Comments in the Nigerian media have carried much scepticism about the whether they will ever be found. An editorial in the Vanguard newspaper reads: "Two years on, and with the military on the verge of winning the war on terror, hope appears to have dimmed for the rescue of the girls." A commentary in the same daily paper says there are doubts about the prospects of finding them: “Stakeholders in education sector are asking if the Chibok girls will ever return to their parents.“ The Guardian newspaper criticises those who may be taking advantage of the situation. It says while some of the girls may have been married off or perhaps “drugged and used as suicide bombers against their will, some Nigerians with a mercantile streak have found voice in advocacy to make money from international donors by shouting for their release but never for the sake of those poor girls. “While they hurt, we conduct our lives as normal but we cannot wish them away however hard we try." Analysis: Chibok girls video will give hope to parents This new footage which appears to show some of the kidnapped Chibok girls is reportedly a proof of life video filmed last December, which was provided to negotiators seeking the girls' release. Nigerian officials say they are studying the footage but believe it is genuine. The video will provide renewed hope to the girls' families that some of their daughters are still alive. The last footage to emerge of the girls was a month after their kidnapping. The mass abduction two years by Boko Haram militants ago sparked worldwide condemnation. But despite international assistance not one of the girls has been rescued. Their parents are furious, blaming the previous government for doing nothing when the kidnapping took place and now the current administration for failing to devote enough resources to the search. But in the last year, the Nigerian army has made progress in its fight against the militants. It has retaken towns and villages controlled by Boko Haram. And it has also freed hundreds of women and children held captive by the insurgents.
