I have added a short text and reference on the series of attacks on Christian farmers, similar to other regions of Nigeria.Cpsoper (talk) 20:49, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
- An editor has removed the reference to these attacks by Christian Persecution, on the grounds that 'You have removed about the attacks on Muslim Fulani. Christian persecution sites are not an apprpopiate[sic] reference as they show only one side.' The only material withdrawn was by the editor in question. Where is the evidence of a two way conflict? This should be sourced. The website in question is RS and provides first hand accounts of unprovoked attacks against unarmed targets. The other source also indicates the Fulani speaking assailants initiated strife. Unless reasonable grounds for the withdrawal are given here it ought to be restored. [1]'
"But the conflict has further evolved, pitting farmers against herders, each trying to gain control over the other for resources. "
"In August, I traveled to Fulani communities around Jos, the capital of Plateau State, where people spoke of the violence and discrimination they endured in reaction to attacks on farmers. Most of the people I interviewed expressed gratitude, as few have ever been asked to tell their stories. Many of the herders whose homes were destroyed in violent reprisals have found refuge within other communities — a stark difference from the organized camps housing predominantly Christian farmers who receive regular aid and most of the local media attention."
As I did say earlier the Persecution takes a side, not discuss the full-scale of the conflict. You should bother to check it without being interested only in Christian persecution. Ajaraman (talk) 09:18, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
