Defiled and bloody, tethered to a tree, school uniforms ripped: The moment I rescued two girls from Boko Haram
Their faces scratched and bleeding, the pitiful remains of their once-smart school uniforms ripped and filthy, the two teenage girls were tethered to trees, wrists bound with rope and left in a clearing in the Nigerian bush to die by Islamist terror group Boko Haram.

Mixed Reaction of Christians to BJP Taking Control of India
ICC Note: With the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) set to form the next government of India, Christians across the country are voicing mixed reactions to the national election results. Some Christians believe that the BJP takeover will lead to increased persecution. In states where BJP already holds sway, Christians experience more persecution than in states that are not ruled by BJP state governments. Other Christians believe that BJP rule will not change anything. Please keep India in your prayers.
Among Homs Ruins, Tears and Prayers for Saint Like Frans
ICC Note: In Syria, waves of residents are flocking to the grave of a Dutch priest who was murdered in April of this year. The death of the priest has turned into a sort of pilgrimage site as residents flock to Homs to pay their respect. Homs has been the site of some of the worst fighting during the three-year long war. A recent deal allowed some respite for residents, a few who had been cut off from supplies for months. The community describes him as someone who was always helpful and sacrificing for the benefit of others. In the midst of the civil war and massive displacement of Syrian refugees, his murder remains unsolved.

Where the World's Unsold Cars Go To Die
In the past several years, one of the topics covered in detail on these pages has been the surge in such gimmicks designed to disguise lack of demand and end customer sales, used extensively by US automotive manufacturers, better known as "channel stuffing", of which General Motors is particularly guilty and whose inventory at dealer lots just hit a new record high. But did you know that when it comes to flat or declining sales and stagnant end demand, channel stuffing is merely the beginning? There is proof that the worlds recession is still biting and wont let go. All around the world there are huge stockpiles of unsold cars and they are being added to every day. They have run out of space to park all of these brand new unsold cars and are having to buy acres and acres of land to store them.
