“The church leader regrets that these attacks are rarely reported on by the local media anymore. As a result, their people continue to suffer in silence, with minimal help from others.”
And not just the local media. The international media only cares about these kinds of incidents when the victims are Muslims.
“Boko Haram Attacks Christian Village, Destroys Church,” International Christian Concern, March 14, 2019:
03/14/2019 Washington, D.C. (International Christian Concern) – International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that earlier today, around 6:00 a.m., Boko Haram insurgents launched an attack on Ngurhlavu village of Lassa in Askira-Uba local council area of southern Borno State. Most of the villagers were able to flee into the bush, but the insurgents burned down six homes, destroyed the EYN Church (Church of the Brethren), killed one person, and abducted two sisters, Stella Ibrahim and Plungwa Ibrahim.
Recalling the attack, a senior executive of the EYN Church, who wished to remain anonymous, said that their local pastor called around 6:00 a.m. to report the attack. He shared, “I could hear desperation in his voice, just coming out of the bush. His voice sounded completely demoralized as he was saying only God… We don’t know what else to do! There’s no security presence here.” The insurgents dropped a concealed improvised explosive device which a church member named Avi Lassa stepped on. Avi was killed on the spot….
The leader said that members of the EYN Church in the village of Gwandang were attacked on February 2, 2019. This was shortly followed by another set of attacks in the village of Paya-Bulguma on February 7 and 21, during which 26 houses were burned down, large quantities of food supplies were destroyed, and motorbikes and other valuables were stolen or destroyed. A seven-year-old boy was also abducted and has not been heard from since.
The church leader regrets that these attacks are rarely reported on by the local media anymore. As a result, their people continue to suffer in silence, with minimal help from others.

And did these terrorists also grab little girls to take as future bombers?
Where are the voices of those who are outraged over what happened in NZ? Do none of them have at least a tear or two for those murdered by moslims?

President Trumps fault?
Paul J says
Why because he’s a Christian?
Paul J says
This non reporting was before he got in the White House.
Dreamer says
I do not think we can blame Trump for this.. It has been going on since 911 or before.

Smug, narcissistic, egomaniacal GANGSTERS !!!
Paul J says
Still waitin for the “Hug a Christian” call to go out like the “Hug a Muslim” rally cry when one of them has a “mental breakdown”.
Dreamer says
Sorry to say but I think we will have to wait a long time for that. I just cannot understand why after 911 and all the other Muslim attacks people still dont get it..
Spiro says
Why do these Muslim terrorist cover their head and face if their doing the will of Allah
Why are they afraid of being caught
Or identified .

It appears that in 2016, the US Govt gave Nigeria $714 mil. in aid.
That’s about $2 million a day.
You don’t need to be a “skilled negotiator” to leverage that against the corrupt and criminal Islamic Nigerian Govt. to stop this slow-motion genocide of Christians, Mr Trump, Pompeo, Bolton?
