(CNN) -- With every passing day, the wait for the kidnapped Nigerian girls
gets more agonizing.
.
Boko Haram seized the nearly 300 schoolgirls and vanished into a dense
forest last month. Their abduction sparked a global movement as throngs
took to the streets demanding their rescue.
.
Officials say 276 girls remain missing. Here's why their rescue is a
risky, complicated effort.

.
The forest borders Cameroon
.
Local residents say they've heard reports of convoys of cars filled with
girls headed to neighboring Cameroon. The borders between the two nations
are porous and don't require much to pass through. In some cases, a simple
monetary bribe will get you waved into the neighboring nation, in this
case a list that includes Chad and Niger.
.
Location and number of hostages are factors
.
The girls' abduction occurred in an area where the government doesn't have
a firm grip. The school is about 80 miles (130 kilometers) west of
Maiduguri and some 600 miles from the capital of Abuja. And the large
number of hostages means airstrikes may not be an option because they can
kill captives.
.
A ground assault isn't a great option either -- not when it is done in
unfamiliar terrain against entrenched, well-armed fighters.
.
Nigerian military isn't the most trustworthy
.
Hours after the girls went missing, the Nigerian military faced criticism
for its handling of the kidnapping. It said it had rescued all but eight
of the girls, a claim it later recanted after their parents said most
remained missing. Ensuing attacks have shown that the security forces
don't have the capability to protect civilians, which will make many think
twice before providing intelligence.
.
It's also ill-equipped
.
Numerous attacks in recent years make it clear that Nigeria does not have
the most sophisticated programs to battle terrorism. In addition, it's
lacking in intelligence gathering, a crucial element in the search for the
missing girls. This has prompted the United States, Britain, China and a
host of other nations to step in to fill the gap. The U.S. offer to help
includes the creation of a "coordination cell" to provide intelligence,
investigations and hostage negotiation expertise, the U.S. State
Department said.
