## Transcript

They're the same age. Let's just be friends, and let's talk to each other. Mere teenagers but all of experienced horror beyond their years. Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani schoolgirl who survived an attack by the Taliban, has come to Nigeria on her 17th birthday to listen. You speak what you want and speak from the core of your heart. And I want to send your message to the President. And to lend her voice to he nearly 300 kidnapped [ UNKNOWN ] school girls, more than 200 of which are still missing. Kawna Bitrus and Hauwa John escaped just in time; together they jumped from the back of the truck as [ UNKNOWN ] tried to take them away.

But the night they were taken from their dormitory still haunts them. [ FOREIGN ]. We wake up screaming in the night, Bitrus says. I keep having nightmares about my friends, John tells us. I have dreams I'm playing with them, and then I wake up and realize they're still in captivity. [ FOREIGN ]. Malala also met with parents of some of the missing girls. Because I consider those girls as my sisters, they are my sisters, and I'm going to speak up for them until they are released. For three months, they've called for the safe return of their daughters. Now they hope it's the voice of a teenager that will make a difference.

Isha Sesay, CNN, Abuja, Nigeria.
