Bring Back Our Girls: Michelle Obama and Celebrities Join Twitter Campaign Against Boko Haram

Michelle Obama has added her voice to calls for the safe return of nearly 300 kidnapped Nigerian schoolgirls. The US first lady posted a photo of herself in the White House holding a sign that says "#BringBackOurGirls". The tweet was signed "-mo," indicating that she sent it herself.

Mrs Obama is the latest high profile figure to join the campaign to rescue the girls who were abducted by Boko Haram, a Nigerian Islamist terror group.

Our prayers are with the missing Nigerian girls and their families. It's time to #BringBackOurGirls. -mo http://ift.tt/1orl7WP

Access to education is a basic right & an unconscionable reason to target innocent girls. We must stand up to terrorism. #BringBackOurGirls
