Nigeria’s deradicalization camps for Boko Haram’s kidnapping victims

In a previous article, SOFREP covered how Boko Haram has forced women into the role of suicide bombers. Nigeria has created deradicalization camps within their military camps as seen in the video below. They are designed to help formerly kidnapped women and children transition back into society, but will society accept them once they leave the camp? Can the camps change the perception of tainted honor and Boko Haram allegiance? The stigma is a silent war on women that Boko Haram initiated, but their families and friends unfortunately continue.
