This Week's Islamic Massacres > Fulani Herdsmen kill Christians, overrun villages; Jihadis massacre dozens of BF soldiers; 11 more Christians murdered; 2 Christians in critical shape in Uganda

 

Nigeria: Muslims murder four Christians, three of them in ‘gruesome ambush’


“For years, we have pleaded for help. How many more lives must be lost before the government takes meaningful action?”

Once again, we see the Nigerian government either unable or unwilling to stop the Islamic jihadis who are active all over the country.


Islamic Extremists Kill 4 Christians

International Christian Concern, March 27, 2025:

3/27/2025 Nigeria (International Christian Concern) — The peaceful Irigwe community in Bassa County, Plateau state, has been rocked by two devastating attacks in less than 24 hours, claiming the lives of four individuals.

This latest wave of brutality shows the ongoing insecurity faced by Christian farming communities, increasingly targeted by Fulani militias in the region.

On the evening of March 23, a gruesome ambush unfolded as three men made their way home from Kwall. The victims have been identified as John Avia, 48; Sunday Vickson, 32; and Peter Vickson, 30….

A local elder, who chose to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation, voiced the community’s anguish: “For years, we have pleaded for help,” he said. “How many more lives must be lost before the government takes meaningful action?”

The Nigerian government has very little interest in stopping the Islamic genocide of Christians. That has been obvious for many years now regardless of who is President.





Nigeria: Fulani jihadis overrun farm settlements, occupy homes and schools


“The dangerous thing is that the Fulani people are planning to come and take over the entire Eha-Amufu especially…”

And why do they want to do that? Because Islam must dominate and not be dominated, as Muslim Brotherhood founder Hassan al-Banna said, and the dar al-Islam must always expand at the expense of the dar al-harb. Although the fact is seldom reported, the Fulani are Islamic jihadis who are working to expand Islamic domains in West Africa and ultimately establish a Sharia state there.


Herdsmen Overrun Farm Settlements, Occupy Homes, Schools In Enugu’s Eha-Amufu Amid Government Silence

Sahara Reporters, March 31, 2025:

A devastating trail of destruction and displacement has been left in the wake of relentless attacks by assailants suspected to be herdsmen on farm settlements in Eha-Amufu, Isi-Uzo Local Government Area of Enugu State, for years.

No fewer than 44 farm settlements, known as ‘Ndiagu’, have been overrun, with residents forced to flee their homes and seek shelter in neighbouring communities. The affected communities include Abor Ishala, Mgbuji, Agu-Amede, Eha-Agu, and Umuhu.

The latest and most populated farm settlement to come under attack by marauding herdsmen was Ndiagu Amofia village in Umuhu Eha-Amufu autonomous community on February 28. Residents were forced to flee their homes and seek shelter in neighbouring communities.

In Abor, no fewer than nine farm settlements were overrun by the militias, who sacked the residents and took over their homes with their families….

According to SaharaReporters’ investigation, the attacks on the communities, which share boundaries with communities in Benue State, started in 2002. However, the vicious attacks and land-grabbing intensified in 2020 during President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration….

If you follow that vast portion of land, you will arrive in Benue State. So we only have a boundary with Benue State. I don’t know the reason why the Fulani people have refused to go. Instead of leaving that area, they invite more people to come,” he said….

“The dangerous thing is that the Fulani people are planning to come and take over the entire Eha-Amufu especially – Agu-made, Eha-Ohala comprising Abor Ishala and Mgbuji autonomous communities, Eha-Agu and some parts of Umuhu autonomous communities,” she said, adding that the implications will be dire. “As I am talking to you now, Abor people are on the run, and Umujoovu have started running their own too; likewise, Mgbuji, the entire Eha-Amufu is gone.”



Burkina Faso: Jihadis murder several dozen soldiers, set fire to shops and homes


And here yet again, the military of the country seems powerless to stop the jihadis.

Suspected Jihadist Attack Kills ‘Several Dozen’ Soldiers in Burkina

Defense Post, March 30, 2025 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

“Several dozen” soldiers and civilian auxiliaries have been killed in a suspected jihadist attack in eastern Burkina Faso, local and security sources told AFP on Sunday.

Since 2015 Burkina Faso has been plagued by jihadist violence from groups linked to the Islamic State group or Al-Qaeda.

In the latest attack, a security source in Tapoa province said an army detachment from the main city of Diapaga was targeted in a “violent attack” on Friday.

The victims were regular army soldiers and civilian volunteers, and there were “many wounded,” the source added.

A separate security source confirmed the attack to AFP, adding that “several terrorists were neutralised in the retaliation” and that the army had launched a sweep of the area.

According to a hospital source in the eastern city of Fada N’Gourma, “around 30 wounded, all from the security forces, were evacuated yesterday (Saturday)” to the hospital center in the region.

“While the detachment was under attack, the town was also targeted by terrorists who set fire to shops and homes,” said one resident in Diapaga.

“The day after the attack, gunfire was also heard around the town.”…

Jihadist violence has caused more than 26,000 deaths in that time, according to conflict monitor ACLED, while more than two million Burkinabe people have been displaced.










 



Nigeria: Muslims murder eleven Christians in nighttime jihad raid on farming community


Why don’t authorities do anything to stop these constant jihad attacks? They’re either powerless to do so or do not wish to do so. There is no other alternative.


Suspect Fulani Militants Kill 11 in Brutal Assault on Christian Farming Community

International Christian Concern, April 1, 2025:

4/1/2025 Nigeria (International Christian Concern) Suspected Fulani militants killed 11 Christians during a nighttime raid on the Christian farming community of Ruwi B2 village in Bokkos County, Nigeria, on March 27.

This tragic incident is a part of the ongoing challenges of insecurity in Plateau State, particularly for vulnerable rural Christian communities. Among the deceased were a pregnant woman, her husband, and a 10-year-old girl, prompting an urgent call for action to address these pressing safety concerns.

Survivors described the harrowing experience as gunmen, believed to be associated with Fulani militants, attacked without warning while mourners gathered to pay their respects to an 87-year-old community elder. The attack unfolded over 45 minutes, leaving the community in shock and mourning.

Tajot Stephen Alexander, a Ruwi resident, shared the tragedy’s impact, expressing the widespread fear gripping the village. “In the late evening, armed militants surprised us with their assault. We lost 11 valued lives, including a pregnant woman,” Alexander told ICC.

The residents of Ruwi are now living with a heightened sense of insecurity. They urgently demand not just verbal assurances from authorities, but tangible protection measures….




Uganda: Two Christians in critical condition after Muslims beat and stab them during open-air evangelistic effort


If the roles were reversed, which they would not be and should not be, this would be massive international news. As it is, nothing. This is likely the only time you’ll see it.


Christian Couple, Woman They Led to Christ Poisoned to Death

Morning Star News, March 28, 2025:

…In Iganga town, Iganga District also in eastern Uganda, two Christians were in critical condition after hardline Muslims beat and stabbed them during an open-air evangelistic effort, one of the evangelists said.

Ephraim Idube, 32, and Tefiiro Mwanani, 40, left Buseesa town to preach the gospel to Muslims in Iganga on March 14. After setting up small portable speakers, they proclaimed the gospel, saying Christ is the Son of God, that He alone will lead people to heaven and that Muhammad was merely a prophet “from nowhere,” said Mwanani.

“Muslims came in a big number and started shouting while asking us questions why we were making noise and deeming their prophet to a lower position in their holy month of Ramadan,” Mwanani told Morning Star News.

Before they could reply, one of the Muslims grabbed their portable speaker, plucked out wiring and hit it with a hammer while others beat them, he said.

“One identified as Bruhan Isabirye went and picked up a panga [long Somali sword] in a nearby butcher shop and started cutting us,” Mwanani said. “Many people including Christians came to rescue us, picked the panga from his hand. Though it was a bit late, we had bled too much, but we thank God that immediate help came and we were rushed to the hospital.”

Having sustained deep wounds, they were in critical condition at Iganga Hospital, said a Morning Star News contact who visited them….
