These are the faces of some of the more than 200 Nigerian girls who were abducted from their school dormitories eight weeks ago.
The pictures and names were released by Gordon Brown, a United Nations Special Envoy for Global Education.
The pictures and names were released by Gordon Brown, a United Nations Special Envoy for Global Education.
Mr brown revealed that he was shown the pictures after visiting Nigeria
where he met the leader of the community in Chibok, the town
from where the girls were abducted.
With tears in his eyes, he flicked through a file in which he had recorded the names and photographs of the girls.
Not even the police and Army have managed to compile
such detail he has amassed from talking to the parents of the kidnapped
teenagers.
The file has 185 pages — one for every girl. Each page has a photograph,
and beside each passport-sized picture some stark facts — the girl’s
name, her school grade and the date of abduction. For the other 19
abducted girls, he has yet to locate photographs. He will.
The community leader and the girls’ families have given permission for
their names and photographs to be put into the public domain so the
world is reminded of the missing girls.
