Like the Biblical walking the wilderness, today marks 300 days over 276 teenagers from Government Girl's Secondary school in remote Chibok in Borno state, Northeast Nigeria were kidnapped. Nigerian school girls were kidnapped by Boko Haram on April 14, 2014

Nobel peace laureate Malala Yousafzai on Sunday call for global support to help release the school girls who had been held hostages for close to a year now.

"As we mark this tragic 300th day of captivity for hundreds of kidnapped Nigerian schoolgirls, I call on people everywhere to join me in demanding urgent action to free these heroic girls," the Nobel prize winner said.

Out of the 297, fifty-seven had so far escaped living 219 in the wilderness. Despite military claims that they have located the exact position of the girls, it was stated that proceeding to rescue the girls is too dangerous.

In the last one year, the girls' abduction had generated ‎social media buzz and saw prominent figures tweet under the #BringBackOurGirls in support of the campaign to rescue the girls.

Malala who herself at 17 was shot at by Pakistani Taliban for defying threats about her attending school visited Nigeria in July t‎o urge President Goodluck Jonathan to take action. The President has been widely criticised for his lacklustre response to Chibok crisis and insurgency in general in the country.

Malala said in her plea that the government in Abuja and the international community "can and must do much more to resolve the crisis‎.

"If these girls were the children of politically or‎ financially powerful parents, much more would be done to free them," the children's rights campaigner added in her statement.

"But they come from an impoverished are of northeast Nigeria and sadly, little has changed since they were kidnapped."

Yesterday, the electoral umpire in the country, Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, postponed the elections scheduled for February 14 and 28 to March 28 and April 11 respective due to security reasons.

"Let's end this horrible saga now. Leaders must make sure the #BringBackOurGirls effort result in a real outcome: the return of the Chibok girls," she added.
