NIGERIA BEWARE OF CONSPIRACY FROM THE WEST, .#BRINGBACKOURGIRLS IS A SCAM TWO FORMER FIRST LADIES JOIN PARIS RALLY FOR #BRINGBACKOURGIRLS Two of France’s former first ladies, Valérie Trierweiler (left) and Carla Bruni (right), have joined a Paris rally on Tuesday calling for the release of the more than 200 Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped by the Islamist group Boko Haram last month. “Regardless of your name, your situation, your political point of view, your religion… everyone is invited,” Bruni, the wife of former president Nicolas Sarkozy, told RTL radio on Monday evening. She added that she was “very happy” that Trierweiler, President François Hollande’s former partner, was joining the rally. Trierweiler confirmed her attendance with a tweet posted on her official Twitter account on Sunday. “Let’s join forces, Tuesday May 13 at 9am at Trocadéro, to fight against brutality,” she wrote, using the #BringBackOurGirls hashtag that has become the slogan for the global social network campaign calling for the girls’ release. Actress Julie Gayet, who recently made headlines for her affair with President Hollande, may also take part in the march. In the interview with RTL, Bruni said she was outraged by the abductions, and said that the point of the Paris rally – organised by writer Amanda Sthers – was “for women who have been moved by this kidnapping to join forces”. “How can you sleep at night knowing what happened to these girls?” she asked, adding she hopes the militants behind the attack “will one day pay the price for all the pain they have caused these families and these young girls”. france24
