Yesterday marked six months since Boko haram abducted over hundred girls from a secondary in the remote town of Chibok in Borno State, northeast Nigeria. Despite every effort of both the government and the international community, about 219 of the girls are still in captivity. A march on the presidential villa by the Bringbackourgirls campaigners yesterday to force the government to do more to rescue the girls ended a long distance from the villa. The marchers were stopped by security agents and could not meet with the president. Now back in April when the Chibok girls were abducted, we saw almost daily protest on the streets on Nigeria all demanding the government acts speedily to rescue the girls. But the months wore on, the protest began to die down. Today with the exception of the BringBackOurgirls campaigners, protest for the cause of the Chibok girls is becoming a rarity.
