Riots in Jos : Indigenes Evacuated


Vanguard Nigeria

Truant presidents and absent governance are not the only things currently plaguing Nigeria. Starting in early 2010, sectarian riots between Muslims and Christians broke out in Jos the capital of Plateau State. Since then there have been at least 200 deaths. The next phase of government interference is the evacuation of the indigenous groups of neighboring states from Jos. Perhaps this is exactly what the provokers of the Jos riots wanted, which will cause positive feedback loops for an already tumultous Nigeria; riot to get what one faction or another wants. Looks like Nigeria started the year of on shifty footing- hopefully things get better with the upcoming local elections...
