A Nigerian civil society organization, International Society for Civil Liberties & Rule of Law, “estimates that about 620 Christians were killed and hundreds of homes, as well as churches, were damaged in Nigeria since the beginning of the year as attacks carried about by Fulani radicals and Islamic terrorists continue.”
The genocide against Christians in Africa and the Middle East is ongoing, leading to a fatigued declaration by Catholic leaders last October: “we are tired of burying our priests.”
The International Society for Civil Liberties & Rule of Law stated: “The atrocities against Christians have gone unchecked and risen to alarming apogee with the country’s security forces and concerned political actors looking the other way or colluding with the Jihadists.”
As far-fetched as this truthful statement may seem to Westerners, it is happening in the West also, albeit in a different way, as Muslim Brotherhood operatives work hand-in-hand with the political establishment. One of the tactics of sophisticated Western (stealth) jihadists is to work within the framework of given countries to subvert them.
The process of settlement is a “Civilization-Jihadist Process” with all the word means. The Ikhwan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.’
Ignoring Christian persecution further endangers those who have little understanding of the ideology which drives it.
“At least 620 Nigerian Christians killed so far in 2020 by Boko Haram, Fulani: NGO report,” by Samuel Smith, Christian Post, May 17, 2020:
A Nigerian civil society organization estimates that about 620 Christians were killed and hundreds of homes, as well as churches, were damaged in Nigeria since the beginning of the year as attacks carried about by Fulani radicals and Islamic terrorists continue.
The Anambra-based nongovernmental organization International Society for Civil Liberties & Rule of Law, headed by Christian Emeka Umeagbalasi, released a statement Thursday highlighting the impact of the atrocities committed by terrorists across Nigeria thus far in 2020.
The report, based on days of forensic research, warns that militant Fulani herdsmen roaming the country’s rural Middle Belt states and terrorists affiliated with Boko Haram and the Islamic State West Africa Province in Nigeria’s northeast region have “intensified their anti-Christian violence.”
The group reports the killing of “no fewer than 620 defenseless Christians and wanton burning or destruction of their centers of worship and learning” in 2020.
According to the statement, Fulani radicals are responsible for killing over 470 people in the first four-and-a-half months of 2020. The group reports that Fulani killed 140 Christians from the beginning of April until May 14.
Meanwhile, Boko Haram is believed to have killed 150 Christians since January.
“The atrocities against Christians have gone unchecked and risen to alarming apogee with the country’s security forces and concerned political actors looking the other way or colluding with the Jihadists,” the organization argues.
“Houses burnt or destroyed during the period are in their hundreds; likewise dozens of Christian worship and learning centers.”
Intersociety relies on what it deems to be credible local and foreign media reports, government accounts, reports from international rights groups and eyewitness accounts to compile its statistical reports and updates.
The organization reported in a March statement that at least 350 Christians were killed in January and February, with Fulani radical attacks in the Middle Belt of Nigeria accounting for 250 of the deaths and Boko Haram terrorists accounting for between 50 to 100 killings.
Additionally, the group reported at the time that between 11,500 and 12,000 Christians have been killed in Nigeria since June 2015. According to Intersociety, radical herdsmen accounted for the killing of over 7,400 Christians and Boko Haram groups accounted for 4,000 killings.
While conflicts between Fulani herdsmen and predominantly Christian farming communities in the farming-rich Middle Belt states have existed for decades, advocates warn that Fulani attacks in recent years have increased in severity as well as quantity.
Fulani radicals are often armed with firearms when conducting their overnight attacks on sleeping farming villages. As a result, many farming communities have been pushed off their lands.
Intersociety projects that by the end of 2020, no less than 32,000 Christians will have been killed across Nigeria by Boko Haram and Fulani radicals combined since 2009…..

Nigeria’s President is a Fulani muslim.

Grimly true. I don’t see him doing anything to stop this genocide.

And a firm supporter of Sharia and all that it entails.

… while the Global media was busy talking about Islamophobia and finding more and more ways to empower Muslims across the globe. This is the world we live in.
Dude says
And we keep bring them into Canada, as though we don’t have any idea about what is going on in the world, what has gone on for centuries, or what a burden we are inflicting on our children and generations to come.
Matt says
Were the dead Christians maintaining their mandated social distancing and wearing their masks? Yes? No wonder the mainstream media ignores this.
Dude says
And we are still bringing them into Canada, as though we don’t know what is happening in the world, what has happened in the past centuries, or what terror we are imposing on our children and all future generations. DUH
Jude Cross says
It’s particularly aggravating hearing of Muslim refugees finding their way to the West when their Christian victims are stranded.
How many Nigerian Christians have been accepted in the UK on account of the increasing persecution in northern Nigeria I wonder?
Maureen Chaloner says
These ignorant murderuus scumbags need wiping off the face of the earth. Our own UK government turns a blind eye to Muslim rape gangs and Muslim illegals being brought into our country. The Tories are Islamic appeasers I am afraid, and MPs supporting Islam ought to be hanged for TREASON.
MBR says
The number of Christians killed in Nigeria this year, 620.
As of today the virus has killed 192 people in Nigeria.
Imagine a death rate in your country right now – indeed in any country – with a death rate more than three times the number of Christians massacred by Muslims than killed by the virus.

Good point, MBR.

Nigeria: At least 620 Christians slaughtered by jihadists so far in 2020
…………………
Just horrifying–and actual numbers are probably much higher. And little of this is ever reported in the West.
Jude Cross says
Certainly much higher given the daily news emerging from that country. It’s tragic.
It’s a grand design to eliminate northern Nigerian Christians from their lands. Then they’ll move south.
Clifford Fodor says
Trump should send in US forces to eliminate this terrible Muslim enemy. If not Trump, then who? Who will help our fellow Christians in Nigeria?

WHY NO ONE IN THE MEDIA WILL STICK UP FOR THEM

Not a single church or Christian leader in India speaks even one word of this systemic pogrom of Christians i Africa.

Disturbing–and all too common.
