Attacks on believers in Nigeria happen continuously ... ruthlessly ... week after week.

Not long ago, Gatestone Institute reports, Nigerian Christian leaders say recent government-led “peace talks” disguise Fulani militia violence and mislead outsiders about real conditions. A few quotes from protesting and displaced survivors:

• “They told us to forgive and move forward,” said a farmer, whose brother was killed. “But they never asked who committed the killings. They only wanted photographs of us sitting together in the hall, so they could show Abuja and the U.S. embassy that peace has been restored.”

• “When we said Fulani militias attacked us, they told us to stop spreading hate speech,” Mary Dauda said. “But we saw their faces. Some of the same men were seated across from us in the so-called peace meeting.”

• “The soldiers said they would help us rebuild,” said Daniel of his destroyed village. “Instead, they took pictures of us with the attackers and left. [Our] village is empty [to this day].”

• “They tell the international community there is peace,” said Rachel. “But in reality, we are refugees in our own land.”

Today I urge you to stand in the gap for Christians in Nigeria and elsewhere who live under the threat of violence, torture, abduction, rape, or death because of their faith.
