Nigeria's government is not doing enough to tackle religious violence in central Nigeria, where more than 100 people have been killed since March, a U.S. government agency said on Monday.
Plateau state and other parts of the "Middle Belt" have suffered for decades from violence linked to land disputes between the semi-nomadic, cattle-herding Muslim Fulani and settled Christian Berom farmers.
There have been several clashes reported in the past weeks in Plateau, where violence can quickly escalate into tit-for-tat attacks that have killed hundreds within weeks in the past.
Security forces have been stretched since an insurgency by Islamist sect Boko Haram intensified more than two years ago.
The unrest in central Nigeria is not directly related to the Islamist insurgency, although Boko Haram has bombed churches in the region with the apparent aim of stoking ethnic and religious tensions.
"Religiously related violence has led to more deaths in northern Nigeria than have Boko Haram attacks," said Katrina

ReplyDeleteTackle Religious Violence! As far as most nigerians are concerned, the President is seriously engrossed with activities that will guarrantee his re-election come 2015.He said the other time that his ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian. What he should not forget is that the blood of several innocent Nigerians shed (owing to his negligence and misplacement of priority) will surely cry against him for vengiance.
