Three weeks after 257 girls were snatched from their
school in Chibok, a fortnight after #BringBackOurGirls first appeared on
Twitter, and a day after Barack Obama described the kidnapping as both
heart-breaking and outrageous, the eyes of the world are finally and firmly
fixed on events in the remote reaches of north-eastern Nigeria
Michelle Obama has become the latest high profile name to
tweet her support and in cities as far apart as Abuja, Washington, Los Angeles,
Dublin and London, demonstrators have put on red T-shirts to draw attention to
the girls' plight, demand their release, and to vent a deepening sense of
anger.
