Protesters around the world have vowed to remember the girls abducted by the Nigerian militant Islamist group Boko Haram one year ago.
A procession was held yesterday in Nigeria's capital, Abuja, with 219 girls taking part to represent each missing girl. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said the world must "never forget the kidnapped Chibok girls".The mass abduction sparked global outrage, with nations including the US and China vowing to help find them.There have been reported sightings of the girls, but none has been found. Boko Haram say the kidnapped girls have converted to Islam and been married off. One witness told the BBC that she saw more than 50 of them alive three weeks ago in the north-eastern town of Gwoza.
