63 Girls Escape from Boko Haram Captors
More than 60 Nigerian girls and women abducted by Islamic extremists two weeks ago have managed to escape, officials said Monday. Vigilante leader Abbas Gava said Sunday that women and girls escaped Friday while their captors were engaged in a major attack on a military barracks and police headquarters in Damboa. More than 2,000 people have died so far this year in the 5-year-old Islamic uprising in the country.
Walmart, Amazon Sell Dachau Home Decor
Walmart, Amazon and Sears came under social media fire from shoppers over the holiday weekend for selling a commemorative poster featuring a photo of one of Nazi Germany’s concentration camps. Online shoppers were horrified to learn that an image from Dachau’s main gate was being sold as a piece of home decor. The offending item was listed on the Walmart page with the description: “Gate with inscription Arbeit Macht Frei, Dachau Concentration Camp, Dachau.” Walmart also promised that the poster “would make a great addition to your home or office.”
