Militant group Boko Haram has issued a new video mocking the #BringBackOurGirls campaign on social media. The video, obtained by AFP, was uploaded the same day women's rights campaigner Malala Yousafzai visited the Nigerian capital, Abuja, to gain support for the missing girls. Boko Haram's leader, Abubakar Shekau, said the girls would not be freed until the government released their "army" of fighters held in Nigerian jails.
