As Sahara desert encroaches upon traditional farmlands. Muslim Fulani herdsmen are desperate for grazing land and water for their cattle, but farmers can’t tolerate their crops being eaten, trampled, and destroyed by those cattle. This conflict for survival gives rise to violence. The mainly Christian Nigerian farmers have no defence against marauding herdsmen wielding AK-47 assault rifles. The central Christian area of Nigeria was once the main target, but with increasing desert encroachment, more areas are targeted.
Pray for God to destroy their sources and stockpile of weapons.
Pray: for Nigeria’s government officials to do their job and protect farmers.
Pray also for the salvation of corrupt law enforcement officials and aggressive Fulani.
