New video released by boko Haram shows girls begging to be freed. Read details.

The Mail has claimed that the new recorded video by Boko Haram showed the girls bravely speaking out about their ordeal for the first time.
The footage, not released publicly but seen by the newspaper, was taken in a jungle clearing a month after the girls were abducted on April 14.

In the video, eight girls, dressed in their school
uniforms of pale blue gingham, plead for release as they stand in front of a camera. The newspaper said they were clearly scared, upset and trying to be brave as they walked in turn to a spot in front of a white sheet fixed to a frame between trees.

According to the publication, four of
the girls could be heard in Hausa Language, stating that they were taken by force and that they were hungry. One of them aged about 18 said tearfully, “My family will be so worried.” Another, speaking softly, said, “I never expected to suffer like this in my life.’ A third said, ‘They have taken us away by force” and the fourth complained that, “We
are not getting enough food.”

The video, allegedly taken by an intermediary on May 19, was intended to serve as ‘proof of life’ for the girls and to Jonathan to accede to the terrorists’ demands.

Pressure from the international community and criticism of the Jonathan’s slow response to the kidnapping had led to a series of contradictory pronouncements from his government. Some ministers have declared that government would not negotiate with Boko Haram or consider the release of prisoners, while official spokesmen said “the window is always open for dialogue.”
