Nigeria: Ethnic Clashes Leave 27 Dead
Clashes between rival ethnic groups in central Nigeria
killed at least 27 people on Wednesday, witnesses said, in a region
straddling the country’s largely Christian south and mostly Muslim north
that is prone to civil unrest. Witnesses said armed Fulani herdsmen
attacked the villages of Da Jak and Attakar in Plateau State in the
early hours, spraying residents with automatic gunfire and setting
houses on fire. The military declined to comment, but a Plateau State
legislator, Daniel Dem, said dozens had been killed.
