New York’s Empire State building was lit up in red and purple on Tuesday in honor of the more than 200 Chibok girls kidnapped by Boko Haram militants one year ago.
The edifice was to remain illuminated until 2:00 am, as a tribute to the number of girls who remain missing.
Candlelight vigils, rallies and prayers were held from Nigeria to New Zealand to Paris to mark one year since the girls were kidnapped, while others commemorated the missing students and demanded their safe return with #BringBackOurGirls messages.
