For those of us that ply the road to Jos often, we understand what it takes to get trapped in those senseless violence, so much that it has become the usual practice that on approaching Jos, we send out a call to those living inside it to find out whether it is safe to proceed. Some years ago, my sister and uncle were caught up in that unfortunate chaos. They were fortunate enough to escape (out of luck) to the Muslim quarter of Bukuru town. If they had escaped to the wrong location or belong to a different faith, their fate will completely be different. In the university in 2008, my room-mate had the unimaginable misfortune of losing his father in the conflict. His parents were caught in the unfortunate chaos, father and mother separated. The fact he was a Yoruba man did not apply. All his killers cared was that he was a Muslim and therefore guilty and condemned to die in their hands. At Secondary School in the early 2000s, I was moved to tears when a Fulani classmate narrated how he lost three generations of his family in Heipang. Their family had lived there for generations only for them to be wiped out in a single surge of violence. His escape was only a miracle. His mother who was lucky to be away for a wedding fainted at the sight of him because his funeral rites were already conducted in absentia, having thought to have shared the terrible fate of his other family members. All the individuals mentioned in the above instances may be reading this post. I have known real people who have been slaughtered while passing through Jos. I could be one of them, given a different quirk of fate. My family members could also be victims, God forbid! As a result, there is the tendency for someone like me to see the conflict through those lenses, that my people are the victims and the 'other side' is the perpetrator. The same way someone whose local community in Plateau live in constant fear of invasion and attack by armed marauders, where local people could not farm their lands in peace or carry on with life in security and safety will see his people as sole victims and others as perpetrators. That is how one-sided, mutually rejecting narratives set back the wheel of reconciliation. The crises in Plateau is so muddled up that it is now completely detached from its root causes. It first began as local politics borne out of ethnic and sectarian political struggle between the so called Hausa settlers and the native Beroms in Jos North. For long, the Fulani, who have a long history of cultural intercourse with those local communities are kept out of those conflicts. It was until the Shendam anti-Fulani pogrom that the Fulani was brought into the equation, and from that, cycles of reprisals and counter-reprisals have so distorted the reality on ground, bringing a dominant ethnic and sectarian narrative to the fore. That makes peace even difficult. Because all sides have genuine grievances, all sides have genuine complaints of victimhood. The first step towards peace is not in apportioning blame, the first step towards peace is in accepting that all sides have a point and that peace is possible only through dialogue and not further confrontation. The Jos conflict is different from Boko Haram or even rural banditry where the enemy can be criminalized and targeted. In an ethnic or sectarian conflict, you cannot criminalize an entire ethnic or sectarian group. And above all, you cannot enforce peace by sheer use of force. Force should only be used to create an enabling environment for reconciliation and dialogue. I know some may feel force alone could do this, but if that's possible, we will not be where we are today. Obasanjo declared a state of emergency but the killing still continued. Since 1999, the Plateau conflict continues under four successive Nigerian presidents, two Muslim, two Christians. If it were a Muslim conspiracy, the two Christian presidents would have stopped it. Likewise if it were a Christian conspiracy, the tw 2 Likes |

Jgovt:BEWARE OF THE TRICKS TO WAR ! "Be vigilant, wary of those who kill for political reasons to resurrect religious war" When commissioned Dogs of War attack your communities dressed in a particular form to mislead you, such that they even get into a church building to knock off a certain number of people, what do you do? Do you go about killing Hausas and Fulanis in your immediate environment and even proceed to burn down their mosques just simply because you think or believe that the killers were Muslims? What if the killers are what I refer to above as Commissioned Dogs of War? Ok, if the invasion of a church by gunmen to kill worshippers triggers you to begin attacking and killing Muslims and even burning down their mosques, who should Ozubulu community people have attacked when gunmen killed dozens of worshippers in a Catholic Church there last year? When bombs were going off almost every Friday in mosques in Kano few years ago, which people should the people of Kano have attacked? Up till now "Boko Haram" suicide bombers detonate and kill themselves with bombs alongside others in mosques in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states, who should the people in those towns or villages attack or whose property or worship centre should they burn down? Zamfara people are also being killed by the same variant of Dogs of War, so who should they also revenge on? All killings are bad, reprehensible and condemnable. But it shouldn't be deliberately turned into an ethno-religious propaganda tool for mischievous political ends. There are certain persons or groups who would rather have the country go up in flames than to have the country focusing on how much they stole and ruined the country. These killings benefit only them. Don't fall for their antics! |

Those who attack communities under any guise are as barbaric as those who mount roadblocks to kill unsuspecting passersby in retaliations. Both acts are inhuman and incompatible with the vision of tolerance and pluralism shared by all men and women of peace and goodwill. As long as perpetrators of those killings are allowed to go unpunished, we are simply rewarding lawlessness and impunity. No perpetrator deserves to go free no matter his position. No victim deserves to suffer irrespective of the faith he professes, the language he speaks, or the political cause he supports. Government alone has the responsibility to end this tragedy, by any means necessary. It is better to change security chiefs everyday than to have a single Nigerian unjustly murdered. I understand Nigeria is paying the price of systemic decay that has started long ago, but those in authority today must convince Nigerians that they have what it takes to reverse this decay. All that our people want is for the killings to stop, so that no community, no family and no individual will have to go through these tragedies again. Because in the end, no amount of prayers or press release will stop those killings, only firm actions will; sending a strong message to all perpetrators that there is a huge price to pay for their crimes against the good people of this country. |

They can't justify the gruesome massacre of our people on flimsy excuses. These are calculated killings fuel by hatred from the herdsmen. The plateau man you and I know is very peaceful and welcoming and doesn't deserve this treatment. Just like Gen. TY Danjuma rightly said, we (especially the youths) must wake up and defend our people from total annihilation by this blood thirsty monsters. An average plateau man can never be cruel to a creature as tiny as an ant so why the wickedness? These killings have been on for over a decade now so the issue of rustling of their cattle doesn't hold water. The plateau youths must rise up and form vigilante groups to defend their God given land just like their forefathers did otherwise there won't be a future.
