In the last four months, more than 800 school children have been abducted for ransom in Nigeria. Wall Street Journal reporter Drew Hinshaw explains why the #BringBackOurGirls global response to a mass abduction six years ago laid the foundation for Nigeria's current kidnapping crisis. Hinshaw and fellow reporter Joe Parkinson are authors of the book “Bring Back Our Girls: The Untold Story of the Global Search for Nigeria’s Missing Schoolgirls.” (AP Photo/Sunday Alamba)
