“More than 50,000 Christians have been killed and millions displaced over the past 20 years.”
The goal of all these attacks is to drive the Christians out altogether and make the area entirely Muslim.
“Militants Kill 42 Christians in Nigeria Farming Communities,” International Christian Concern, May 17, 2023:
5/17/2023 Nigeria (International Christian Concern) — Gunmen wielding AK-47s and machetes killed 42 Christians and burned dozens of houses near Mangu in Nigeria’s Plateau State.
The attackers – suspected to be Fulani militants – raided at least 11 communities from midnight to dawn early Tuesday in Nigeria’ north-central region about 55 miles from the capital, Jos….
Mangu County has faced multiple attacks by the Fulani militants this year. More than 60 Christians were killed in the district after Mutfwang and his Peoples Democratic Party prevailed in the March election….
Mutfwang described the attacks as “ethnic cleansing.” Radical Islamic Fulani militias have targeted the mostly Christian farming communities – more than 50,000 Christians have been killed and millions displaced over the past 20 years. Others say a growing scarcity of farmland for the nomadic Fulani herders contributes to the attacks and conflict….
Witnesses say the Fulani, however, often get a free pass by government and military leaders who are tied to and mostly sympathetic with the Fulani.
Anand says
Through out the globe 🌎 they are killing kaafirs (non muslims) and play the Victim Card.
PRCS says
From the Persecution.com article:
*The attackers – suspected to be Fulani militants
*condemned the Fulani militants
*multiple attacks by the Fulani militants
*described the attacks as “ethnic cleansing”
**No–this is about religion, not ethnicity
*scarcity of farmland for the nomadic Fulani herders contributes to the attacks and conflict
And finally, the ultimate (though erroneous) admission:
“Radical Islamic” Fulani militias
Of course, what makes them “radical”?
Fleur says
@PRCS
What could make them “radical” enough to justify the insane slaughtering of innocent communities on regular basis? You sound like a terrorist.
It is sick to say that scarcity of farmland contributes to this madness! This is the stupid and deceptive people like you use to trivialise the sufferings of the innocent people in the hands of the killer Fulani herdsmen who are actually terrorists.
It is pure ethnic under the guise of religion. The Nigerian government colludes with these killer Fulani terrorists. I always add “killer’ because I have Fulani friends who wouldn’t hurt a fly.
So, please stop supporting Islamic radicalism because it’s sickening and they are the reason many people always treat the moderate muslims with a lot of suspicion.

Fleur, PRCS is a long time staunch anti-Jihadist here. He is pointing out what the article said, *not* agreeing with it.
And–with all respect–your idea that this is all about ethnic hatred under the guise of religion is mistaken. Islam everywhere promulgates the oppression and murder of Infidels, even in places where the ethnicity of the two groups is the same.
PRCS says
TY, my dear.
This past winter’s massive Sierra snow pack has melted -at lake level.
Dreading the summer road repairs/traffic snarls to come.
Hope you’re doing well!
Shagbo says
Fulanis especially the militant ones are not necessarily Christians. If they attacked, it wasn’t because they were Christians.
gravenimage says
Shagbo, more than 99% of Fulanis are Muslim.

The mozlums in nigeria get a “pass” from their government because their government is mozlum.
the mozlums in nigeria get a “pass” from the U.s. government because the U.s. government has armed the mozlum government to “fight terrorism” and have identified all who don’t like or appreciate the actions of same, are “terrorists.” The department that looks at religious freedom/persecution has decided that mozlums are the victims and Christians are the aggressors in nigeria and other nations where mozlums are making every attempt to wipe out Christianity.
One reason: mozlums are part of every government department, including the one that makes reports on religious freedom and persecution. What else are they going to write?
Christianity is under attack and mozlums are having their share of the attempt to wipe it out. Enjoying the blood shed, the kidnapping, the rapes, it’s all part of satan’s desire and mozlums are happy to oblige.
It has nothing to do with ‘a growing scarcity of farmland for the nomadic Fulani ” These snakes have killed so many and taken over the farmland, burned Christians out of house and home and church, and now have more farmland than they are using; they are too busy with the murder campaign to do any farming or herding cattle.
they have murdered thousands and continue to murder thousands, but Jesus promised that “some would be saved” from this slaughter. mozlums and others who want to wipe out all Christians will fail.

somehistory,
An excellent article in the Gatestone Institute regarding Christian genocide in Nigeria:
https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/19648/murdered-like-animals-the-genocide-of-christians
somehistory says
Thanks, James. I’ll check it out. It’s difficult to read those accounts; much like when Mr. Raymond Ibrahim writes about the slaughter going on seemingly evertwhere.
somehistory says
And I see this is by Mr. Ibrahim
Peacelover says
What is difficult also is knowing that there are Many ‘American’ citizens who just don’t care about that slaughter even if the news were to be right in front of them.

Grimly true, Somehistory, James, and Peacelover. Good story by Raymond Ibrahim. I have talked to many people here who have never even heard about the mass killings of Christians in Nigeria.
OLD GUY says
Murder, Violence and Rape the backbone of Islamic teaching. And proven daily around the world by islamic followers.
YET, Leaders of our western countries fling open the borders to millions of Islamic followers to invade our Christian and other non-islamic countries. Our political leaders can’t be that blind, that they don’t see what is happening around the world. The attacks by islamic followers upon citizens of the countries they are migrating too, is a daily news story of Murder, Violence and rape to non-islamic people.
So just what is the incentive to allow this muslim/islamic migration to take place?
Can’t be DIVERSITY because there is no diversity in islam.
Can’t be to get hard working people in the workforce, most muslim migrants live off of the host countries social services.
It could be MONEY flowing into some pockets.
