Nigeria burns

Christians of Nigeria in Africa have been targets of violence for years. Islamic terror group Boko Haram often attacks villages at night in the north. This is where the attack on a school resulted in 200 girls kidnapped (#Bringbackourgirls) in 2014.

The country is roughly half Christian and half Muslim. After an ineffective Christian president, they now have a Muslim president - who happens to be of the Fulani tribes.

"A few days before any attack, a military helicopter is spotted dropping arms and other supplies into the areas inhabited by the Fulani tribes. Then the attack comes." Elements in the Nigerian military are arming and supplying Fulani fighters.

"When challenged after a massacre, soldiers often claim that they didn’t receive any orders — or had been commanded not to intervene."
