According to Morning Star News, 10 Christians were killed, three villages attacked and a church burnt down by Fulani Muslims in Nigeria’s Plateau State this month. Violence between predominantly Christian farmers and predominantly Muslim cattle herders, or Fulani, have waged for years, usually over land disputes. Recently, attacks have been perpetrated on the basis of religious identity, resulting in the reported deaths of hundreds of Christians and the destruction of untold amounts of Church and communal property.
