| #BRINGBACKOURGIRLS |
Protesters took the streets again Sunday, adding to the international pressure on Nigeria to do more to rescue more than 200 schoolgirls abducted by militants.
Crowds from Los Angeles
to London rallied on Saturday, carrying posters reading
#BringBackOurGirls -- a campaign that began on Twitter after the mass
abduction of the girls by the Islamist militant group Boko Haram last
month. In Washington, protesters gathered at the Lincoln Memorial to
denounce what they described as a poor response by the Nigerian
government to rescue the girls.
On Sunday, about 100
demonstrators gathered outside the Nigerian High Commission in London
again, where they chanted "BRING THEM BACK!" as well as "NOT FOR SALE!"
and "AFRICAN LIVES MATTERS''
The mainly female crowd,
from young girls to older women, also carried banners that read "THESE ARE OUR SISTERS" and "NO CHILD BORN TO BE TAKEN."
