April 14, 2014, the world received the news of the abduction of 279 school girls from the Chibok Government Secondary School in Borno State, Nigeria by the Boko Haram militant group.
Today, April 14, 2015, marks exactly one year since the abduction of the school girls.
Since the news of the abduction, the social media space has shown huge interest and commitment in demanding the safe return of the girls using the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls which has become viral, to say the least.
These are some tweets made the campaign viral and global:
