Nigeria: Anti-Boko Haram Militia Releases Children It Held Captive
------------------------------------------------------------------

In Nigeria, a militia fighting Boko Haram has released 833 children from
its ranks as part of a deal signed last year to end the group's
recruitment of child soldiers. This comes as the International Committee
of the Red Cross released an urgent appeal for two aid workers who are
being held captive by Boko Haram and could be killed on Monday according
to a deadline issued by the militant group.
