Christian residents of Nigeria’s Plateau state are ducking for cover as reprisal killings mount both in the state capital of Jos and in the rural conflict zones of Bassa County, 12 miles west of the city.
The violence against Christian residents has grown since a massacre of 22 Fulani Muslims by a Christian mob on Aug. 14. The combined death count as of Aug. 23 for all victims of violence—Christian and Muslim—since Aug. 14 is 45.
