There is no effort to convert Christians to Islam, except the little girls they kidnap. In Africa, jihadists simply murder anyone who is not sympathetic to their cause. Western media largely ignores the genocide.
Nigeria: Amnesty International says jihadis killed
1,336 people in Plateau state between
December and February
Amnesty International, of course, didn’t identify the perpetrators. But there is no doubt as to who they are.
Christians, Others Increasingly Targeted in Plateau State, Nigeria
Morning Star News, May 14, 2024:
ABUJA, Nigeria (Christian Daily International–Morning Star News) – Following a rights group report that 1,336 people were killed in Plateau state, Nigeria between December and February, residents reported 18 Christians killed since mid-April.
In Plateau state’s Kayarda village, near Namu in Qua’an Pan County, Fulani herdsmen killed four Christian farmers on May 7, council official Christopher Audu Manship told Christian Daily International-Morning Star News.
On the same day in Bassa County, herdsmen ambushed and hacked to death a Christian in Kwal village as he was working on his farm, said area resident Ezekiel Bini.
“The Christian farmer’s wife and children were killed by herdsmen in 2021 during an attack on the Kwal community, a predominantly Christian community,” Bini told Christian Daily International-Morning Star News.
In Bokkos County also on May 7, Joshua Gonshak, a lecturer at Plateau State University, was kidnapped from his home in Bokkos town, said resident Christy Musa. The abduction followed an attack on Ngoksar village, Bokkos County on May 1 in which “Fulani terrorists” attacked eight Christians, killing two of them, she said.
“On the 13th of April, an attack on Natinnhut village was carried out by herdsmen, where three Christians were killed,” Musa added. “And on the 12th of April, there was an attack on Mandung village by herdsmen which resulted in the deaths of eight Christians.”
Area resident Sylvanus Malau told Morning Star News in a text message that Bokkos County has come under sustained herdsmen attacks without provocation.
“Our people aren’t game to be hunted and killed in this beastly manner, in a society governed by laws – something has to be done,” Malau said. “The government of Nigeria and security agencies, and every other legitimately recognized entity, must come to our aid.”…
An Amnesty International representative on Thursday (May 9) reported that 1,336 people were killed in Plateau state between December and February. Isa Sanusi, Amnesty’s country director in Nigeria, said in a statement that the casualties were registered in Mangu, Bokkos and Barkin-Ladi counties.
“Weeks after the deadly Christmas Eve attacks on Barkin-Ladi, Bokkos and Mangu, our research team visited some of the affected areas,” Sanusi said, reporting that the deaths from December to February included 533 women, 263 children and 540 men.
The violence displaced 29,554 people from their homes, including 13,093 children and 16,461 women, he said….
