Jos Madness
Senselessness now currently taking place in Jos, innocnet lives lost, homes destroyed and for what? The level of violence is atrocious, I just pray for comfort over the many people who have lost their loved ones in the pointless riot. Nigeria, Nigeria, why do we do this to ourselves?
Sectarian violence has flared before in Jos, where the Muslim and Christian communities live in close proximity. Street fighting there in 2001 killed hundreds of people.
The latest violence began early Friday after local elections in which the mainly Christian People's Democratic Party defeated the predominantly Muslim All Nigeria People's Party.
Office-holders in Nigeria often control the awarding of government jobs and contracts, making such positions highly contested.
Plateau state lies in Nigeria's "middle belt" region that separates the country's predominantly Muslim north from the mainly Christian south.
