Jihadist Genocide Of Nigerian Christians Claims Another Hundred Lives — Will Anyone Notice?
Of course, political organizers can't make hay out of Jihidis killing Christians... so probably not
This slaughter is but the latest in a long line of murders happening in parts of Nigeria where a local jihadist militia kills local Christian farmers with impunity, attacking whole villages, and slaughtering many of them.
The farmers have no means to protect themselves. They are sitting ducks, being prohibited by law to own a rifle, which, somehow does not prevent the local jihadis from getting their hands on them.
Here’s a video describing a fairly recent attack, and the fearsome conditions under which the local Christian farmers have been living.
That predates the more recent news story that underscored just how bad it is getting:
In yet another brutal assault marking the ongoing Christian genocide in Africa’s Middle Belt, armed Fulani Islamic militants stormed the village of Yelewata in Nigeria’s central Benue state over the weekend, killing at least 100 people. The attack began late on Friday and extended into the early hours of Saturday. According to Amnesty International, many families were locked inside their home s and burned alive as the assailants set entire households on fire. Dozens remain missing, and hundreds have been left injured without access to medical care.
Benue State lies in Nigeria’s volatile Middle Belt, where the predominantly Muslim North meets the largely Christian South, a longstanding flashpoint of unilateral attack by the foreign funded Islamist groups. Fulani herders, often driven by jihadist ideologies, have increasingly migrated southward in search of land and resources, clashing violently with settled Christian farming communities.
This massacre is the latest in a long series of systematic assaults by Fulani jihadists, Boko Haram, and ISWAP against Christian communities in central Nigeria.
This clip shows what it looks like as a village flees under the sound of an unbroken stream of gunfire.
TERRIFYING: Christians are being hunted like animals in Nigeria.
An Islamist group invaded a Christian village and started shooting everyone in sight.
They are killing Christians on Eid and offering them as human sacrifices.
The media remains silent.

This is malice of an unthinkable degree. Killing thousands. But will anyone care?
