Genocide By Islamic Terror Groups In Nigeria,
"“The international community, together with nations in Africa, must bear its share of responsibility for this tragedy. We did not act quickly enough after the killing began… We did not immediately call these crimes by their rightful name: genocide.”
These exact words describe the situation today in Nigeria. Sunni Islamist militias — apparently often with the active or tacit approval of local military or police — are engaged in the mass slaughter of Christians, Shia Muslims, and local tribal religious groups. But many western policy elites – including some officials at the United Nations – explain these systematic campaigns of mass murder as really being about “grazing rights” or “land and water rights.”
Such narratives, one expert told me, “confuse the international community and provide cover for terrorists to kill tens of thousands and displace millions. How can desert encroachment explain or justify the mass slaughter of innocent civilians?”
