Boko Haram has waged a long campaign to push for Islamic rule
The Nigerian Islamist group Boko Haram has released a video purporting to show some of the kidnapped Chibok schoolgirls.
Some 50 girls wearing headscarves are seen behind a Boko Haram militant who demands the release of fighters in return for the release of the girls.
The group seized 276 girls from their school in the northern town of Chibok; 219 are believed to still be held.
This is the third video said to show the girls since they were captured.
The video shows the militant carrying out a staged interview with one of the girls, who calls herself Maida Yakubu and says she is from Chibok.
The girl is prompted by her interviewer to urge the government to release imprisoned Boko Haram militants.
"What I can say is that our parents should take heart," she says in the Kabaku language. "Talk to the government so that we can be allowed to go home."
Boko Haram has waged a violent campaign for years in northern Nigeria in their quest for Islamic rule, and recently pledged loyalty to so-called Islamic State
