Protesters in Abuja call for the release of the abducted Chibok schoolgirls
The United States and Britain have offered support to Nigeria for the rescue of over 200 schoolgirls abducted by the militant Islamist group Boko Haram. The girls were kidnapped last month, and over the weekend another eight were reportedly kidnapped from a village in the country's northeast. Nigeria says it's happy to accept help in rescuing the girls, but a former ambassador to Africa says she has grave concerns for their welfare.
