Nigerian Protesters Mark Six Months Since Schoolgirls' Kidnapping 
------------------------------------------------------------------


 
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."
