Nigerian Christian farmers are being targeted by Fulani Muslims
For many Christian farmers in the Plateau State of Nigeria, traveling to their own farms has become dangerous, reports International Christian Concern.
Some have stopped going altogether. Others now move in groups, hoping that numbers will offer some protection. But for families who depend on agriculture for survival, abandoning their land is not an easy choice.
The fear has grown following a series of attacks by armed men suspected to be Fulani Muslim militias which have targeted farmers traveling to and from their fields.
On July 30, according to Christian leader Joseph Yonkpa, 60-year-old Christian farmer Bulus Turu was “attacked and macheted while returning from his farm.” At least 27 people have been killed in ambushes, many of whom were Christian farmers traveling to their farms.

You can find that address, and the spelling of the Nigerian Ambassador’s name, in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com.

That may have led to the backed-up water surging downstream with enormous force a few hours later. In fact, water levels in rivers across the flood-affected region rose by as much as 29.5 feet in 30 minutes.
The U.S. State Department said it is not aware of any U.S. deaths, but three Americans have been rescued.
Hundreds have lost their homes across the Himalayan region, and officials reported large-scale damage to crit
