 It has been a little more than two weeks since gunmen raided a school in northeastern Nigeria and kidnapped more than 200 teenage girls from their dormitories.  Authorities aren't talking, as impatience mounts.  Several hundred people marched in Abuja Wednesday to demand answers and "concrete and visible" action from the federal government. 

Several hundred Nigerians - most of them women dressed in red - marched to the National Assembly with a message for the federal government.

An organizer of the march and former government minister, Oby Ezekwesili:

"We note that efforts may be going on, but what the women have come out today to say is that we want swift effort that has results.  And the only results that we know is a swift search and rescue operation and we want to see our daughters come back alive," said Ezekwesili.
