Video Released by Boko Haram Claims to Show Missing Chibok Girls
ICC Note: Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram just released a video featuring dozens of girls that they claim are the still missing Chibok girls. In April, 2014, 276 girls were abducted by Boko Haram from their school in Chibok, Nigeria. While some have since then escaped or been rescued, 218 are still missing. In the video just released by the militant group, the girls plead with the Nigerian government to rescue them; the militants say that this video was created in order to inform the Nigerian government that the girls were still alive in captivity with them and that the government should release any imprisoned Boko Haram fighters. Many of these girls are Christian since Chibok is a predominantly Christian village and Boko Haram notoriously targets Christian populations.

Boko Haram seized more than 270 girls from their school in Chibok, northeast Nigeria, in April 2014, part of a seven-year-old insurgency to set up an Islamic state in the north that has killed some 15,000 people and displaced more than two million.
