 In his article "Genocide of Christians in Nigeria: An Insider Speaks Out," John Zmirak writes - "The Stream has been one of the few publications reporting on the worsening genocide of Christians in Nigeria. Since mainstream media seem uninterested, it’s crucial that Christian publications shine a klieg light on those horrors. We were approached by a former intelligence operative with over 20 years on the ground experience in the Islamic world. He wanted to give us the inside story of what’s happening in Nigeria and why. He asked that we not use his name. "How bad is the persecution of Christians in Nigeria? "I conservatively estimate that 20,000, mostly Christians, have been killed since Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari took office in 2015. That number could be significantly higher. Specifically, we know there have been 3,000 victims of direct State violence. And 9,000 victims of police custody or captivity killings. Those people were systematically targeted based on religious and racial profiling. We've seen a complete and willful disregard for crime detection and protection of Nigeria's most vulnerable groups. Especially abandoned were the Christians, largely from the Igbo ethnic group. "Who else is doing the killing? There were approximately 5,000 victims of terrorist Fulani 'herdsmen' death squads. And 3,000 victims of the Boko Haram terrorist group. Their leader, Abubaker Shekau, swore Boko Haram's allegiance to ISIL. (Also known as the Islamic State or ISIS.) Boko Haram rebranded itself as Islamic State in West Africa. So now it's a branch of the very group, ISIL or the Islamic State, that has been murdering, enslaving people, doing its best to destroy Syria and Iraq. Its goal is setting up a new Caliphate, or Islamic Empire, to brutally rule the world." This genocide may very soon become larger and more horrendous than the Darfur genocide of a few years ago. We as Christians need to pray, then spread the word about it in your churches, on social media, and in emails to your contacts - any & every way you can - this is a true life-or-death urgent matter!
