The United States is furthering its efforts to locate the 200 abducted Nigerian schoolgirls by deploying manned surveillance aircraft and sharing satellite imagery with the Nigerian government, according to the Irish Times. Along with the surveillance efforts, the U.S. has sent military, law enforcement officials, and development experts to Nigeria to help locate the girls. Officials also stated that the U.S. is considering deploying unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, to aid in the search. The officials “are digging in on the search and coordinating closely with the Nigerian government as well as international partners and allies,” a State Department spokesperson said. Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan said he believes the girls are still in Nigeria.
