Baroness Cox (Caroline Cox), a crossbench peer and founder of Humanitarian Aid Relief Trust (HART) asked a question in the UK's House of Lords on Monday 26 March about the endless violence visited across Nigeria by Fulani herdsmen, with little being done by the regime of President Muhammadu Buhari to bring the violence to a meaningful end.

Her question was: "To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their assessment of recent developments in Nigeria, with particular reference to attacks on civilians by Boko Haram and the Fulani."

Some politicians deserve to be decapitated.

The Right Honorable Baroness Cox made this accurate statement:

My Lords, I thank the Minister for his reply. Is he aware that, last time I was in Nigeria, I visited four Christian villages in Plateau state that had been attacked by the Fulani herdsmen, stood in the house where they had murdered the pastor, visited the homes which had been destroyed and saw Fulani cattle grazing everywhere? This situation has been multiplied many times, with the murder in recent months of hundreds of Christians and the destruction of their villages by increasingly well-armed and aggressive Fulani. Will Her Majesty’s Government therefore make rather stronger representations to the Government of Nigeria to fulfil their obligations to ensure the protection of all their citizens, especially given recent developments of Christians being deliberately targeted?

To which Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon, Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office, responded with:

Let me assure the noble Baroness and all noble Lords that wherever in the world we find minorities being targeted, we raise that as part of our prioritisation of the freedom of religion and belief. I assure her further that we have raised the issues of the current and recurrent clashes between the herdsmen and the local farmers. We welcome President Buhari’s commitment to assist the affected communities. I agree with the noble Baroness that this has had a devastating impact on lives and communities, as well as on the general safety and security of all citizens. We are engaging with the federal and state Governments to encourage them to work with all parties, so that we can develop safe solutions for all communities in that part of Nigeria.

Baroness Cox called it an attack, Lord Ahmad downplayed it as a clash. And went on to say normal equivocal PC nonsense. How about answering the simple question?

Later on, the same Lord Ahmad said and I quote:

The current crisis is not just one of religion; in some parts, the herdsmen are Christians while the farmers are Muslims.

Is his Lordship mad?

So there are Christian Fulani herdsmen massacring Muslim farmers in some part of Nigeria? And we wonder why the international community is not showing any concern.

Baroness Cox called it an attack, Lord Ahmad downplayed it as a clash

There is a global Islamic conspiracy to downplay the ongoing Jihad in Nigeria and every where else.

That idiot who the good people of Britain saw fit to represent them in the House of Lords is nothing but a lying taqiyya spewing piece of muslim filth

Lord ahmed of wimbledom...

When the Minister next meets his Nigeria counterparts, will he address two of the causes of the growth of the Fulani militias and Boko Haram and ask him why, in defiance of the Nigerian constitution and Article 18 obligations, sharia law has been imposed in 12 states, providing impunity during the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people, abductions, land seizures, murders and violence such as the shooting in the mouth of a female choir singer, and how the Nigerian Government will address the fertile breeding ground for recruiting sergeants such as the kleptomania of corrupt leaders that has led the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to state that some $360 billion has been stolen, while in the impoverished north where these groups have been growing some 70% of children never go to school?
