The Crusader's Opinion

34 dead in one week. A police inspector murdered. Pregnant women and children cut down. Funerals attacked, mourners scattered into shallow graves. Truth Nigeria continues to publish the count. The Nigerian government continues to fail. The Western press continues to ignore. There is one moral question for every Western Christian: how much of this must we read before we act? Donate. Contact your representative. Demand the conditional aid bill. The blood of these Christians is on the conscience of any nation that pretends not to know what is happening in Plateau.
