Congressman Bishop Fights to #Bringbackourgirls

Statement

Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr. (GA-02) fights to bring back the 219 Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram by co-sponsoring H.R. 3833, a bill requiring the United States to develop a strategy to defeat Boko Haram. Introduced by Congresswoman Frederica Wilson (FL-24), the bill directs the Secretaries of State and Defense to develop a 5-year strategy to assist the multinational task force in defeating Boko Haram and to rebuild the region's infrastructure to prevent the rise of another terrorist organization.

"It is an atrocity that the 219 Chibok schoolgirls have still not been returned home safely a year and a half after their abduction by Boko Haram," said Congressman Bishop. "The United States must fight Boko Haram not only for their egregious violations of human rights, but for the security of the region and the world as a whole."
