The international media will take virtually no notice of this. It doesn’t fit their accepted narrative, which is that Muslims are always and everywhere victims, never perpetrators of any crimes.
“Plateau Killings: Orphanage Home Burnt, 156 Children Displaced,” Nigerian Tribune, August 4, 2021:
No fewer than 156 children have been displaced and also an orphanage home worth N200 million was burnt in troubled Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State by Fulani militias.
Plateau State Coordinator of the Association of Orphanage and Home Operators in Nigeria (ASOHON), Daniel Asama who disclosed this at the premises of Binta Orphanage Home in Jebbu-Miango Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State where facilities worth over N200million was razed down by suspected armed herdsmen strongly condemned the insecurity in the country and charged the government to give ugly trend deserved attention.
He narrated that he got a distress call three days ago from the coordinator of the Orphanage, Joshua Choji Dickson intimating him of the security situation in the community adding that the Coordinator of the Home took a wise decision by evacuating the children before militias stormed the orphanage home.
“And I am telling you that no sooner had these children were evacuated than the assailants came, attacked and razed down the Orphanage as you can see.”
“We thank God that no life was lost in this Orphanage home except those we lost in the community. However, the property destroyed is worth over N200million. And if consider the situation, you would agree with me that we are in a predicament.
“We actually need assistance. We are in pain and in a precarious situation. Can you imagine having 156 children and they have to eat every other day, they have to sleep in a place and we have to ensure they are warm and comfortable? It’s not a situation you would want to imagine. As I talk to you, I don’t even know how we would cope up tonight….

All of which, per this article, It would have been far better for African Christians, and by extension for the cause of freedom in general, if Biafra (1967-1970) had survived.
A strong, militarily-able, Christian majority population and overall free Biafra, if still around, could have served as the “Israel” of West Africa, if not all of Africa.
A great opportunity lost back in the late 1960’s.
N.B., many great opportunities were lost in the 1960’s and the West at large is still “living” with these many losses some sixty years later. Put another way, if one despises Islam, it must follow, per Shakespeare, as the night the day that one canst not then loathe what the 1960’s inflicted on the greatest civilization of all time, i.e., Western Civilization. Those who don’t realize this are either too ignorant or too stupid or too evil to grasp any of this.

Yes–I wish there was a free Biafra. Christians are not safe in Nigeria.

I agree . By the same corollary if Russia was ruling Afghanisthan ,we would not have had the same situation there we are having today .

peter, Afghanistan is virtually 100% Muslim. They would not have embraced communism any more than they did democracy.
Peter says
May be true . But what is happening now is that the majority of muslims in Afghanistan do not whole heartedly support Taliban . They are scared of Taliban and what they will do to them,their family and their women if they oppose them ! They are living in constant fear pretty much the same way a lot of Iranians are living . It is the oppression of worst kind akin to Nazis in Germany . There must be someway of helping these people out because my feeling is given enough support ,the people of Afghanistan will stand up to Taliban and fight against their atrocities on humanity at large.

I don’t see many Afghans standing up to the Taliban.
And as far as their actually opposing what the Taliban stands for–Islam–this is even less likely. Afghanistan–not the Taliban, mind you–put *stoning* back on the books. Not a lot of protest…

As long as a member of the cattle herder (Fulani) that are members of the pernicious cult of the pedophilic mass murdering monster is president, Christians and any non cult members are in peril. Buhari is complicit in the murders of so many, especially in Plateau State and should be placed on trial for crimes against humanity. I know that I am only dreaming as the UN is too busy trying to convict Israel for attempting to survive.
