“The people are feeling so sad and disappointed because the government has a constitutional obligation to protect the life of all citizens. The people are left to their fate. They are not allowed to acquire arms to defend themselves, and the government fails in its constitutional duty to protect the people. There is now perpetual fear in the minds of the people. They are armless citizens.”
Beto O’Rourke could be taking notes.
“Nigerian Christians ‘left to their fate’ with no defense from Fulani attacks, victims’ advocate says,” by Jackson Elliott, Christian Post, December 6, 2020:
Three Nigerian Christians were murdered Tuesday while fending off an armed attack by suspected Fulani militants who are also believed to have kidnapped a woman.
A peaceful night turned violent when armed extremists, believed to be affiliated with a Fulani tribe, fired their guns at the Christian village of Gura-Pwana, south of the Nigerian city of Jos, said Swanta Kumai in an interview with the Emancipation Center for Crisis Victims in Nigeria.
The gunfire woke his 28-year-old son, Joseph Swanta, from his sleep. Together, they rushed from their home without weapons in an attempt to frighten the attackers away and warn neighbors. They split up when his son ran to warn neighbors to shut off their loud power generator.
“Unbeknown to him, the attackers had already spotted his movement. When coming out, they went after him with heavy fire and shot him dead,” Kumai said. “The invaders grouped themselves into four, strategically positioned so that no one can dare them. That’s how I saw them shooting at me from a very close range, but I [managed to] escape with bruises [from crawling away.]”
Joseph Swanta served in an unarmed vigilante group that tried to protect Christians from Fulani attacks, ECCVN coordinator Dalyop Solomon told The Christian Post. After the attack, Solomon investigated the aftermath at the village to report what happened.
Nigeria’s laws forbid gun ownership and the police often fail to help Christian villages, so Christians often attempt to defend themselves by trying to intimidate away armed men, he said.
“They hope to rush to the scene of the incident and by storm create an impression that people are not psychologically threatened,” Solomon said. “You can see how suicidal that is.”
Swanta tried to stop the attack along with two other unarmed men, Solomon said. Davou Mwanti, at 59 years old, and Dalyop Davou, a 70 year old. The attackers shot and killed all three.
“[Dalyop Davou] was a watchman killed at his duty post,” his 62-year-old wife, Shetu Davou, told ECCVN. “We had always depended on him for every material need from his earnings. But he is no more today, leaving us to fend for ourselves. I don’t know what to do now.”
Fulani tribesmen killed Davou’s son in a previous attack in 2011. This year, Islamist militias in Nigeria murdered an estimated 1,202 Christians within the first six months of the year. These murders amount to genocide, according to Jubilee Campaign USA, which submitted data and research to the International Criminal Court last year, arguing that the standard for genocide has been reached when it comes to violence against Christians in that country.
“There are reasons behind the government not allowing people to acquire weapons,” said Solomon. “Instead of going in to disarm the Fulanis, they will go after the victims. [Among] the Fulani who in broad daylight threaten individuals, we’ve not heard of any arrests. People will be arrested at the scene of the incident, transferred away and released. That’s encouragement of murder [by the government.]”
Nigeria’s government threatens those who report on the Fulani attacks, according to Solomon, who told CP that police have summoned him several times to ask that he change his reports of Fulani attacks.
During the Dec. 1 attack, the suspects fled after police arrived and returned fire, Solomon said. Photos taken by Solomon show the bodies of two men killed in the attack, lying in the back of a truck, bloodstained beneath morning sunbeams.
“The people are feeling so sad and disappointed because the government has a constitutional obligation to protect the life of all citizens,” Solomon stressed. “The people are left to their fate. They are not allowed to acquire arms to defend themselves, and the government fails in its constitutional duty to protect the people. There is now perpetual fear in the minds of the people. They are armless citizens.”…
Boko Haram terrorists and Fulani militants work together and execute the same sorts of attacks, Solomon said. They attack at the same time in different places to overstretch responders. Nigeria’s government encourages both groups to attack Christians by its indecisiveness….

Nigeria: Muslims murder three Christians who were trying to protect their village from jihad massacre
……………..
These *brave Christians*, trying to protect their neighbors.
And, as noted, Nigerian authorities do nothing to protect these people. But with a Muslim in charge, why would they?
President Trump at least put this issue on the table–will Biden? I very much doubt it.
A7E.Pilgrim says
All I can suggest to the defenseless Nigerians is to take their counsel from history of the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto in WWII. They managed to acquire weapons and stage an uprising that stunned the Germans.
Clifford Fodor says
I can suggest a lot more. We should covertly arm the Christians so that that can protect themselves.
A7E.Pilgrim says
The problem is import-export laws that make it near impossible to send arms to persecuted persons abroad.
Eur says
And with such overpopulation Nigerians are migrating in masse to Europe. Among the tens of thousands who flee Nigeria, the majority are Muslims and they carry that damned ideology of conquest with them.

This is mostly an invasion–it is not about overpopulation. Many Muslims flooding into Europe are not from places that are overpopuated.
LB says
The Third World in general (nothing to do with islam) IS overpopulated. With the advancement of technology in agriculture and medicine, the population of the Third World (I’m mainly talking about Africa and South Asia) alone skyrocketed by several billion in just 100 years or so, whereas developed (white) Western nations were always either flat-lined or (most recently) in decline.
I hate to make this analogy, but it’s true: Over the course of their evolution, rabbits have developed a massive sex drive as the only means of survival, because out of several dozens of offsprings, at least a few are bound to survive and pass on their parents’ genes. Same case for Third World — Africa has historically had the highest death rate and the lowest life expectancy, but with birth rates through the roof, Africa has managed to sustain itself just fine. However, with life expectancy being massively on the rise thanks to Western technology, the population in Africa EXPLODED in the past century alone!
If you take a look at the stats, you will see that top 10 countries with highest birth rates are ALL African countries. Conversely, the top 10 countries with lowest birth rates are ALL developed Western countries, while the countries with the highest death rates are ALL Eastern European (99% white) countries. Interestingly, the countries with the lowest death rates are ALL Middle Eastern muslim countries.

In 1920 C.E., Koranimals numbered around 240 million (i.e., around 14% of the global human population, back then).
By contrast, Koranimals, as of today, are at least 2 billion, i.e., around 30% of humans.

This is true–but most Muslims coming here are coming as invaders, not just because there own lands are overpopulated.
And this is a relative term, in any case–the density of the Netherlands is about that of Bangladesh–but who has the higher standard of living?
LB says
Graven, I never alluded to the fact that muslims (and other Third Worlders) are invading the West BECAUSE of overpopulation. I merely pointed out that there IS indeed an overpopulation problem, mainly in Africa and South/Central Asia. You cannot ignore this fact and it is quickly becoming as much of a problem as the islamic conquest motivation. Where will all those people go? Who will feed them all? These are serious questions that will require our immediate attention in a few decades, but it’s best to start thinking of the answer now before it happens.
Also for the record, Bangladesh is 3 times larger in size than Netherlands, which makes it 3 time more populous if they share the same density. And that’s without factoring in the more than double birth rates of Bangladesh compared to the Netherlands. The standard of living (not just in those two countries, but all over the world) seems to be reversely proportional to birth rates: the higher the standard, the lower the birth rates and vice versa. Japan is a perfect example of this — once (hundred years or so ago) they were the absolute highest, surpassing that of China and India, but with Japan becoming top 5 leading world’s economic force in less than a century, it now has some of the LOWEST birthrates in the world. Kind of makes you think, doesn’t it?

LB, my point was that the Dutch are not inundating the rest of the world because of population density in the Netherlands. A dense population is only one factor as to whether the people there are thriving or not.
And some places *have* gotten better–when I was a child India was largely considered a hopeless basket-case, with constant famines and endemic hunger. But now with better farming methods, a rejection of Socialism, and better education and use of technology, things are much better there.
And–unsurprisingly–the birth rate has also significantly dropped in India over the past half century.
And no–the West is already very giving in charity, aid, and technology–we should not also have to allow hordes of people into our civiized nations.

Grimly true, Carol. Muslims are definitely outbreeding us. All the more reason to keep them out of the West.

Mr. Raymond Ibrahim reported on ill omar telling Christians to “turn the other cheek” and feel love for their persecutors, murderers, as if she has a clue as to Christian teaching. this is moslim jihad on her part; disarming those who don’t know any better than to listen to a fraud and a liar.
The government of nigeria is no government. A government “governs.” and what these slime are allowing…and helping…to happen is criminal conspiracy of the worst kind.
Preventing a peaceful, hard-working, people from protecting themselves under threat of punishment, while enabling the murderous moslims , who are.
sanctioned and given permissions to kill all whom they wish is demonic. islam is from satan the devil and he is using it to murder those who attempt to serve Christ.
More and more, those in authority are taking weapons of self-defense away from those who would only protect themselves when threatened, and giving them freely to the ones who are violent and wish to murder the innocent who disagree with them.

Yes–Muslims are always telling Christians that if they are “real” Christians that they bare their throats and the throats of their loved ones to the Islamic blade. Just appalling.
Oren says
According to the democrats, which Biden represents, the lives of an Israeli do not count for anything more than the life of A Nigerian Christian. Remember that, when you are told that Israel’s security matters according to the democrats, the republicans or the Europeans. In G-d I trust.

newsupplements says
This is what happens when the government lies about the true threat of Islam and instead allows millions of murderous Islamic’s to live in the populous whilst insisting that no one shall break the law by defending themselves with violence. This is the extent of the ignorance of those who are in positions to rule over us, they refuse to see the death cult for what it is making themselves accomplices to an Islamic takeover of their own countries where they will lose their heads (literally) as reward in any case simply that they are not Muslims! or surrender their positions and let an Islamic take it, for that they would have to be lucky to be spared their own lives. Denial and cries of “it is others who misrepresent a great religion” will not cut it, not in the end. Even worse that they make laws to strengthen political Islam itself!
Christopher Watson says
Farming developed in the Levant and later in Africa about 10,000 years ago. The prehistoric hunter/gatherers gradually took up farming in order to have permanent homes. According to many historians the Fulani people will gradually run out of food since they won’t have access to cereals, fruit and domestic animals supplied by the southern farmers. The Nigerian government appears to be planning it’s own demise.

Muslims just steal what others have. There is an entire Sura of the Qur’an titled “Booty”.
