[ppi] [ppiindia] lebih dari 100 korban tewas, 1000 luka luka dalam perang agama di Negeria

** Mailing List|Milis Nasional Indonesia PPI-India **

  Perlu ada para tokoh lintas agama, gotong royong, dialog, 
kebersamaan, solusi dan perlunya perbaikan pemerintahan Nigeria untuk 
hukum dan kenetralan. Sebaiknya perlu mengadakan pasukan Nigeria 
untuk melindungi masyarakat Islam dan Kristen.

Bila ada oknum saling menyerang, sebaiknya ditahan untuk diberi 
peringatan. Demi keselamatan umat umat Nigeria di sana.

Perlu ada perhatian besar dari kita pada saudara saudara di Nigeria.

More Than 100 Dead, 1,000 Wounded in Nigeria Feud

LAGOS (Reuters) - Clashes between rival Nigerian tribes of Christians 
and Muslims have killed more than 100 and wounded 1,000, a Nigerian 
Red Cross official said Friday. 

   
Details of the latest fighting over farmland and livestock in the 
remote communities on the border between the central Plateau and 
Taraba states Tuesday have been slow to emerge, partly because 
telephone lines in Taraba are not working. 

"It must have been more than 100, but we cannot confirm a specific 
number of dead," the Nigerian Red Cross Society official said. 

A local newspaper in Plateau state reported at least 120 killed in 
attacks on the villages of Old Sarkin Kudu, New Sarkin Kudu, Auoshima 
One, Auoshima Two, Angon Masu and Sabon Layi. The bodies were 
scattered across the bush, the paper reported. 

These attacks bring the death toll from two-and-a-half months of tit-
for-tat fighting to at least 350, according to unofficial figures. 

The Muslim Fulani people, nomads who live principally from cattle 
herding, and the Christian Tarok, who are subsistence farmers, are 
fighting over land and cattle. Most of the killing is done with large 
cutlasses and in arson attacks. 

The Red Cross official said 24,791 people had been displaced by 
Tuesday's fighting, but that number had fallen to 5,518 by Thursday 
as people returned to their homes, family or friends. 

Earlier fighting between the same groups in southern Plateau state 
had displaced 6,000 people across three neighboring states. 

Abubakar Saddique Muhammed, head of political science at Nigeria's 
Ahmadu Bello University, said the dispute was rooted in competing 
claims over land between nomadic cattle herders and settled farmers. 
But it has been compounded by irresponsible allocation of land by 
government and rising crime levels. 

"You cannot reduce the problem to religious differences," he said. 

Four people displaced by Tuesday's attacks, housed in school 
buildings in Taraba state, have died from snake bites and 
complications during childbirth, a local politician was quoted as 
saying in the local newspaper. 

Local police were not immediately available for comment. Nigerian 
authorities routinely do not provide death tolls from this type 
fighting, for fear of provoking reprisal attacks by groups allied to 
the victims. 

A similar outbreak of religious fighting in Plateau state capital Jos 
in 2001 killed at least 1,000 people. A government investigation into 
that crisis was never released to the public. 

More than 10,000 people have been killed in ethnic, religious and 
political violence in Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation, since 
the 1999 election of President Olusegun Obasanjo ended 15 years of 
military rule.
