This is part of the war of Islam against Christianity. One may even be tempted to say that Boko Haram members have sneaked into the communities and are using these herdsmen as a cover up. Please continue to pray for the brethren living in areas where they suffer severe persecution. May God help them to be strong till the end. May their lives and testimonies bear fruits that will remain.
Last month, Fulani herdsmen attacked two homes in the predominantly
Christian village of Hwak Kwata-Zawan, located near the city of Jos. The
militants also raided a nearby compound consisting of Nigerians who had
been initially displaced by violence elsewhere in the country's Plateau
state. The total number of fatalities resulting from the raids has
reached 15, leaving many more in the community grief-stricken and
emotionally wounded.
In one of the village homes, 57-year-old Rose Monday was
killed while trying to protect her three young grandchildren from the
gunmen. Two of the three children had unfortunately succumbed to their
injuries. Their elder sister, five-year-old Anna, who miraculously
survived, is receiving treatment in hospital for gunshot wounds. Rose's
daughter (the children's aunt) added that their remaining relatives are
consoled to know that one day they will all be reunited as a family with
the Lord Jesus Christ.
