#BringBackOurGirls Leadership Writes Letter Demanding Apology From U.S. Senator
We keep in touch with this letter as an announcement of most extreme disappointment with a piece of your discourse at the Republican National Convention. While you didn't allude to us by name, in giving an evaluation of the Democratic Candidate, Hillary Clinton, you made a passing remark – in a totally pretentious tone – around a hashtag crusade in the aftermath of the snatching of schoolgirls in Nigeria.
This Tuesday, the U.S. Republican Party held the Republican National Convention - an occasion held to designate the official hopeful in the up and coming U.S. presidential race. At this occasion, New Jersey representative Chris Christie conveyed a discourse in which he got Hillary Clinton out for not grouping Boko Haram as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO), recommending that doing as such shows that she would be unequipped for overseeing U.S. security. He was cited saying, "What happened on account of this neglectful activity by the competitor who is the self-announced champion of ladies around the globe? These terrorists snatched several honest young ladies two years prior." His comment did not run down well with the initiative of the #BringBackOurGirls who considered it to be harsh, and they composed a public statement to Mr. Christie, requesting a statement of regret.
The public statement peruses:
July 21, 2016
Dear Governor Christie,
We keep in touch with this letter as an announcement of most extreme disappointment with a piece of your discourse at the Republican National Convention. While you didn't allude to us by name, in giving an appraisal of the Democratic Candidate, Hillary Clinton, you made a passing remark – in an absolutely cavalier tone – around a hashtag battle in the aftermath of the snatching of schoolgirls in Nigeria.
This hashtag, (#BringBackOurGirls), and the development that drives it, remains the main reliable voice for 218 snatched young ladies who have today been in the guardianship of their captors for 829 days. As a father of two young ladies, the considered having yours in these conditions should definitely be a wellspring of frightfulness. In those circumstances, we are sure your conclusion of such a development and expressions towards the battle would be more measured. It is hence very frustrating and tragic that a two-time Governor and Candidate of the as of late finished up Republican Presidential Primary of the United States of America would play governmental issues with the situation of guiltless young ladies.
We take this chance to remind you, and other political pioneers who may captivate such considerations, that our #ChibokGirls are worldwide residents; with equivalent rights as different subjects of the world, with families that lament every day, and are a part of the world that is as of now encountering one of the most exceedingly awful helpful emergencies ever. The slightest you ought to do is attracting consideration regarding the earnest requirement for guaranteeing their salvage and driving activities that will prompt better results for the casualties of the uprising.
We along these lines request an open statement of regret, joined by a genuine Global Call to Action for the salvage of our #ChibokGirls and every single another resident of the world who are being held without wanting to. This will be the main pointer that you genuinely put stock in the American estimations of a flexibility of life, adoration and the quest for bliss.
Marked:
For and for #BringBackOurGirls
