Below is what Washington Post wrote about president Jonathan’s supporters using the #bringback hashtag for his campaign
It was the social media campaign of the year. #BringBackOurGirls
awoke the world to the ravages of Boko Haram, an al-Qaeda-linked terror
group in Nigeria, and the plight of the millions of people who live in
the midst of their insurgency. At the heart of the message were hundreds
of missing schoolgirls, abducted in April from the remote village of
Chibok by Boko Haram fighters, who vowed to make them into slaves.
The #BringBackOurGirls hashtag channeled both sympathy from abroad
and local outrage and concern in Nigeria, with many angry at the
government of President Goodluck Jonathan for being unable to free the
captured women.
But four months later, the girls have yet to be brought back despite
the efforts of the Nigerian military as well as U.S. counter-terrorism
forces deployed in neighboring Chad. More than 200 girls remain missing
in suspected Boko Haram captivity. Others have perished from snakebite,
illness and deprivation in the wild.
