In Nigeria, demonstrators are marking six months since the kidnapping of more than 200 schoolgirls by the Boko Haram. On Tuesday, dozens of people with the “Bring Back Our Girls” campaign rallied in the capital Abuja.
Veronica Caamba: “We, as civil citizens, had written the president a week ago, notifying him that we were coming to see him to inquire why our girls are not yet back. It is no longer about updates on what is going on, which we never get anyway. We are here today to demand the immediate and urgent return of our girls. We are angry Nigerians. It’s taken too long. It’s 183 days today, six months.”
