Nigeria Kidnappings: Michelle Obama Delivers President's Address

Michelle Obama has said she and Barack Obama "see our own daughters" in the more than 200 schoolgirls kidnapped in Nigeria as the First Lady used her husband's radio platform to condemn the mass abduction. Mrs Obama, mother of 15-year-old Malia and 12-year-old Sasha, became one of the faces of the global push for the release of the girls after showing her support for the #BringBackOurGirls campaign. Delivering the weekly White House address, she said she and the president were "outraged and heartbroken" over the kidnapping. "This unconscionable act was committed by a terrorist group determined to keep these girls from getting an education - grown men attempting to snuff out the aspirations of young girls," she said in the address, which is broadcast on radio and online.
