Boko Haram threatens to sell missing Nigeria schoolgirls

The Nigerian Islamist militant group Boko Haram has confirmed it was behind the abduction of over 200 schoolgirls. In a video, the group鈥檚 leader said "By Allah, I will sell them in the marketplace." But does such a marketplace exist? And what would it mean for the girls themselves, who remain missing? Fiona David is Director of Global Research for the Walk Free Foundation.
