Did you read the part where it says 47 cows were killed during a clash prior to this incident which resulted in drafting police men there to keep the peace.

To a Fulani man that 47 lives lost. To us it makes no difference but to them they've lost "47 people" which they won't take just like that.

What I'm saying in essence is there has to be balance and mutual respect for the believes and value system of one another. They the Fulanis might look primitive to us but they have a very sophisticated structure and network that is as advanced if not more advanced than what our modern society has now. So we need to as much as possible try to live in peace with them; there is an adage that says "there is no crop or food that a domestic animal will eat or destroy that it cannot pay for" which means if a cow eats your crop you can get compensated without resorting to killing that animal or attacking the one or two Fulani herdsman herding the cows without getting a retaliation when you least expect.

This is the most sensible and unbiased comment on this thread. It is not justifiable to killed the way they did, especially attacking the policemen drafted to bring peace but communities must avoid situations that lead to such reprisal attacks. The truth is that you cannot kill 47 Fulani men's cows without killing some of them. Had the government and the communities concerned reached out to them to solve the problem may be the carnage would have been avoided. There was an attack on the Fulani, and according to the the police 47 cows were killed, all the police did was to post its men to guard the communities instead of looking for the attackers of the Fulani. If the government cannot protect them against their attackers these sort of violence would continue. You attack them first and when they retaliate you feign victim hood, the sympathy you gain on social media would not help you. Stop the attacks and the attacks on you stop. Period.

Lastly I am calling on the government to deal with anybody involved in this violence be it the Fulani herdsmen or the settler communities who attack them.

Thank you for sharing my point of view and having the courage to say it.

It's not easy responding to people who are clearly prejudiced already taking sides on such a sensitive issue without being made to sound like you support the killings especially those carried out by the herdsmen who are portrayed as the aggressors.

Ironically, the first incident didn't get the same media coverage that their retaliation now gets and such bias makes them feel helpless and resorting to self help in violent retaliation.

The killings has to stop and one of the ways to stop reoccurrence is to learn from it.
