In the center of Nigeria, nomads and sitting farmers argue about land use. Brutal attacks are common. According to Amnesty, a whole village has now been attacked, there were at least 100 dead.
According to Amnesty International, at least 100 people were killed in an attack by armed on a village in the central Nigerian state of Benue.
“Many people are still missing. Dozens have been injured and do not receive enough medical care. Many families were locked up and burned in their bedrooms,” said the organization on Saturday at X. The attack took place from Friday evening to the early morning hours of Saturday, it said.
Benue is located in the SO -Called Middle Belt Nigeria, a region in which the mainly Muslim North meets the predominantly Christian South. There is a competition for land use in the region. This often leads to conflicts between cattle shepherds who are looking for grassland for their cattle, and farmers who need arable land for cultivation.
These tensions are tightened by overlapping ethnic and religious divorces. Many of the shepherds who live as nomads belong to the Muslim -Etnian group Fulani, many of the sedentary farmers are Christians.
It was only at least 42 people in the same region in the same region in the same region in different attacks in the Gwer West District. According to the SBM Intelligence research institute, more than 500 people have been killed in such collisions since 2019 and around 2.2 million were expelled.
Heavy floods in the region
