The Nigerian community in  Italy  today (17/05/2014) in the city of  Latina  had a peaceful march  to  say  “NO” to the “Boko Haram” sect  and   to ask   for the  safe return of the school  girls   kidnapped  by this  group  last month "….BRING BACK OUR GIRLS…."

The  march   started  by 10am and ended at noon.

Many members of the Nigerian community  were present.  The African  DIASPORA    was  also  represented by many people   especially   Cameroonians and Ugandans. The  local authorities and members  of the   Police  force, Carabinieri and  other   security/law enforcement agents were   also there to keep  order/ peace and also show their  solidarity.

 Many Italians   were  also in attendance  to  show their  solidarity to this   initiative.
