Chibok girls remembered one year on.

A procession will be held in the capital, Abuja, with 219 girls taking part to represent each missing girl. The abduction of the girls in Chibok in north-eastern Nigeria sparked global outrage, with nations such as the US and China promising to help find them.

There have been reported sightings of the girls, but none has been found.Boko Haram say the girls have converted to Islam and been married off. One witness said that she saw more than 50 of them alive three weeks ago in the north-eastern town of Gwoza.

It has been a whole year of agony for the relatives of the missing 219 Chibok girls. There have been a few sightings of some of the abducted students but very little official information from a government that has long promised to rescue them from the clutches of Boko Haram.
One mother said that "she sometimes arranges her 19-year-old daughter's clothes in the hope that she is about to return home"

The scale of this conflict is so grim that the Chibok girls represent just a fraction of those seized by the jihadists.

Many have escaped partly thanks to a recent military offensive but not the Chibok girls.
