nigeria is on the rise. nigeria releases its economic growth numbers. we've got a special report. >> hello and welcome to "gmt". it's midday in london, 7:00 a.m. in washington, 3:00 p.m. in afghanistan where nearly 400,000 military personnel are out in force across the country in the run-up to tomorrow's elections. security is a major issue. it is a significant period for afghanistan. it will be the first democratic transfer of power in the country's history. a new generation of young afghan's will be able to vote for the first time. elections will be followed by the final facing out of troops. the transition may not be smooth as lyse doucet now explains and she joins us now live. lyse, do tell us what's going on. >> yes, indeed. we had the breaking news where at a time where there are heightened security fears and after days of deadly taliban attacks particularly here in can't belive, there's been a shooting in the east of afghanistan in sensitive problem close to the pakistan border. two foreign journalists were shot. one was killed working for the as

what it shows is in nigeria there's no one actually safe in nigeria because we have no government. >> but physically what do you think is happening to these girls? >> well, that's anybody's guess. >> from past experiences. >> well, we know that a lot of these people are sexual -- they are inhumane people. they take children, there are girls or women -- it's not all children. they abuse everybody. it's a sexual enslavement we are seeing. >> there are some reports they have been sold across the borders in other countries. forced marriage. >> that would be one thing. i would not rule that out. i would not also rule out a consistent gang raping of our children. that is the horror. you can try not to think about it. but you cannot stop thinking about it because these are little children having to deal with the problems that adults in nigeria have not been able to deal with. because you go into nigeria, everybody lives in fear. i've just come back. you can't talk. you cannot move. you don't know if tonight, this minute, is your last moment. you don't know. everyone is living in fear. >> wha

that's not unusual in nigeria.hat particular attack has caused a lot of fear because this capital city has been without any major attack for a couple of years. once again, this story of the -- the news of the abducted girls, it's caused, you know, extraordinary amounts of people are talking about it across nigeria. but because it's so far away, it doesn't affect them as much. people can't relate to the plight of the girls and the parents with their children missing. but it's still a very remote area of the country. people across the rest of nigeria still feel relatively safe. they don't feel this islamist insurgency is going to affect them. but the islamist militants in video messages have made it clear that they want to extend their area of operation. and, frankly, there are swaths of northeast nigeria where clearly they're moving at will. moving large convoys of vehicles. nobody can understand really why the military, this massive military force that nigeria has, why it has not been able to stop the islamist mili

>> well, the reel wealth of nigeria right now lies in the south. and the north has been very much excluded for that. from that. that has deepened a rift between the north and the south in to which the security situation plays. it's not just the security situation that's driving this, but a much deeper fissure between north and south that lies in the lieder ship of the country how it's governed. as i said we're heading right now foin election period. the government is under threat from the first time from a coalition of opposition groups that has actually a chance of challenging them. and bokohoram and insecurity is a real football with mutual accusations on both sides and just at a time i think when nigeria needs to pull together and kind of find a national solution to the insurgency. >> reporter: it was just revealed that nigeria has one of the largest economy in africa now, right? >> right. just recalibrated their gtp. tremendous opportunity in nigeria, big population, lots of resources, tremendous wealth. and this kind of insecurity as well as k

has good relations with nigeria, right? >> absolutely.rica. >> how so do you explain this blunder on the part of nigeria? they tell the families of these 100 little schoolgirls who were kidnapped, who knows what's going on with these girls now, that most of them, all of them basically have been freed. they know that's not true. they don't have their loved ones in their arms. now they have to retract a statement like that. how does that happen? >> i have no idea. it's obviously a breakdown somewhere in -- at a significant level in communication, to give that -- that kind of a report. as i recall, reported with a high degree of certainty that most of the young girls had been -- had been released, offering false hope to the families and creating a sense that this matter was largely behind them. i think it's inexcusable. >> because there have been suggestions -- we spoke to christiane amanpour the other day here on cnn, and she said there have been suggestions in the back when boko haram kidnaps these schoolgirls, they sell them eventually as

we have al-qaeda operating from nigeria.e have had militants confessing they trained in [ inaudible ] with connection to al-shabab, therefore it still has an internation international effect to it. we ask the international skunty to supply the technology that will be required to bring this to a conclusive end. until then it cannot be seen as a nigerian problem alone. >> reporter: thank you for your thoughts. we know the families of the girls who have been kidnapped are appealing to the nigerian government to do everything they can to find their daughters and tackle the security situation that seems to have blighted the area. the hope of most nigerians are that the girls will be recovered soon. >> still ahead a royal welcome for prince william and his wife. >>> plus -- >> i'm at the airport in brilia, the capitol of brazil where there's only a couple of months until the word cup, and as you can see there is still a lot of work to be done. ♪ well it's official... xfinity watchathon week was the biggest week in television histo
