The international community is silent. The UN is too busy with other matters, obsessed as it continues to be with trying to discredit and destroy the tiny Jewish state of Israel. The international media is just as culpable as the jihad savages for refusing to report on incidents such as this one, which are all too common. Imagine if it were Muslims who had been massacred by Christians in Nigeria — not that that would ever happen. That would be international headline news for weeks. But this? Nothing. It’s in the Quran. Respect it!
“JUST IN: Herdsmen kill two Catholic priests, 17 parishioners in Benue,” by Rose Ejembi, Sun News Online, April 24, 2018 (thanks to Usman):
At least 19 people including two Catholic priests and parishioners were, on Tuesday, killed by suspected Fulani herdsmen in Ayar Mbalon village, Gwer East Local Government area of Benue State.
Story continues below advertisementDaily Sun gathered from sources that the parishioners and the priests had gone for early morning mass at about 5:30a.m. when the herdsmen who stormed the village and the church wasted no time in spraying bullets on everyone in sight.
Our correspondent observed that since Governor Samuel Ortom traveled out of the country, spate of killings in the state in the last few weeks seemed to be on the increase as hardly a day passes without news about herdsmen killing.
“The rampaging Fulani herdsmen this morning attacked Ayar Mbalom village in Gwer East Local government Area of Benue State and killed two Rev. Fathers and many others,” a source said.
Many were said to have died on the spot while several others sustained injuries even as remains of the dead were at the time of this report being moved to the morgue of St. Theresa’s Hospital.
Meanwhile, the Catholic Diocese of Makurdi has given the names of the deceased Reverend Fathers killed in the attack at their St. Ignatius Quasi Parish, Ukpor Mbalom as Joseph Gor and Felix Tyolaha.
In a statement signed by its Director of Communications, Fr. Moses Iorapuu and made available to newsmen read in part, “Reverend Fathers Joseph Gor and Felix Tyolaha have been confirmed dead in the deadly attack by herdsmen/Jihadists early today (Tuesday) on Mbalom village and St. Ignatius Quasi Parish Ukpor-Mbalom.”
Iorapuu, who regretted that the herdsmen in their classic style, burnt down homes, destroyed food items and killed at will maintained that the police seemed to know nothing of the attacks which have been going on in other villages within Benue State since the Anti Open Grazing Law came into effect last year.
“Many people are asking why the International community has remained silent over the massacre of Benue citizens?
“The answer is simple: It has been the goal of the Jihadists to conquer Benue and Tiv people who resisted their advance into the middle belt and the Eastern part of Nigeria since 1804, the people who rejected Islam and fought for the unification of Nigeria in the civil war of 1967 – 1970.
“The people of Eastern Nigeria therefore have little sympathy for Benue people who fought on the side of Nigeria .
The Muslim North is enjoying a sweet revenge overshadowed by an insensitive regime.
He lamented that there are over 170,000 internally displaced persons in eight camps in Benue before the Naka invasion stressing that this current invasion of Mbalom would further swell the humanitarian crisis the state is already faced with….

Probably mistaken identity…. UN can’t be bothered with trivial matters like this…pass the coffee!
I know what I wrote makes no sense, but neither does anything else in this upside down world. We’re not just seeing the demise of Europe, but Canada and America. And we look at the UN as an important organization? Isn’t there anyone in authority that has studied the “accomplishments” of the League of Nations? Dang glad I’m a senior citizen!

Stupid, isn’t it! Why do Christians not arm themselves, guard their churches and when Muslim vermin attack, kill them. I watched a Western reporter ask the Nigerian Defence Minister whether it was time to bring back the mercenaries (South Africans mostly). This idiot said ‘no’, but evident is that they should because the Nigerian army is next to useless. Probably ‘good’ at raping women, but useless at fighting! As to the Christians, since when does anyone not defend their wives, children and themselves? During the last century and a bit Christians fought Nazi’s and communists. Why not now Muslims? The whole thing floors me.

It defies explanation that Christians and others meekly accept the criminally insane violence of islam.

He probably makes a show of caring for Africans only when they are Muslim. 🙁

Time to start arming some of the parishioners. Farther south in Africa, one man with a .38 stopped two cowards with AKs. That was both a miracle and a blessing.

Headline of: “Herdsmen kill two Catholic priests, 17 parishioners in Benue, by Rose Ejembi”. Those darned herdsmen …. That’s the new moniker to be given to moslem mass murderers. “Herdsman Drives Truck into Crowd, in Nice France” … “Herdsman bombs a subway, in London” … and the list goes on, and on, and on ….

“The woman met Jallow, 37, through Facebook and travelled to Germany to live with him.” After viewing that handsome specimen’s picture .. How could she have refused? Amazing …. Simply unbelievable.

The terrorist group Boko Haram in Nigeria has apparently killed even more people than the Islamic State so far:

Genocide by Muslims always gets a free pass though, at least in most liberal circles.
