Gunmen's rampage in Nigeria: More than 140 villagers killed


- All the people killed by the invaders were Christians

- The arrival of security forces the next morning, twelve hours after the attackers launched their attack in the evening

- The divide between Christians and Muslims is growing in Africa's most populous country

Abuja, (Nigeria): More than 140 villagers have been killed in a two-day attack by gunmen in a remote village in the North-Central State of Nigeria. A farmer crisis in the West African country has been blamed for the massacre. The attackers targeted 17 different communities. They attacked without any provocation.

A local government official said that we have done 15 funerals so far. Given that we are still counting bodies in Bockos, there is no chance of a figure below a hundred. Information about the dead people in other rural areas is yet to be obtained.

Amnesty International's Nigeria office said 140 deaths were confirmed in the Christian-dominated Bokos and Barkin Ladi local government areas. Local officials fear the toll could be significantly higher, given the way the gunmen went on a two-day rampage and the number of bodies still unaccounted for.

Some locals said that they continued the violence for more than 12 hours before security agencies arrived. The violent attack started at 6pm, but the security forces arrived at Amare at 7am the next day, said the Bokkos youth leader. At least 27 people, including my brother, have been killed in Mbomambaru village, he said. No one is ready to take responsibility for this attack.

They blame the local Fulani tribe for the attack. He is accused of committing murders across the North-West and Central Provinces. The division between Christians and Muslims is increasing in Africa's most populous country. Due to this, the situation here may worsen in the future.

The central mountainous region in Nepal is considered their home. which is near the Himalayas and the southern Terai plains of Nepal. The Raute people live in temporary houses covered with cloth over wood. However, since they live completely cut off from the rest of the world, it becomes difficult to find their abode. The men of the Raute community are adept at hunting monkeys. Once they have followed a monkey, they do not return without hunting. The Raute people sit around a fire at night in winter. What is new is that they consider it a sin to grow seeds in the soil, so instead of farming, they use the grains found naturally in the forest as food. Every day women and children bring grain bearing plants and extract grains from them. They also eat fruits and vegetables that grow naturally. This nomadic species does no
