The establishment media will ignore this because it doesn’t reinforce its narrative. For a story of this kind to be reported in the establishment media, it has to have Muslim victims and non-Muslim perpetrators.
“Jihadist Militia Murder Congregation of Believers, Stuff Local Wells with Corpses,” by Mike Odeh James and Olikita Ekani, Truth Nigeria, August 11, 2024:
Leave Trail of 50 Dead in Benue State
(Makurdi) In the late hours of Thursday, August 8, 2024, the world was watching the high drama of the Paris Olympics. American pundits were watching Donald Trump’s Mar a Lago Presser.
But Akika Tsav, a farmer and resident of Ayati village in Central Nigeria, was watching his world fall apart….
“It was around 4:30 pm when I heard the sound of motorcycles approaching our compound,” Tsav told Truthnigeria. “I was by the fireside, preparing dinner for my two kids, when suddenly I heard the staccato of automatic rifles. I knew that sound all too well, having heard it just two weeks prior.”…
“I counted up to 15 gunmen shooting indiscriminately into huts and at people running for their lives. They shot point-blank at anyone they saw, ensuring those shots were killed with a bullet to the head.”
Tsav’s voice cracked as he described the slaughter of his family members. “I watched in horror as my two brothers, my cousin, and her 8-month-old baby were gunned down before my eyes. My mother, over 90 years old, died of shock. The trauma of that day will haunt me forever.”
50 Killed by Gun-Toting Fulani Bikers
Survivors of the Ayati massacre, still reeling from the trauma, have so far counted about 50 lifeless bodies, brutally shot point-blank by approximately 30 terrorists speaking the Fulda language of the Fulani tribe. The Fulani Islamist bandit gangs have been linked to sectarian massacres and kidnapping for ransom for more than a decade.
Ayati Ahangba, another resident and Benue State Government official, recalled it, his voice cracking with emotion. “The terrorists, 30 gunmen, came to Ayati on motorbikes, seeking revenge after a shootout with a military checkpoint the previous day, (Aug. 7)” Ahangba said….
“In a heinous attack, the Fulani terrorists also stormed St. Peter Catholic Church in Ayati, where innocent worshippers had gathered for Holy Mass. “The congregation, unaware of the horror that was about to unfold, was mercilessly gunned down, leaving 20 innocent lives lost,” Ahangba said.
“The attackers, with prior knowledge of the ongoing mass, deliberately targeted their church,” said Terso James.
“They opened fire on the unsuspecting worshippers, killing those who attempted to flee. Their bodies were left to lie in the sacred space where they had sought solace and peace.”…
“They made disparaging remarks about our faith and community, saying we Catholics would pay heavily for not allowing them to graze on our lands. And pay we did! On July 2nd, the terrorists attacked the local church, killing 11 innocent faithful,” Tsav said….
“By downplaying the ethnic, religious, and economic dimension of the carnage, State Department diplomats are appeasing the Nigerian government, misleading Congress, and deluding themselves,” former Assistant Secretary of State Robert Destro told The Epoch Times in 2022….
The survivors of the Ayati Precinct massacre are now facing a new nightmare: a looming epidemic outbreak. Charred and decomposing bodies litter the farms and homesteads, and water wells have been poisoned by rotting corpses….

‘The establishment media will ignore this because it doesn’t reinforce its narrative’ and of course,so many (followers of the establishment {media}) just don’t seem to care,choose to disbelieve ’cause they just don’t want to believe,the truth{especially in the U.S/.}

As Mr. Greenfield writes, it has nothing to do with ‘economics’ and it certainly it not “ethnic”…it’s islam.
The “land” is just an excuse. It’s islam.
mozlums will keep on slaughtering the very young, the very old and everyone in between because they want to murder anyone who is not mozlum….and if they murdered all *infidels,* they would still murder each other as they already do.
In Nigeria, the main victims are Christian because Christianity has nothing in common with islam, and mozlums hate Christians with a demonic hatred.
In these instances, they murdered many, and then with the poisoning of the wells, more will die from disease. islam is demonic, through and through. It’s worship of a false god and fake prophet.

I have copied, printed and pinned your post in my kitchen because you are spot on.
somehistory says
Thank you, Colonel. You have honored me.

The mind set: HELPLESS, if these people do not fight back or find a way to do so then the slaughter will continue. Cannot wait for a rescue from outside governments or groups.

This is why it’s very important for the U.S. to retain the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
MD Anthony says
Where is the outrage and publication to the world from Rome? Does the Pope even know or care?
The national Catholic Reporter seems “Woke” and and out of touch with the weekly slaughter of Catholic Christians world wide, and seldom comments if at all
abu taleb says
Islam at its best, which is when they are killing non muslims, rob the assets, enslave and rape the women. The golden era of Islam was when they conquered the Middle East and north Africa by violence, and muslims are very proud of that. What an evil religion and evil people.
dumbledoresarmy says
The description of this classic jihad ghazi raid is EXACTLY like the accounts of the mass-murderous Muslim raid on southern Israel on 7th October 2023. EXACTLY.
And it is also exactly like the mass-murderous Muslim ghazi raid on MUmbai, India, in November 2008.
and if one reads, for example, Bostom’s “Legacy of Jihad” one finds that mass-murderous pillaging raping burning destroying raids like this have been the Muslim manner of behaviour worldwide, all along the edges of the murderously-expanding empire of darkness and death that is the empire of Islam.
But will idiots like the current Archbishop of Canterbury – who whine and whimper sympathetically on behalf of the ‘poor palestinians’ in the ‘occupied territories’ EVER allow themselves to see the parallels between the Muslim assault on Jewish Israel, the Muslim assault on HIndu India, and the ongoing Muslim assaults on Christians and other non-Muslim right across Africa… or look back in history on events such as the sea-borne Muslim assault on Baltimore, Ireland, not so very long ago….and draw the obvious conclusion? That all the ‘local’ jihads are one big jihad that the mohammedan mobsters have been waging on the world – with horrendous death toll and dreadful destruction of artefacts, history and the earth itself (desertification, desolation) – since the 6th century AD?
James Lincoln says
Is Nigeria totally a lost cause?
Is there anything that Western governments can do to assist the Christians in that country?
Can private groups help?
Anything?
Tony Rice says
Mention re 70 killed but no mention of how many injured as well. That leaders of the Catholic and C of E churches not only say nothing but DO nothing, spineless individuals. Imagine the media uproar if in Western countries, the locals murdered 70 Muslims, but that never happens. Who or what controls the media? Whoever, needs to be given the grand order of the boot
OLD GUY says
The slaughter of Christians is a daily event in our world by Islam. What good comes from islam, appears to be mostly evil and led by little evil men.

When the wee Popey fella heard about this attack he asked his followers to understand that islam means peace and these savages, oops I mean believers, in allah are not acting according to the words and teachings in the quran but are fellow lovers of the same god as the wee Popey fella hiding behind the massive walls of his Castle in Rome that were built centuries ago to keep out the islamic warriors that wanted to kill him, but today we should invite them inside the castle so they can cut off the head of that wee Popey fella and then peace will prevail across the world once islam takes over.
The silence of this wee Popey dude in Rome is deafening to my ears.
Meanwhile muslims laugh and spit in the faces of those who follow morons like this wee Popey fella.
islamism is the new nazism.
