“We feel terribly frustrated and abandoned by our government and the international community.”
Indeed. The Nigerian government is on the side of the jihadis, and the international community is too bamboozled by “Islamophobia” propaganda to dare to take notice.
“Priest describes ‘horrifying’ new attack on Catholics in Nigeria that leaves at least 11 dead,” by Jude Atemanke, Catholic News Agency, January 20, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
At least 11 people, most of them Catholics, were killed Jan. 19 when alleged Fulani herdsmen attacked a village near a refugee camp in Nigeria’s Makurdi Diocese, a diocesan official has reported.
In an interview with ACI Africa, CNA’s sister news partner, Father Moses Aondover Iorapuu, the diocese’s vicar general, recounted the “horrifying” persecution that Catholics were subjected to during the attack.
“The images of the attack are horrifying, and I keep saying that not even ISIS is capable of such brutality,” he said. “After killing, these guys decapitated some and took the parts away as proof to whoever is the sponsor.”
Aondover said the attacks took place Thursday about 9 p.m. in a village near Makurdi, the Benue State capital, where there is a displaced persons camp….
“Almost all the victims” of the attack were Catholics, he said, adding: “The attackers, according to the survivors, were Fulani, who occupied some of the villages they had abandoned in earlier raids.”
Aondover criticized the delayed response from security agents, saying: “The response from the police and the military as always: normal late arrival at the scene, and the attackers remain unidentified.”
Nigeria has been experiencing insecurity since 2009 when Boko Haram’s insurgency began with the aim of turning the country into an Islamic state….
The Jan. 19 attack on the village saw the inhabitants “forcefully driven from their homes by these herdsmen,” Aondover said, lamenting “the incessant attacks without a single arrest and meaningful reaction from the government.”
“We feel terribly frustrated and abandoned by our government and the international community,” he said.
Michael Copeland says
They feel abandoned by their government because they have been abandoned by their government. Nigeria’s President is a Fulani.

the “sponsor” is satan the devil. This is not going to be stopped by the “community,” not by the “government”…one ruled by satan himself through mozlums…and not by the “church.”
These so-called “fulani herdsmen” are children of satan and are doing his desires.
There is One Who will bring an end to this demonic slaughter. Jesus Christ warned about the persecution that would come from “the world” …including “kings and governors”…and Christians should all know this from reading Scripture; and this should cause them to ask for more faith to endure until God brings the end.

These murders happen day after day in various parts of Africa. I wonder if that dopey present day Pope has woken up yet or is still ignoring the murderous violence of Muslms against Christians and is still sucking up to the Muslim leadership and telling the world that islam is “basically peaceful”. On islam’s foul nature, that Pope is completely useless and will not tell the truth. It is inexcusable for a Christian church leader to act in that way.

tim,
The current pope is actually worse than useless.
His words and actions convince me that he is an evil man – and I take no joy in stating that.
somehistory says
The pope is evil and dangerous. He supports evil, enables evil and calls it “good”…just as the prophet Isaiah and Jesus Christ said, “Woe to those saying dark is light, evil is good and bitter is sweet.”
The pope is fully aware that his words and actions are not in line with Jesus; he has even said that Jesus is/was wrong. There is no good in this creep and he will not lift a dirty finger to help those whom the world hates.

Well, James, this Pope is, I think, one of those Marxist type priests. I think it was called “liberation theology” wasn’t it? I recall hearing a lot about it back in the 1980s. It is interesting. Just last week, the Australian who was highest up in the Catholic Church, George Pell, died. He was a man who was hated by the left wingers out here and he was actually railroaded into prison out here, mainly by the ABC, the far left Australian Broadcasting Corporation, for supposedly molesting a boy or some such thing. The police in Victoria also seemed to unfairly go after him. The High Court out here dismissed the charges which were, in his case, ridiculous, but he had already spent over a year in jail. Quite a scandal. Pell was working in the Vatican and cleaning up corruption in finances there. They had a big ceremony in the Vatican for Pell after his death. The Pope gave him a blessing. As a conservative, Pell had, apparently, described this Pope’s reign as a “disaster”, I guess because of his dedication to the woke agenda. somehistory, I think that you might be right about this Pope. We Catholics have had some good Popes and some disasters and this present Pope is one of the disasters I would have to say. Maybe we’ll get a better one next time. I’m personally somewhere in between being a Catholic and an Anglican and I simply ignore left wingers like this Pope. On islam he seems like a complete idiot.
James Lincoln says
tim,
Yes, Pope Francis is an actual Leftist. He fraudulently mixes in a very small dose of actual Christianity in order to pass himself off as an actual Christian.
He has set an incredibly low bar for a “new and improved” Pope.
tim gallagher says
That is the way i see this Pope as well, James. I wonder though whether Popes from now on will tend to be the woke, radical types. This fashion might continue on. Hopefully not. On islam, this Pope has been absolutely pathetic. All these ongoing slaughters of Christians by Muslims and this Pope spends his time sucking up to the Muslims instead of calling them out as the evil force they are.
Walter Sieruk says
We may be sure that Pope Francis will not condemn those murderous jihad-minded Muslims for what they did. maybe is doesn’t really care . Of course Francis would never be honest enough to admit it..
Devasur says
The pope and western Christian orgs/sects only care when it happens in India. So that they could demonize hindus. If it is found to be muslims they will hide it. So their hatred for Hindus is so great that they don’t even have problems with joining hands with muslims and communists. So no Hindu should convert to Christianity.
