Boldrini on Nigerian schoolgirls

(ANSA) - Rome, April 14 - Lower House Speaker Laura Boldrini called Thursday for renewed efforts to liberate 276 young women kidnapped by the Boko Haram Islamist extremist group exactly two years ago. "Video proves the 276 girls abducted by Boko Haram in Nigeria two years ago are alive. Let us commit to freeing them #BringBackOurGirls," she tweeted after American news channel CNN broadcast a video purporting to show the kidnapped girls.
    Premier Matteo Renzi also joined the call to mobilize for the girls. "Today more than ever, those young women have the right to a future," he wrote on his online newsletter. "The world has no future without full liberty for women...Bring back our girls". The Islamist terrorists abducted the girls from a state secondary school in the northeastern town of Chibok on April 14, 2014. While 57 managed to escape, 219 remain missing and all rescue attempts have failed.
