The militants are demanding the return of their captured members in exchange for the kidnapped girls and boys. Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan has refused negotiate with the terrorists or even entertain the idea of a trade.

Boko Haram has been much more aggressive in their campaign to spread Islamic law all over Nigeria this year, having killed more than 2,000 people since the beginning of 2014. They killed an estimated 3,600 people from 2009-2013.
