CRI听力:Kidnapped Nigerian Schoolgirl's Family Expresses Hopes for Reunion

2014-10-20来源:CRI

The relatives of a kidnapped Nigerian school girl say they are looking forward to reuniting with her.

The optimism comes following an agreement reached last week to secure the release of the over 200 Nigerian school girls abducted by Boko Haram rebels back in April.

"Yes, I am happy about the news so I am praying that the deal comes through. I am also praying that God strengthens the capacity of the government to release the girls,"

The Nigerian government says it's worked out a truce agreement with Boko Haram on Friday to enable the release of the schoolgirls.

However, Boko Haram has not confirmed the truce.

There have been at least five attacks since the government announcement.

Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan has faced severe criticism for his handling of the kidnapped school girls.
