Em um relatório compartilhado com a ACI África na sexta-feira, 31 de março, e divulgado ao correspondente da RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA, concluiu-se que o diretor do DHPI, Johan Viljoen, observou que a Nigéria está testemunhando um aumento nos ataques após a eleição presidencial de 25 de fevereiro eleições, bem como as eleições estaduais de 18 de março. “Esta semana houve um aumento na violência perpetrada após as recentes eleições, tanto nacionais quanto governamentais em diferentes estados”, disse o Sr. Viljoen em uma atualização sobre o que o DHPI descreveu anteriormente como “uma tempestade crescente” na Nigéria.
Ele acrescenta: “É preciso haver um esforço conjunto do governo federal para neutralizar esses atos de violência… Os governos estaduais e o futuro governo central constituído pelo presidente eleito Bola Tinubu devem agir rapidamente para conter essa nova onda de violência .” Mesmo sem a nova onda de ataques, a Nigéria já está lutando contra a violência crescente dos pastores Fulani e outras forças militantes islâmicas, diz Viljoen. O diretor do DHPI considera lamentável que haja muitos “pontos de conflito” com os quais o povo de Deus na Nigéria tem de lidar, incluindo etnia negativa, política, religião, idioma e até mesmo geografia.
O funcionário do DHPI relata que os níveis de violência continuaram a aumentar após as recentes eleições, particularmente nos estados de Kaduna e Benue. No estado de Kaduna, islâmicos teriam matado quase 30 cristãos há pouco mais de duas semanas. Fontes dizem que 17 cristãos foram mortos na vila de Ungwan Wake em 10 de março e outros 10 na vila de Langson cerca de quatro dias depois. Um morador, Joshua Solomon, disse à mídia local nigeriana: “A casa de minha família na vila foi atacada por terroristas e pastores armados. A casa foi incendiada e ninguém sobreviveu. Eles mataram todos os membros da minha família.”
Bandidos também são supostamente responsáveis por matar um bebê recém-nascido em Janjala, área do governo local de Kagarko. Shamsiya Mustapha, seu marido, Mustapha, e sua filha de 16 anos foram sequestrados por bandidos de sua casa na área. Os bandidos libertaram o marido após arrecadar 2 milhões de nairas (US$ 4.327,00) de resgate, além de uma motocicleta nova; no entanto, eles mantiveram Shamsiya e sua filha e exigiram 2 milhões de Naira adicionais para sua libertação. Shamsiya teria dado à luz um menino enquanto estava em cativeiro, após o que a mulher foi libertada.
Quando seus parentes foram buscá-la e pediram para ver o bebê recém-nascido, os bandidos disseram que haviam matado a criança. O DHPI culpou o aumento de ataques nos estados nigerianos na lacuna de liderança na nação mais populosa da África após o governo federal e as eleições estaduais. “Está claro que desde as eleições nigerianas realizadas em 25 de fevereiro, a violência aumentou nos vários pontos críticos e de pressão do país”, disse Viljoen em um relatório de 20 de março.
Ele acrescentou: “A violência e a intimidação a que muitas comunidades foram submetidas não apenas se intensificaram, mas agora, com a lacuna na liderança até que Tinubu seja empossado como presidente, vigilantes, pastores e bandidos se sentem encorajados a atacar inocentes”.
Après l’élection récemment conclue au Nigéria entachée de truquage autoritaire et de corruption, le correspondant de RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA basé à Lagos, la capitale commerciale du Nigéria, a observé que les choses se sont effondrées dans ce pays et que la nation tout entière n’est plus à l’aise. . À cette fin, la Catholic Charity appelle le nouveau gouvernement nigérian à endiguer la « nouvelle vague » de violence. Le Denis Hurley Peace Institute (DHPI) de la Conférence des évêques catholiques d’Afrique australe (SACBC) a appelé le gouvernement nigérian nouvellement élu à agir en premier pour endiguer ce que la fondation de recherche caritative décrit comme une nouvelle vague de violence dans ce pays d’Afrique de l’Ouest.
Dans un rapport partagé avec ACI Afrique le vendredi 31 mars et rendu public au correspondant de RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA, il a été recueilli que le directeur du DHPI, Johan Viljoen, a noté que le Nigeria assiste à une augmentation des attaques après la présidentielle du 25 février. élections ainsi que les élections nationales du 18 mars. “Cette semaine a vu une augmentation de la violence perpétrée après les récentes élections, à la fois nationales et de gouverneurs dans les différents États”, a déclaré M. Viljoen dans une mise à jour sur ce que DHPI a précédemment décrit comme “une tempête qui se prépare” au Nigeria.
Il ajoute : « Le gouvernement fédéral doit déployer un effort concerté pour contrer ces actes de violence… Les gouvernements des États et le gouvernement central qui sera bientôt constitué par le président élu Bola Tinubu doivent agir rapidement pour endiguer cette nouvelle vague de violence. .” Même sans la nouvelle vague d’attaques, le Nigéria est déjà aux prises avec la violence continue des bergers peuls et d’autres forces islamiques militantes, a déclaré M. Viljoen. Le directeur du DHPI trouve regrettable qu’il existe de nombreux «points chauds de conflit» auxquels le peuple de Dieu au Nigeria doit faire face, y compris l’ethnicité négative, la politique, la religion, la langue et même la géographie.
Le responsable du DHPI rapporte que les niveaux de violence ont continué d’augmenter à la suite des récentes élections, en particulier dans les États de Kaduna et de Benue. Dans l’État de Kaduna, des islamistes auraient tué près de 30 chrétiens il y a un peu plus de deux semaines. Des sources affirment que 17 chrétiens ont été tués dans le village d’Ungwan Wake le 10 mars et 10 autres dans le village de Langson environ quatre jours plus tard. Un habitant, Joshua Solomon, a déclaré aux médias locaux nigérians : « Ma maison familiale dans le village a été attaquée par les terroristes et les bergers armés. La maison a été incendiée et personne n’est resté en vie. Ils ont tué tous les membres de ma famille.
Des bandits seraient également responsables du meurtre d’un nouveau-né à Janjala, dans la zone du gouvernement local de Kagarko. Shamsiya Mustapha, son mari, Mustapha, et sa fille de 16 ans ont été enlevés par des bandits à leur domicile dans la région. Les bandits ont relâché le mari après avoir collecté 2 millions de nairas (4 327,00 USD) en rançon, ainsi qu’une nouvelle moto ; cependant, ils ont gardé Shamsiya et sa fille et ont exigé 2 millions de nairas supplémentaires pour leur libération. Shamsiya aurait donné naissance à un petit garçon en captivité, après quoi la femme a été relâchée.
Lorsque ses proches sont allés la chercher et ont demandé à voir le nouveau-né, les bandits ont dit qu’ils avaient tué l’enfant. DHPI a imputé l’augmentation des attaques dans les États nigérians au manque de leadership dans la nation la plus peuplée d’Afrique à la suite des élections du gouvernement fédéral et des États. “Il est clair que depuis les élections nigérianes du 25 février, la violence s’est intensifiée dans les différents points chauds et points de pression du pays”, a déclaré M. Viljoen dans un rapport du 20 mars.
Il a ajouté : « La violence et l’intimidation auxquelles de nombreuses communautés ont été soumises se sont non seulement intensifiées, mais maintenant, avec le manque de leadership jusqu’à ce que Tinubu prête serment en tant que président, les justiciers, les bergers et les voyous se sentent enhardis pour attaquer des innocents.
After the recently concluded election in Nigeria marred by high-handed rigging and corruption, the Correspondent of RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA based in Lagos the commercial capital of Nigeria observed that things have fallen apart in this country and the entire nation is no longer at ease. To this end, the Catholic Charity Calls on Nigeria’s New Government to Stem the “new tide” of Violence. Denis Hurley Peace Institute (DHPI) of the Southern African Catholic Bishops’ Conference (SACBC) has appealed to the newly elected Nigerian government to act first to stem what the charity research foundation describes as a new tide of violence in the West African country.
In a report shared with ACI Africa on Friday, March 31, and made privy to the Correspondent of RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA, it was gathered that DHPI Director, Johan Viljoen, noted that Nigeria is witnessing a rise in attacks following the February 25 presidential elections as well as the March 18 State elections. “This week saw an increase in violence perpetrated after the recent elections, both national and gubernatorial across the different states,” Mr. Viljoen says in an update on what DHPI has previously described as “a gathering storm” in Nigeria.
He adds, “There needs to be a concerted effort by the federal government to counteract these acts of violence… State governments and the soon-to-be constituted central government by President-Elect Bola Tinubu must act fast to stem this new tide of violence.” Even without the new tide of attacks, Nigeria is already struggling with rolling violence from Fulani herdsmen and other militant Islamic forces, Mr. Viljoen says. The DHPI Director finds it regrettable that there are many “flashpoints of conflict” that the people of God in Nigeria have to contend with, including negative ethnicity, politics, religion, language, and even geography.
The DHPI official reports that levels of violence have continued to rise in the aftermath of the recent elections, particularly in the country’s Kaduna and Benue States. In Kaduna State, Islamists have reportedly killed almost 30 Christians just over two weeks ago. Sources say 17 Christians were killed in Ungwan Wake village on March 10, and another 10 in Langson village some four days later. A resident, Joshua Solomon, told Nigerian local media, “My family house in the village was attacked by the terrorists and armed herdsmen. The house was burned down, and no one is left alive. They killed all my family members.”
Bandits are also reportedly responsible for killing a newborn baby in Janjala, Kagarko Local Government Area. Shamsiya Mustapha, her husband, Mustapha, and her 16-year-old daughter were abducted by bandits from their home in the area. The bandits released the husband after collecting 2 million Naira (US$4,327.00) in ransom, as well as a new motorcycle; however, they kept Shamsiya and her daughter and demanded an additional 2 million Naira for their release. Shamsiya is reported to have given birth to a baby boy while in captivity, after which the woman was released.
When her relatives went to pick her up and asked to see the newborn baby, the bandits said that they had killed the child. DHPI has blamed the increase in attacks in the Nigerian States on the leadership gap in Africa’s most populous nation following the Federal government and State elections. “It is clear that since Nigeria’s elections held on 25 February, violence has escalated across the country’s various hotspots and pressure points,” Mr. Viljoen said in a March 20 report.
He added, “The violence and intimidation that many communities had been subjected to has not only intensified but now, with the gap in leadership until Tinubu is sworn in as president, vigilantes, herdsmen, and hoodlums feel emboldened to attack innocents.”
