This has been going on for years. The world yawns. After all, it isn’t as if this involved something really important, such as “Islamophobia.”
“Fulani Herdsmen Kill 36 Christians in Kaduna State, Nigeria,” Morning Star News, August 30, 2021:
JOS, Nigeria (Morning Star News) – Fulani herdsmen killed 36 Christians in multiple attacks in Kaduna state, Nigeria this month with impunity, while a church leader complained that authorities arrested only Christians for defending themselves.
The attacks from Aug. 4 to Saturday (Aug. 28) on Zangon Kataf, Kaura and Chikun counties took the lives of 17 Christians in Doh (Mado) village, five in Madamai, eight in Buruku and Udawa, three in Machun and three in Goran Gida, residents said.
The attack on Machun village, Zangon Kataf County, on Thursday (Aug. 26) took place at 7 p.m., said area resident Judith David in a text message to Morning Star News.
“Fulani herdsmen have killed three of our Christians, and five other Christians were also injured,” she said. “It rained at the time the herdsmen invaded our village. We all had already gone to houses to sleep when the herdsmen attacked the village, forcing us to flee into the bush in the rain.”
Samuel Aruwan, Kaduna state commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, confirmed the killings in a press statement.
“Police personnel responded to a distress call from Machun village and mobilized there,” he said. “On arrival, they were also alerted by gunshots from neighboring Manuka. As the assailants fled the area, the operatives found the corpses of three victims.”
The Rev. Jacob Kwashi, Anglican bishop of Zonkwa Diocese, and residents of the affected communities said the assailants were Muslim Fulani herdsmen.
In Doh (Mado) village, Zangon Kataf county on Aug. 22, sources reported 17 Christians were killed.
“My hometown of Doh (Mado) is under attack from Fulani herdsmen,” village resident Patience Bilyock said a text message to Morning Star News. “O God, arise and fight for your children.”
Kwashi, while conducting a funeral service for the 17 Christians killed in the village, said the government was doing nothing as killings continued each day in Middle Belt states.
“We have never seen an evil government in this country like the one of today. The government is fully in support of the bloodshed in Nigeria. We are being killed just because we are not Muslims,” Kwashi said. “These evil Fulani jihadists are enjoying the backing of the government to go about killing people, destroying their houses and farmlands, yet when we try to defend ourselves, the government will go about arresting our people. What kind of justice is this?”…
The APPG report noted that tribal loyalties cannot be overlooked.
“In 2015, Muhammadu Buhari, a Fulani, was elected president of Nigeria,” the group reported. “He has done virtually nothing to address the behavior of his fellow tribesmen in the Middle Belt and in the south of the country.”
The U.S. State Department on Dec. 7 added Nigeria to its list of Countries of Particular Concern for engaging in or tolerating “systematic, ongoing, egregious violations of religious freedom.” Nigeria joined Burma, China, Eritrea, Iran, North Korea, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan on the list.
In a more recent category of non-state actors, the State Department also designated ISWAP, Boko Haram, Al-Shabaab, Al-Qaeda, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the Houthis, ISIS, ISIS-Greater Sahara, Jamaat Nasr al-Islam wal Muslimin, and the Taliban as “Entities of Particular Concern.”
On Dec. 10 the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Fatou Bensouda, issued a statement calling for investigation into crimes against humanity in Nigeria.

The entire Ummah seems to in one mind afar as the slaying goes, not a word against that as “global police” POTUS has shut his eyes, ears and brains(if he has any) by betraying all including his won in Afghanistan.
This is the opportune time to slaughter many more infidels.
Infidelophia is so rampant that islam is having a field day, what else need it ask? Poor Nigerians are going through hell in their country.

Reply to Raja: the current figurehead president may have private opinions, but his handlers want him to express THEIR globalist opinions. The plight of African Christians persecuted and murdered by Islamists is NOT convenient to the Western global-fascists, so they pretend it doesn’t exist.
Raja says
Mortimer,
From what I understand, the global-fascists, including Leftists don’t care about any deaths or “humiliations”. Their goal is seat of power, the “clothes” can be changed after coming to power, rest is history.
mortimer says
About 2,000 Christians are now murdered by Muslims in Nigeria every year. If the reverse were true, the globalist-leftist ‘narrative’ would be different. But black African Christians have no PROPAGANDA VALUE for the shallow Western Left which only concerns itself with acquiring political power.
They pose as having a moral conscience, but, in fact, Western Leftists have no value they will not abandon or ignore if impedes their goose-steps to unopposable, one-party rule.
Raja says
Mortimer,
Agreed. The black Africans living in Africa have no Propaganda value for the Left in West. Such an evil Left !

Grimly true, Mortimer.
Shirley Ann says
Each & everytime, whether it’s in Nigeria, Europe or North America, the Authorities are sympathetic to the Muslim Point of View. Muslims ARE PROTECTED BY THE GLOBALIZED POLICE.
And The USA has just permitted the Savage Afghani Muslims to invade America, with special Food, Special Accommodations & Special Financial Benefits.
Keep your ears &eyes OPEN, because the Biden Administration has made this INVASION POSSIBLE. Biden sees only GOOD MUSLIMS & no one must never cross this Mad Man! My View!
TruthWFree says
The bottom line of these killings is all supported in Islam in the Quran which Muslims believe is their allah god’s word. People should understand this could happen here in the US and is happening in Europe if the Muslims take over the government. Sura 9-5, “slay the pagans with every stratagem of war”…(airplanes flying into buildings on 9/11/2001) and Sura 9-29, “Fight People of the Book until they are subjugated” (Book is Bible, Christians and Jews)
TruthWFree says
Biden said he would put Muslims at all levels of his administration.

Nigeria: Muslims murder 36 Christians, authorities arrest only Christians for defending themselves
…………….
*Sickening*. Nigeria keeps getting worse, and few in the west have noticed.
OLD GUY says
This is what you get when you allow islam to migrate into your country, murder and violence. The larger the number of muslim/islamic migrants in a country the bolder their attacks become. Its happening all around the world where muslims and islam invades.
