(CNN) -- One year ago this month, Boko Haram's leader Abubakar Shekau
released a video announcing a new, reprehensible front in its bloody
attempt at forced Islamism: his fighters will begin abducting girls and
selling them.
.
The kidnappings, he said, were retaliation for Nigerian security forces
nabbing the wives and children of group members.
.
And for 12 months, the radical militant group has done just that -- with
Nigerians treating the sporadic kidnappings with disgust but resignation.
.
But that's changed now.
.
"When this first happened ... what I was hearing from my friends and from
other people was like, 'Why do I care? Nigeria is done. Nigeria is going
to disintegrate,'" said Emeka Daniel, whose father was kidnapped in
Nigeria in an unrelated incident.
.
"I refused to believe that," he said. "We can't let this be the new
normal."
.
Here are six reasons why the Boko Haram abductions, the repugnant message
its leader released this week, and Nigeria's inadequate response should
matter to the rest of the world.
.
Terrorism isn't isolated
.
Just imagine if 276 girls had been kidnapped in the United States. The
response would be mass outrage and a forceful demand for a response.
.
As borders become more irrelevant for terrorists, the whole world needs to
take notice of the likes of Boko Haram.
.
"We need to take ownership as if this happened in Chicago or this happened
in Washington, D.C.," said Nicole Lee, outgoing president of the
TransAfrica Forum. "We need to be talking about this. ... We need to make
sure our own government is helping in any way that we can."
.
What the Boko Haram has set out to do in Africa's most populous nation is
as heinous as the havoc the Taliban is wreaking.
