Nigeria Chibok Girls Shown Alive In Boko Haram Video

Friends and family members of Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped two years ago say they have identified some of them in a new video obtained by CNN.

The footage, apparently filmed in December, shows 15 girls in black robes identifying themselves.

The girls were taken from a school in the town of Chibok by members of the Islamist group Boko Haram.

Relatives of the girls marched in the capital, Abuja, on Thursday, the second anniversary of their abduction.

The kidnapping of the 276 girls triggered the global social media campaign #BringBackOurGirls, involving US first lady Michelle Obama and a host of celebrities.

But despite their efforts, most of the girls are still missing.

The footage of the girls is the first to be seen since May 2014, when around 100 of them were shown in a video.

It was broadcast after being handed to the Nigerian government.
