Black non-Muslim Africans Face Atrocities

In January 2024, a report by Bhaswani Bhattacharjee for Genocide Watch confirmed that “since 2000, 62,000 Christians in Nigeria have been murdered in genocide perpetrated by Islamist Jihadist groups including Boko Haram, Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) and Fulani militias. The International Committee for Nigeria refers to this as the Silent Slaughter”.

The report details numerous atrocities such as the 50 parishioners massacred at St. Francis Church in Owo, June 2022; the four Catholic priests murdered and the 23 held hostage as being part of the attempt to exterminate Christianity. No less than 18,000 Christian Churches and 2,200 Christian schools have been deliberately set on fire. As well as the 62,000 Christians murdered by Islamists more than 32,000 moderate black Nigerian Muslims and non-faith individuals have also been massacred.

Nigeria is just one of several countries where persecution of Christians resulting in mass slaughter is very much part of a Government agenda and also where non state actors, of which is Qatar, supported by those governments are active participants.  

A Google paragraph dedicated to the Democratic Republic of Congo from a minor BBC article (reported on Africa Today) reads as follows, dated June 8, 2024.

“At least 45 civilians have been killed in a spate of attacks over the past week across the Democratic Republic of Congo’s troubled North Kivu province. Decades of fighting between armed groups over lucrative gold and mineral deposits has devastated the region, forcing millions from their homes’’.

Further cursory research suggests that since 1998 over 5.4 million black Africans have been killed as a direct result of conflict in the DCR. Now just take that in for a moment. Over five million black Africans slaughtered, and millions more ethnically cleansed since 1998. How many times have any of the international community made speeches about the atrocities committed in the DCR?
