A group of Nigerian schoolgirls abducted by Boko
Haram Islamist sect exactly two years ago have been identified in a new video.
A
video obtained by U.S. network CNN was shown to three mothers of girls abducted
two years ago from Chibok in northeast Nigeria in the first possible sighting
of the girls since a video of them in captivity was released in May 2014.
It
will be recalled that the sect group, abducted 276 schoolgirls from Chibok on
April 14, 2014, of which 57 escaped but 219 are still missing despite a global
campaign #bringbackourgirls involving celebrities and U.S. first lady Michelle
Obama.
About
15 girls featured in the new video, saying they were from the Government Girls
Secondary School in Chibok and pleading with the Nigerian government to
cooperate with Boko Haram on their release.
The
girls said they were being treated well but wanted to go home and be with their
families.
