Despite the fact that the Biden Administration removed Nigeria from its religious persecution watchlist last year, the nomadic Muslim Fulani in the north continue to wreak havoc on Christian-majority communities in the name of conquest and jihad.
This week, a group of 100 jihadi thugs did their best to imitate the life of Mohammed by attacking the town of Kagoro, Kaura in Kaduna State, where they killed 32 civilians, two army members, burned 200 houses, and likely abducted a woman.
Resident Violet Peter said she tried to get ahold of her relatives but was unsuccessful.
"My mum's family houses were all razed down, and one of my cousins was burnt to death in their house," Peter told Morning Star News. "We haven't been able to reach some of our relatives. Lord please, this is too much for us."
Local Flora Kundi said, "This is too much for us, my colleague has been killed."
...Resident Favour Gimbiya Shekari noted that the area has become so dangerous that children are no longer safe to go to school
"I've never experienced what I did last night," she said. "We could hear the gunshots very close to us. This is not the country we were enjoying before. Our children can't go to school today. We don't know our fate anymore."
This was reportedly a photo of the aftermath:
Nigeria's government is large enough to thwart a bunch of backwoods nomadic raiders, but for some odd reason, its Muslim president who is sympathetic to the Fulani herdsman isn't taking a lot of action.
Taking a page out of the Western leaders' playbook, the Nigerian government condemns the problem on TV while doing practically nothing about it.
Rev. John Joseph Hayab, chairman of the Kaduna state chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), had some thoughts about that:
The government's response is usually in the media. Sadly, the dead cannot read nor listen to the news. CAN, therefore, calls on the Kaduna state government to swallow her pride and accept that she has failed the people genuinely seeking help to immediately halt the wanton killings, kidnappings, and terrorist activities going on in the state.
Just three days before this March 20 attack, Fulani militants also kidnapped 46 Christians in the region, along with their children.
From Christian Post:
On March 17, heavily armed terrorists, suspected to be radical jihadist Fulani herdsmen, attacked Agunu Dutse village in Kachia County shortly after midnight, abducting at least 46 Christians along with their children.
...Among those abducted in Agunu Dutse village, 16 are men and 30 women.
According to International Christian Concern, a total 50,000 to 70,000 Nigerian Christians have been killed in the nation since 2000 by Islamist terrorists.
To stop the savage murders of entire towns, government leaders must quickly grow some backbones and do what is right โ including those in the West who have ignored this growing problem in Africa's most populous country for far too long.
