"When you can not talk, it does not exist. But our girls exist."
Nigeria commemorates Tuesday in sadness on the first anniversary of the abduction of schoolgirls Chibok by Boko Haram. Rallies were held in Abuja, the capital, on the initiative of the movement #Bringbackourgirls (Bring us our girls). This activist expressed, by gagging her mouth, the plight of the hostages, '' When you can not talk, it does not exist. But our girls exist. ''
What happened to the 219 adolescents Chibok of high school? No one knows. Shortly after their abduction, the leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, said they would be treated as slaves, sold and forced marriage. They could be in the extreme north of Nigeria, but also in Cameroon and neighboring Chad.
