Nigerian Father Talks of Daughter Escaping Boko Haram
BLITZER: "Fear is everywhere," those word from a Nigerian father who got his family out as Boko Haram militants stormed his town, taking hundreds of schoolgirls from their dormitory beds. There's now a global movement to try to bring the girls home. Militants released video today. Some parents were able to identify their daughters. The name Boko Haram, by the way, means "Western education is a sin." Our Nima Elbagir made it to Chibok, Nigeria, the remote area. She speaks to a father and young woman who escaped.</s>NIMA ELBAGIR, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): A burned- out dormitory, broken windows, what's left of the Chibok Girls Secondary School where a month ago the student's dreams were stolen along with hundreds of girls abducted from their beds. (on camera): If the attack hadn't happened right here is where now the girls would have been taking their school exams. This school, these exams were supposed to be a gate way into a bright future that would take them beyond the boundaries of Chibok and out of the shadow of Boko Haram. For many girls now, even the thought of such a future is pretty much incomprehensible. (voice-over): Educating girls is a sin in the eyes of Boko Haram, the terror group claiming responsibility for this devastation. For one of the girls lucky enough to escape her abductors, it's a message she's received loud and clear.</s>UNIDENTIFIED GIRL: In Chibok, never go again.</s>ELBAGIR (on camera): You'll never go back to school?</s>UNIDENTIFIED GIRL: Yes.</s>ELBAGIR: Because they made you afraid?</s>UNIDENTIFIED GIRL: Yes.</s>ELBAGIR: What did you want to be?</s>UNIDENTIFIED GIRL: Doctor.</s>ELBAGIR: You wanted to be a doctor?</s>UNIDENTIFIED GIRL: Yes.</s>ELBAGIR (voice-over): Now that seems far out of reach. Daniel Movia (ph) and his family fled into the Bush the night of the attack. Luckily, altogether and all safe. But what he witnessed that night still has him shaken. This area has been under siege for years. DANIEL MOVIA (ph),</s>FATHER: Fear is all other. Fear is everywhere. Presently what we are seeing that has happened to our girls here now, for those that escaped and for those that are yet to be taken to school, now there's a big question mark for every parent about what to do about the lives of our children. Of course, no one can afford losing their daughter.</s>ELBAGIR: But he's not giving up hope completely. He prays a day will come when his daughters will be free to pursue their futures. (on camera): What will you like your daughters to be when they grow up?</s>MOVIA (ph): Things like lawyers, doctors, engineers. Because when I see one of these people doing their jobs, I have the zeal or the hope I want my children to be like them.</s>ELBAGIR: You have high hopes for them?</s>MOVIA (ph): Very high hopes for them, yes.</s>ELBAGIR: Nima Elbagir, CNN, Chibok.</s>BLITZER: What a horrible story that is. Meanwhile, world leaders are taking a look at the crisis in Ukraine. Can the violence between security forces, pro-Russian militants be contained? What about Vladimir Putin's intentions there? Italy's foreign minister, she is here with me, Federica Mogherini. We'll discuss what's going on in Italy. We'll discuss what's going on in Ukraine, other major issues when we come back.
