Nigeria: Government to give cattle ranch to Fulani herdsmen

on site where Fulani jihadis murdered 40 people in 2016

Jihadis kill, jihadis get rewarded. Somehow the whole world has decided that appeasement is the soundest policy to follow regarding jihadis. And so Hamas murders 1,200 Israelis and the West responds by renewing efforts to create a “Palestinian” state. The Fulani murder 40 people and get a cattle ranch.

Enugu Community Protests Government’s Plan To Establish Cattle Ranch For Herders, Nearly 8 Years After Massacre By Militia

Sahara Reporters, February 9, 2024:

Hundreds of Nimbo community residents in the Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State have staged a peaceful protest against the state government’s plan to establish a cattle ranch for herdsmen in their community.

Among the protesters were people widowed or orphaned by the killing of 40 residents of the community by gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen on April 26, 2016, during the government of former President Muhammadu Buhari.

SaharaReporters gathered that the community held the protest on Tuesday along the Nsukka – Uzo-Uwani – Anambra Federal Highway….

A resident of the community told SaharaReporters on Friday that protests in Nimbo followed an alleged plan by the state government to establish a ranch where the town shares a border with Kogi State.

“The plan followed a government inspection team to the area, nearly eight years after the April 25, 2016 Nimbo Massacre, during which armed Fulani herders murdered 40 indigenes of our town.

“The incident followed farmer-herder clashes in the general area where the RUGA (Rural Grazing Areas) settlement is allegedly being planned to be sited.”

RUGA is an initiative of former President Muhammadu Buhari’s government to address the herders-farmers’ clashes in the country but it was rejected in most of the southern states….

Meanwhile, the state government has confirmed that it is establishing a ranch in the community. It said it would manage ranching as a measure to solve permanently the farmers-herders clashes in the state.

A senior government official told SaharaReporters that the ranching is going to be fully controlled by the government.

Nothing in Nigeria is ever fully controlled by the government except maybe corruption.

 

Nigeria: Muslims hijack bus, kill the driver,

kidnap all the passengers but little girl

FEB 13, 2024 11:30 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER

My contact in Nigeria informs me that the perpetrators in this case were once again Fulani jihadis.

“As for the captives, the amir [ruler] has the choice of taking the most beneficial action of four possibilities: the first to put them to death by cutting their necks; the second, to enslave them and apply the laws of slavery regarding their sale and manumission; the third, to ransom them in exchange for goods or prisoners; and fourth, to show favor to them and pardon them. Allah, may he be exalted, says, ‘When you encounter those [infidels] who deny [the Truth=Islam] then strike [their] necks’ (Qur’an sura 47, verse 4)” — Al-Mawardi, al-Ahkam as-Sultaniyyah (The Laws of Islamic Governance).

Gunmen Kill Bus Driver, Kidnap All Passengers Coming

To South-East From Lagos, Abandon Little Girl

Sahara Reporters, February 10, 2024:

Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have reportedly hijacked GUO motors coming to the South-East from Lagos State, South West Nigeria and abducted all passengers.

The kidnappers reportedly killed the driver of the bus and left a little girl behind after kidnapping her parents alongside other passengers.

Although SaharaReporters could not ascertain the exact location of the incident that was said to have happened on Friday, voices in a video of the incident shared by Senator Ned Nwoko on his X (formerly Twitter) said that the vehicle was coming from Lagos.

In the video seen by SaharaReporters on Saturday, a voice said “This bus is coming from Lagos. We stopped together at Akure and ate.”

Meanwhile, the Senator has decried the attack, noting that this was one of the reasons for the law on self-defence which he is sponsoring at the National Assembly.

Senator Nwoko, who expressed dismay over the handling of the kidnapping menace by the security agencies, said that perhaps if the driver had a gun or any of the passengers, the kidnappers wouldn’t certainly have their way.

The attack has attracted angry reactions from Nigerians who also shared the same belief that if this is law on self-defence and residents can carry arms, the kidnapping monster would certainly be teamed [sic] (tamed?)….

 

 

Malawi: Muslims claim Islam is under threat,

burn church and pastor’s house, beat Christians

FEB 14, 2024 1:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER

The Muslims believe that Islam is under threat, so they attack the Christians. The reality is obvious: Christianity is under threat, not Islam.

Muslims burn church, pastor’s house, beat Christians in Machinga:

Says Islam under threat (*SR)

Nyasa Times, February 10, 2024:

Officials from Evangelical Association of Malawi (EAM) and Muslims Association of Malawi (MAM) are in crisis talks after muslims in Machinga went on rampage on Friday, burning to ashes a church and a house of a church minister.

The muslims claim Islam is under threat after Living Waters Church converted a number of muslims to Christianity and joined the church.

According to Living Waters Church acting general secretary Bishop S. Kapanda, the muslims have burnt the church building at Nselema trading centre in Machinga along with the house of the church minister, Pastor Austin James.

Bishop Kapanda said muslims surrounded the house where Pastor James fled but police managed to rescue him on time and unharmed.

However, some church members were severely beaten up and undressed with their clothes be burnt….

This is how Islam competes with Christianity. They can't compete on a spiritual level or based on the truth. They can only react with violence.

*SR - As Robert Spencer says, the opposite is true. Another Satanic Reversal. 

Indian Government Forcing Children's Aide NGO Out

Compassion Has 'Very Little Hope' for India,

Sets Deadline to Shut Down Sponsorships

About 145,000 children have already lost its assistance

Compassion Has 'Very Little Hope' for India, Sets Deadline to Shut Down Sponsorships Compassion International

“We want to be honest with you, there is very little hope.”

So wrote Compassion International to its 130,000 sponsors of Indian children this past Friday.

One week after sharing the good news of four nations no longer needing child sponsors due to the passion of millennials, the ministry shared the bad news of another nation that will probably not need child sponsors due to government interference.

A little more than a year after the Indian government told Compassion that it could no longer receive funding from outside the subcontinent, the humanitarian organization will likely be closing its last operations there.

“Since we can no longer distribute funds to our field offices, we have just had to notify our India country staff that we must formally close our field offices in India by March 15,” Compassion told sponsors by email. “Should nothing change, that means an end to our sponsorship program in India in the next 60 days.”

Compassion, which has been working in India for more than 48 years, said it has tried everything in the last 10 months to stay afloat. The email listed its efforts, which include:

Seeking the advice of legal experts in both the US and India

Leveraging influential relationships, including US representatives and senators, the former US Secretary of State, the former and current ambassadors to India and the White House Office of Faith-based Affairs, as well as members of Parliament in the United Kingdom

Asking Compassion sponsors to pray and to write Congress (more than 35,000 letters were sent)

Testifying in front of the US House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee

Leveraging personal relationships within the US and India

Compassion’s 580 Indian-staffed development centers care for more than 145,000 children. That’s only about 8 percent of the 1.9 million children assisted by Compassion worldwide, but also more than any other of the 25 countries where it works.

The Indian government objects to Compassion’s Christianity, according to the ministry’s testimony to US lawmakers. Hindu nationalists have put increasing pressure on Christians in India since the election of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2014. The subcontinent has been steadily moving up Open Doors’ list of places where it’s hardest to be a Christian, from No. 28 in 2014 to No. 15 this year, the highest rank it has ever held.

Hostile acts against Christians

“An average of 40 incidents were reported per month, including pastors beaten, churches burned and Christians harassed,” stated Open Doors. “Of the 64 million Christians in India, approximately 39 million experience direct persecution.”

There doesn’t appear to be a government plan to pick up Compassion’s care for Indian children. More than 1 in 3 of India’s 1.2 billion people are children, yet India spends less on health and education than comparable emerging economies.

Of India’s roughly 472 million children, 33 million are child laborers, 80 million are out of school, and 97 million are undernourished, according to a recent petition asking Modi’s administration to spend more on children.

But while the government may not have a plan in place, that doesn’t mean the children will be abandoned entirely, said Compassion spokesperson Becca Bishop.

“[The children] may have lost Compassion’s support, but they haven’t lost the support of their local church,” she said. “Those churches, if they have the funds, may still be able to carry out a lot of the services.”

World Vision, which sponsors more than 245,000 children in India (about 6 percent of its global total), also partners with local churches, though not exclusively, spokesperson Amy Parodi told CT. So far, World Vision isn’t having problems getting foreign funding into the country, she said.

CT covered Compassion’s cash crunch in December, including how the Indian government squeezed off its foreign funding. With no way to pay for materials or staff, the organization began paring down programs last summer.

“Our staff in the India field offices have stretched every last penny beyond what we thought possible to extend the programs for our children, while we in parallel explored alternative delivery methods to provide funds, yet a solution has not been discovered within the needed timeframe,” stated Compassion’s email to donors.

The news comes on the heels of Compassion’s largest surge of sponsorships, when students attending the 2017 Passion Conference eliminated the list of children waiting for sponsors in four countries.
