Nigeria: Jos Riot - Aftermath in Photo and Video
Posted by: Guest Author on December 1, 2008 Under: Community Report, Life & Culture, Nigeria, People, Photo, Politics & Policy
Muti ThisThe riot was triggered by a rumor on November 28, 2008 that the majority-Muslim All Nigerian Peoples Party (ANPP) had lost in a local election to the mainly Christian Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), according to media reports.
Some 360 bodies have been given a mass burial, the same day the Federal Government deployed more troops to the troubled area. Humanitarian efforts is stretched to the limit as relief agencies express concern over some 4,000 displaced persons at risk of starvation.

Wow! this is so sad, Jos was a model city. The chilly weather was nice too. I recall, The Hill Station Hotel pretty well

Wow!!! I am amazed that the death of 360 people caused by a rumor has not been cast on CNN, etc. That number of people is double the amount of lives lost in the craziness in Mumbai. I am vexed that people are still killing each other over politics and religion. Na wa for Naija.
