JOS, Nigeria – More than 200 bodies — many of them women and children — lay in the streets of a central Nigerian town after a renewed spate of Christian-Muslim violence, witnesses said Sunday, just months after religious violence tore through a nearby city and left hundreds dead.
Yemi Kosoko, a reporter with the independent Nigerian news network Channels, told The Associated Press most of the bodies appeared to be women and children killed by blows from machetes. Kosoko said the dead lined the streets of Dogo Nahawa, a village about three miles (five kilometers) south of the city of Jos…
Witnesses said the violence began in the mostly Christian village at about 3 a.m. Sunday — an hour when the area should have been under curfew and guarded by the military. Jos has remained under a curfew since violence in January left more than 300 people dead — the majority of them Muslims.
Police and military officials declined to comment on the attack or the motivation for the violence.
"It appears to be reprisal attacks," Waubo said…
Ever notice how when these Muslims kill Christians in Nigeria it is always characterized as a “reprisal” by our watchdog media?
When will all the violent Christians across the world learn to leave the poor peaceable Muslims alone?
