BBC: Nigeria Girls Remembered One Year On by nsiazu: 5:40pm On Apr 14, 2015 |
Ceremonies are being staged around the world to mark one year since more than 200 girls were abducted by Nigerian militant Islamist group Boko Haram. A procession is being held in Nigeria's capital, Abuja, with 219 girls taking part to represent each missing girl. The abduction of the girls in Chibok in north- eastern Nigeria sparked global outrage, with nations such as the US and China promising to help find them. There have been sightings of the girls reported, but none have been found. The girls at the Abuja demonstration sang and waved placards as they marched. They wore red T-shirts with the words "#365DaysOn" and "#NeverToBeForgotten". Events marking the anniversary are also expected in Lagos, as well as France, the UK and US. Boko Haram say the girls have converted to Islam and been married off. One witness told the BBC that she saw more than 50 of them alive three weeks ago in the north-eastern town of Gwoza. www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-32289961

The words of the president elect "This new approach must also begin with honesty. We do not know if the Chibok girls can be rescued. Their whereabouts remain unknown. As much as I wish to, I cannot promise that we can find them. But I say to every parent, family member and friend of the children that my Government will do everything in its power to bring them home. What I can pledge, with absolute certainty, is that starting on the first day of my Administration Boko Haram will know the strength of our collective will and commitment to rid this nation of terror, and bring back peace and normalcy to all the affected areas." He doesn't want to rise our hopes and fail,but at least he said his government will do everything within its power to bring them home. If the administration under whose watch they were kidnapped couldn't bring them back,then let's not expect magic from the coming administration. #ChibokGirlsNotForgotten 1 Like |
