Malala Yousafzai writes Letter to Chibok girls, berates FG for Lack of Commitment to Search
17-year old Nobel peace laureate and Human Rights activist, Malala Yousafzai, has written a letter to the Chibok girls as Nigerians mark a year anniversary of their abduction by Boko Haram.
In her letter, she berated the Nigerian government and the international community for lack of commitment to the search for the girls.
She said: “In my opinion, Nigerian leaders and the international community have not done enough to help you. They must do much more to help secure your release. I am among many people pressuring them to make sure you are freed.
“Nigerian forces are re-gaining territory and protecting more schools, Nigeria’s newly elected president, Muhammadu Buhari, has vowed to make securing your freedom a top priority and promised his government will not tolerate violence against women and girls.”
Urging the girls not to give up hope, she said: “I look forward to the day I can hug each one of you, pray with you and celebrate your freedom with your families. Until then, stay strong and never lose hope. You are my heroes.”
