Clashes of violence have again broken out in Nigeria along Muslim / Christian lines. Despite complaints of a slow response by the government and troops a large number of Christians have been killed.
The return to sectarian violence in the Plateau State city of Jos has been largely described as a revenge from the deadly attacks in January. It has also been reported that some of the perpetrators were mercenaries from neighboring Chad and Niger.
Following the sacking of the country's national security adviser, Sarki Mukhtar, in an apparent response to the sectarian killings by Nigeria's acting president Mr. Goodluck Jonathan, reports have revealed that Mercenaries from Niger and Chad may have participated in the attacks on Christian villages that claimed hundreds of lives. Those who died were reported to be mainly women and children.
