Nigeria: Violence destroys lives and displaces 10.000 people
(Bonn, 05.02.2010) EED mourns for the victims of the violent clashes in Jos and Bukuru after January 17, 2010. During the crisis, several lives were lost and houses burnt. Up to 10.000 people are displaced. The ethno-religious conflict in Nigeria roots in deep social and regional disparities. Violence came to an end on January 20, 2010. The Jos based Christian NGO CRUDAN advocates for continual peace dialogues among stakeholders.
International media have reported that the violence started on January 17, 2010 in Jos. Later the violence escalated between January 19 and 20. The Christian Rural and Urban Development Association of Nigeria (CRUDAN) published a press release in order to enable civil conflict management and calls on the government “to provide adequate security to all the inhabitants of the Plateau State, regardless of religion, sex and ethnic origin”. EED documents the CRUDAN Press release.
