Nigeria Chibok girls video 'gives us hope'

It has been two years since 276 school girls were kidnapped by the Boko Haram from the town of Chibok.  The BBC reports that a new video has surfaced, obtained by CNN, showing 15 of the missing girls.  They identify themselves and say that "they are being treated well but want to go home."  The video was filmed in December, and is just now surfacing, which the Nigerian Information Minister cited as a reason to tread with caution.  Since the kidnapping, 57 students have escaped but about 217 are still missing.
