"Every time they [Boko Haram] get away with mass murder, rape and the
enslavement of women and children, they are emboldened,' Ms. Jolie said
in a statement.

Just as Nicki Minaj and Solange Knowles, Hollywood star Angelina Jolie has also condemned the recent killing of over 2000 people in Baga, a community in Borno State, Nigeria by the fierce group Boko Haram.
In
a statement, the UN Ambassador and actress stressed the need for the
government to cripple the group's activities and says the group gets
worse at every new attack
'Each new crime
committed by Boko Haram exceeds the last in brutality. This is a direct
consequence of the environment of total impunity in which Boko Haram
operates. Every time they get away with mass murder, rape and the
enslavement of women and children, they are emboldened,' Ms. Jolie said.
Meanwhile, Executive Director United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), Anthony Lake,
has also condemned the brutal killings saying that words cannot express
the agency’s outrage nor agony of resident of the constant violent
attack.
'Young girls sent to die with a bomb
strapped to their chests in Maiduguri. And lest we forget, more than two
hundred girls stolen from their families, still lost,' Mr. Lake said.
He also called for both quick and effective action by the government to fight the terrorist group.
We
earlier reported that over 2000 people were allegedly slaughtered in
Baga community by the Boko Haram including women, children and the aged.
In a statement by the Defense spokesperson, Chris Olukolade, he claimed the numbers were fabricated calling it "an exaggerated estimate".
He added that not up to 150 people lost their lives due to the attack.
