Who's fighting with who....and why
Sometimes it can get pretty confusing to work out who is fighting with who in Nigeria and why....it's a big and complex country and there are several things happening at the same time which can easily get muddled.
A friend has shared this really helpful infographic with us to help everyone understand more of the various issues ongoing in Nigeria these days. Called "Nigeria's Conflict Ecosystem" it helps provide a framework of conflicts, sub-conflicts and extremist groups.
Sigh. It's a lot, isn't it? So many conflicts, so much hate, killing and animosity. So much suffering, so many traumatised people unhealed and lashing out in more hate. Check out our Bringing Hope section for some pathways to peace.
WHOLE TRUTH NIGERIA longs for
ALL voices to be heard:
ALL people to know justice:
ALL violence to be condemned, so that
ALL people can live in peace and harmony
Whole Truth Nigeria is a small multi-denominational group of Nigerians from different ethnic groups and missionaries from different countries and organisations who have been living and working full time for decades in the middle belt and north of Nigeria. We have a particular heart to help those who are misrepresented in the English speaking press. We do not condone violence by any ethnic group or against any ethnic group. We are concerned about the rise in ethnic hatred and that attacks, kidnappings and devastation to life, animals and property goes largely unreported and undocumented depending on the ethnicity of the victims.
