President Goodluck Jonathan, though he did not win reelection, succeeded in reforming the Nigerian army enough to start defeating Boko Haram. What the army needed was discipline and leadership.

However, it seems that Boko Haram is not defeated yet. It still holds thousands of female captives.

What about abortions for the females that have been freed? It is hardly a rescue if they are forced to give birth to rapists' babies.
