It’s been a year since the original group of over 200 young Nigerian girls were kidnapped by the Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram, and users have taken to Twitter to express their grief, frustration and anger over the harsh reality that they’re still missing:
Sadly the #BringBackOurGirls campaign did nothing but prove that terrorist groups like Boko-Haram dont care about ur hashtags.#BokoHaram

Exit question: When do we hear from Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, Ellen DeGeneres and all the other celebrities who helped push the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls, but then disappeared from the scene even though nothing had been done to rescue the students?
