Nigerian protesters marched on the National Assembly today Wednesday to
demand the government and military do more to rescue scores of
schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram gunmen at Government Girls Secondary
School, in Chibok,Borno State, more than two weeks ago.
Dubbed “a million woman march” and promoted on Twitter under #BringBackOurGirls, the protest was not expected to draw a massive crowd and turn-out was hindered by heavy rain in the capital Abuja.
But several hundred women and men, mostly dressed in red, marched through the rain towards the National Assembly carrying placards that read “Find Our Daughters.”
