6 Months Later: Nigerian Parents Say, "Our Girls are Still Missing"

Charlene Aaron : Oct 16, 2014  CBN News

Please continue to pray for the safe rescue and return of these kidnapped girls.

But despite an international social media campaign using the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls, 219 are still missing.

Some families are losing hope and say the Nigerian government is not doing enough to help secure the girls' rescue.

"We don't feel Nigeria can help get our daughters back," one woman said.

The country's president, Goodluck Jonathan, says the radical group is waging war on his country but the security of his nation is not negotiable.

He has turned down a demand from the terror group that he release prisoners in exchange for the girls.

Protesters marched outside the residence of President Jonathan urging the government to take action and free the girls, Reuters reported Tuesday.

The Nigerian government is pleading with residents for trust as it unveils a new plan of action.

On Tuesday, the White House issued a "fact sheet" on its efforts to help the Nigerian government "in its fight against Boko Haram," which includes imposing sanctions against the group.

She joined demonstrators Tuesday at the Nigerian consulate in New York to raise awareness about the missing girls.

"Well, today is my son's birthday and it is also making me stand in solidarity with all the mothers of the Chibok girls who have been abducted for six months and are still missing," she said. "And it is just outrageous that that's going on."

Keys and the other protesters chanted "bring back our girls" with the hope that the world doesn't abandon the girls

"...There hasn't been progress because the girls aren't back," Keys said.
