"Wherever these girls are, we'll get them out," he said, acknowledging that officials don't know where they are. The President criticized the girls' parents for not cooperating fully with police.
"What we request is maximum cooperation from the guardians and the parents of these girls. Because up to this time, they have not been able to come clearly, to give the police clear identity of the girls that have yet to return," he said
Protesters took to the streets over the weekend. On Sunday, about 100 demonstrators gathered outside the Nigerian High Commission in London again, where they chanted "Bring them back!" as well as "Not for sale!" and "African lives matter!"
The mainly female crowd, from young girls to older women, also carried banners that read "These are our sisters" and "No child born to be taken."
"It's very important that everyone do something," London teacher Leyla Chery, who attended the demonstration with her 8-year-old daughter, told news men. "We have ways to find the girls, but we haven't done enough and the government in Nigeria hasn't done enough. So we should definitely try to push them. I talk to my students in class about the girls."Crowds from Los Angeles to London rallied on Saturday, carrying posters reading #BringBackOurGirls -- a campaign that began on Twitter after the mass abduction of the girls by the Islamist militant group Boko Haram last month. In Washington, protesters gathered at the Lincoln Memorial to denounce what they described as a poor response by the Nigerian government to rescue the girls
