Why Is The World So Noisy About Gaza, Ukraine, Syria, But So Silent About This Slaughterhouse

 contributed by Chanti Niven, (21 April 2025) who requests that readers please share it:


Protests against genocide of Nigerian christians - source: screenshot



Why is the world so silent?
On Palm Sunday, April 13, 2025, up to 54 men, women, and children—were brutally massacred in Zikke village, Nigeria. Militants, identified by local leaders as Fulani extremists, torched homes and annihilated entire families in a savage, targeted attack. They were not shot to death, they were savagely beaten and hacked to death with Machetes.
Why?!!!
For no other reason, than they were Christian.
It was initially reported that 51 people were killed but International Christian Concern notes 54 deaths. The exact number hardly matters when the blood of innocents still stains the soil. I saw horrific scenes: children still clad in their pajamas, mercilessly killed and left with horrific gaping wounds, some beheaded. This was not just murder—it was an attempt to erase an entire community.
This atrocity is part of a broader wave of violence. In the past couple of months alone, approximately 113 Christians, have been killed in just the Plateau State. Across northern Africa, the toll is staggering: between 50,000 and 75,000 Christians have been slaughtered by militant Islamist groups. In Nigeria, groups like Boko Haram, ISWAP, and Fulani militants have waged a relentless campaign.
Fifty thousand.
Seventy-five thousand.
JustL let those numbers sink in.
Many among them were small children, even babies.
Yet, the world barely flinches.
No front-page headlines.
No global protests.
No urgent calls for justice.
Compare this to the outcry about Palestinian deaths following Israel’s retaliation for the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack—marches, hashtags, UN resolutions erupted overnight.
Why the disparity?
Why does it seem that Christian lives in Nigeria are deemed less worthy?
The silence reeks of double standards, and of selective outrage. It makes me wonder if the uproar over Palestine was less about justice and more a pretext for anti-Semitism, a latent hatred waiting to surface. 
If the world really cares about innocent lives, where is the grief for Zikke’s children? These were not combatants. They didn’t attack or kidnap anyone. They were peace-loving families—farmers, worshippers, churchgoers—who sang, served, and lived humbly.
My heart is broken.
All I can think is that many did not know. Surely people would care if they did? If you do care, please share this and show you stand against genocide!

Islamists Are Slaughtering Thousands of Christians But the Media Don’t Tell Us

 

If 16.2 million Muslims been forced to leave their homes in sub-Saharan Africa due to violent persecution by Christians, we can imagine the news coverage by Western nrews media organisations such as the BBC or The Guardian would feature video reports by excitable talking heads or prited headlines taking up half a page about racism. There would be no effort to be objective or present a balanced view, the two sides in the conflict would be clearly lablled good guys and bad guys.

So why, when Christians are being slaughtered by Ilamic jihadists do we hear little about it.

Open Doors, a charity dedicated to supporting persecuted Christians around the world, is currently trying to put the media spotlight on the displacement of this number of Christians in the region by Islamist violence. But it faces an uphill task in generating interest in the  developed nations' mainstream media.

To draw attention to its campaign, Open Doors has produced a film featuring Pastor Barnabas, a Christian minister with a large congregation in a displacement camp for Christians who have fled Islamist violence in Benue State in northern Nigeria. Barnabas is shown saying: “Millions of Christians are displaced, here in Nigeria. Millions of Christians are displaced in Africa. The west doesn’t care about it, politicians don’t talk about it, governments don’t talk about it, global politics don’t talk about it. Nobody talks about it.”

One scene in the film shows Pastor Barnabas indicating the tent in which his family of eight has been living for almost five years. Their home is made of palm leaves and mosquito nets with some cardboard evident. “It’s smaller than a double mattress,” he says.

Open Doors reports:

Last year, and for many years, more Christians were killed for their faith in Nigeria than the rest of the world combined. The same violent persecution is quickly spreading across other parts of sub-Saharan Africa, as Islamic extremist ideology spreads: as well as these murders, huge numbers of believers are injured, abducted, sexually assaulted or forced to flee from their homes.

Pastor Barnabas describes the attack by Islamic militant Fulani herdsmen on his family farm: “I was on the farm with my brother, Everen, and his wife, Friday. We heard shooting. We saw people running in different directions. We didn’t know what was happening.

“My brother was shot by the militants, and my brother’s wife was also shot and then macheted and killed by the militants.”

There has been a general lack of journalistic interest in Islamict extremist activity in Africa since the outrages of Boko Haram over a decade ago, as if the horrors inflicted by these terrorist groups across Africa and also the Middle East, and the human rights abuses due to Islamic countries living under Sharia are mere white noise now. 

The most obvious reason for that is MSM, no longer an industry dedicted to reporting facts and disseminating information, but now merely the government’s propaganda mouthpiece, doesn’t want people to know the real threat level that importing so many barbaric death cult followers will have on our Western societies. Fortunately it seems, enough of us are finally realising that for ourselves, whether we like it or not. 

The reality cannot be suppressed forever. For instance, all those people who attended the ‘Festival of Diversity’ in Solingen, Germany  were of the ”Refugees Welcome” type, and look where that got them. Three people were murdered and many injured after a Syran religious fanatic, outraged by people enjoying themselves at tge festival, started randomly stabbing festival goers,  Psycho jihadists don’t discriminate and being a ‘virtue signalling woke idiot’ will not save you.

Another article focuses on the horrendous things going on in Burkina Faso, perpetrated by possible future ‘Dinghy People’. After all, it’s just a numbers game. The more you import from these areas of the world and from this particular religion, the more terrorists and dangerous psychopaths will inevitably slip through the net. We are already living with the consequences of this foolishness, this ”suicidal empathy”. Well it’s not like rigorous background checks are done or anything, is it?

”Oct. 7-like attacks happen almost daily across Africa. In at least nine countries, armed jihadists, following what they believe to be the precepts of Islamist theology, storm villages, and torture and murder innocent Africans. Boko Haram in Nigeria, al-Shabaab in Somalia and the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan are Hamas by different names.
Like the Israelis, Africans have their homes and schools burned. Churches are a prime target. Women and girls are kidnapped and enslaved as concubines, “wives” of warriors, or merchandise to ransom or sell—all to the screams of “Allahu Akbar!”

Not all the victims are Christians; moderate Muslims and practitioners of tribal faiths are also attacked. This has resulted in the displacement of millions of people who have lost their homes and livelihoods. Yet this is generally ignored by the Western “human rights” establishment, possibly because they cannot blame 'white privilege, 'institutional racism,' or 'the jews.'

Boko Haram Mass Kidnappings Back In Nigeria After 6 Year Break

Over 300 Girls Abducted From School By Radical Muslim Bandits In Nigeria


Girls attending school is haram, (forbidden) in the eyes of Nigerian fundamentalist Muslims
Picture credit:

A guerilla force of around one hundred armed terrorists stormed a girls boarding school in northwest Nigeria on Thursday night (25 Feb 2021,) and kidnapped over 300 pupils. It was the second mass kidnapping carried out by Islamic fundamentalists in less than a week.

The attack on the Jangebe secondary school took place in in Zamfara state, a region where mass kidnappings are becoming a regular occurrence again after a spate of abductions in 2014 preceded an escalation of violence by groups afilliated to boko Haram.

Riding motorcycles and quad bikes, the men entered the school grounds around midnight and rampaged through the dormitories. One teacher reported that 600 teenage girls had been in the school dormitories at the time of the attack, but that only “about 50” have been accounted for so far. The missing girls may have been kidnapped or may have escaped.

“The armed men came into the school with vehicles, then they forced some of the girls to walk with them,” said Sulaiman Tunau Anka, a local government spokesperson.

“The Zamfara State Police Command in collaboration with the military have commenced a joint search and rescue operation with a view to rescuing the students kidnapped by the armed bandits in Government Girls Science Secondary School Jangebe,” police said in a statement.

Thursday’s kidnapping is the latest mass abductions of adolescents in rural Nigeria perpetrated by criminal groups, known locally as “bandits,” who terrorize the population, steal livestock, and loot villages. A similar attack took place on February 16 in a secondary school in Kagara, Niger state, where at least 27 students, a teacher and six members of his family were kidnapped by armed men.

In a further sign of a meltdown of lawful government in the face of Islamic militancy throughout Nigeria, at least 16 people died on February 23 in a mortar and rocket-propelled grenade attack in the suburbs of Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state in the northeast of the country. That attack was claimed by a branch of the Boko Haram Islamic terror group led by Abubakar Shekau.

Last December, a group of bandits, acting on behalf of Boko Haram, kidnapped 344 students in a boarding school in the town of Kankara, in the neighboring state of Katsina. In that incident the bandits released their captives after a week of captivity following negotiations with authorities. On February 9, the leader of the kidnappers, Awwalun Daudawa, turned himself in to the authorities in exchange for an amnesty agreement.

The recent abductions are symptomatic of a generalized fragmentation of the country, as ethnic groups demand not only greater autonomy, but also the definitive renunciation of a nation in which they have lost all trust and sense of belonging.

Media Silence Surrounds Muslim Massacre of Christians



Boko Haram are seldom mentioned in western news now but they still terrorise Christians in remote parts of Nigeria (Picture: /boudicabpi2015.files.wordpress.com/)


Last month the world united in an frenzy of outrage (whipped up by mainstream media) at the killing of 50 (and counting) Muslim worshippers in a Mosque in New Zealand this week there was not a whisper about a far bigger numerically at least, massacre of Christians by Muslims in Nigeria.
The New Zealand mosque attacks were unarguably an atrocity worthy of universal condemnation. Presidents, prime ministers, royalty, and religious leaders rushed to extend their condolences to victims and their families — as well they should — while decrying the hate that purportedly motivated the shootings.
Without exception, the mainstream media gave top billing to the shootings, with newspapers carrying the story on their front pages and television news channels leading off their broadcasts with the story. But we should not forget the crime was committed by, according to the evidence released so far, a lone nutter who may have had one or two supporters who indirectly helped. It was not part of an organised religious war.

Boko Haram attacks In Nigeria Kill More Than 80 People



A Nigerian school following a visit by Boko Haram educational consultants (Image source)

Remember just a few days ago this blog reported that the President of Nigeria had declared victory and claimed he had kept his promise to defeat the Boko Haram (Death to western education) Islamic terrorist insurrection in the west African state which is the most heavily populated on the African continent.

Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari says that his armed forces have met the December deadline set for defeating the jihadi terror group Boko Haram and that the Islamists are no longer capable of mounting a serious attack against the Nigerian military or population centers. The oft quoted words of Mandy Raice Davis, a prostitute involved in a 1960s political scandal spring to mind. "He would say that wouldn't he?" Unfortunately nobody seems to have told Boko Haram of President Buhari's heroic victory

Ironically, on Wednesday (23 December), just after buhari told the world he had defeated Boko Haram we learned from reliable news feeeds (Reuters and Agence France-Presse (AFP) that Boko Haram rebels carried out four attacks on villages in Niger, Chad and Cameroon, killing at least seven people including two soldiers and three civilians in Niger’s southern border town of Abadam.

And now we learn that Boko Haram Islamic extremists yesterday (28 December) struck a city, Maiduguri, the capital of the state of Borno, and a town in northeastern Nigeria with rocket-propelled grenades and multiple suicide bombers Monday, killing at least 80 people, according to eye witnesses.

At least 30 more were killed and more than 90 wounded in overnight blasts and shootouts, and an additional 20 died in a bombing outside a mosque at dawn Monday, said Muhammed Kanar, area coordinator of the National Emergency Management Agency.

A pair of suicide bombers also killed at least 30 people in Madagali, a town 95 miles southeast of Maiduguri, witnesses said.

The attacks appear to be a direct challenge to President Muhammadu Buhari's declaration last week that Nigerian security forces have "technically won the war" against Boko Haram and that it is now capable of no more than suicide bombings on soft targets. As a response it is typical in style of the way Boko Haram operate.

Maiduguri, with a population of about 1 million people, hosts almost as many refugees — among the 2.5 million people driven from their homes in the 6-year-old Islamic uprising. About 20,000 people have been killed in Nigeria and hundreds others elsewhere as the insurgents have carried their conflict across its borders into Cameroon, Niger and Chad.

The military said there had been multiple attacks at four southwestern entry points to Maiduguri.

Nigerian President Lies: We Have 'Won the War’ Against Boko Haram.



President Buhari (left) seeks dialogue with Boko Haram rebels (Image source)

Recently elected Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari (pictured), who used a campaign based on fearmongering to replace the Christian dominated government of President Goodluck Jonathan with a Muslim dominated regime says that his armed forces have met the December deadline set for defeating the jihadi terror group Boko Haram and that the Islamists are no longer capable of mounting a serious attack against the Nigerian military or population centers. The oft quoted words of Mandy Raice Davis, a prostitute involved in a 1960s political scandal spring to mind. "He would say that wouldn't he?"

Buhari said "I think, technically, we have won the war, Boko Haram is an organized fighting force, I assure you, [but] we have dealt with them."

In the course of delivering a speech to present the 2016 national budget, Buhari said that Boko Haram can no longer marshal forces to attack towns or military installations as they did before, and that the Nigerian military has been reorganized and reequipped. He was careful only to reveal half the picture. While the rebels are not engaging the Nigerian military (which may be due largely to the fact that a Muslim president is in power) they are far from defeated. Boko Haram translates to "death to western education" and as we reported just before Christmas, the group are still very active in northern and eastern Nigeria and neighbouring countries, Niger, Chad, Mali and Senegal where United Nations agencies estimate thousands of schools have been closed and up to a million children forced out of education.

Ironically, on Wednesday (23 December) Boko Haram rebels carried out four attacks on villages in Niger, Chad and Cameroon, killing at least seven people including two soldiers and three civilians in Niger’s southern border town of Abadam. On the same day, Nigeria’s Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, reiterated the President’s message that the Nigerian military had met the December deadline promised by Buhari on assuming office.

"Today, I can report that the war against Boko Haram is largely won," Mohammed said to a group of journalists in Lagos.

"I can confidently say this because just recently, I led a group of 33 journalists from both the local and international media to the hot bed of the insurgency, that is, Maiduguri, Kondugua, Kaoure and Bama," he added.

"Today, I can report to you that the entire 70 plus kilometers stretch from Maiduguri to Bama and all the way to Banki which leads to Cameroun and the Central African Republic are in the hands of our gallant troops," he added. (Sarcasm alert! Wow, all of 70 kilometers (about 42 miles) in a country of 950,000 square kilometers (356,000 square miles), that really a comprehensive victory for the government

The minister also said that the Nigerian army had so degraded Boko Haram’s capabilities that the terrorists can no longer hold on to any territory or mount attacks. News reports from agencies including Reuters and Agence France-Presse (AFP) contradict this.

In mitigation of their hyperbolic claims, Nigerian officials highlighted differences between fighting a terror group and conventional warfare, since terrorists can continue launching isolated attacks even when substantially beaten. In other words, as we have always warned, when terrorist groups encounter determined resistance, they simply disperse and regroup in areas where government forces are less well organised. Unlike a war between two armies, an insureection is never ended with military victory. Even in places such as Colombia where a long lasting rebellion was officially ended decades ago, attacks are still mounted by the ideological successors of the rebels.

Mohammed admitted that in Nigeria the jihadists are directing their attacks on soft targets such as schools, parking lots and gathering places, looking to spread fear and panic by killing civilians, mostly women and children. The Boko Haram group, which pledged its allegiance to the Islamic State earlier this year, has killed tens of thousands of people during its six-year rebellion, displacing more than 2 million people in the process.

Boko Haram Winning On Massive Scale In Northern Nigeria — 1 Million Violently Forced Out of Schools



A school in Nigeraia following a visit by Boko Haram educators who lectured on the superiority of Islamic education


We have not heard much of Boko Haram, the Islamic extremist group operating in Nigeria and neighboring countries Niger, Chad and Mali for a while, most news has been dominated by Syria and the middle east, and and there are neither enough time nor enough resources to report or discuss everything that happens in the world, especially for a little club for old guys who still believe there is more to life than sitting around playing dominoes which is what The Daily Stirrer is.

This lack of reporting however has led to some people, mostly the ill informed but in some cases the delusional to believe Nigeria's new Muslim dominated government has defeated the extremists (see story above). In fact Boko Haram are stronger than ever in northern Nigeria, the area where their strength always lay. Their attacks throughout the year have forced more than 1 million children out of school, heightening the risk they will be abused, abducted or recruited by armed groups, the United Nations children’s agency stated in a press release (Tuesday 22-Dec-15).

(Sarcasm alert: heave sarcasm indulged in at the end of the article)

The conflict has forced the closure of over than 2,000 schools in Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad and Niger, the agency said. Some have been looted or set on fire by the insurgent group whose name means “Western education is sinful.”

“The conflict has been a huge blow for education in the region, and violence has kept many children out of the classroom for more than a year, putting them at risk of dropping out of school altogether,” said Manuel Fontaine, UNICEF’s West and Central Africa Regional Director. "Before the crisis, an estimated 11 million children of primary school age were already out of school in the four neighboring countries where Boko Haram stages attacks," he added.

Schools in northeastern Nigeria are reopening, but many classes are overcrowded or the buildings are being used as refuges for people displaced by the conflict. Fear of reprisals is also preventing teachers from going back to classes. About 600 teachers have been killed during Boko Haram’s six-year insurgency, according to the press release.

“The challenge we face is to keep children safe without interrupting their schooling,” Fontaine told reporters. “Schools have been targets of attack, so children are scared to go back to the classroom, yet the longer they stay out of school, the greater the risks of being abused, abducted and recruited by armed groups.”

Boko Haram’s insurrection has so far resulted in about 20,000 dead and 2.3 million displaced from their homes, according to Amnesty International and United Nations estimates.

This story made us Stirrers sit up and go HUH, WHAT? Sub Saharan Africans, the most enlightened and wonderfully wonderful ethnic group on the planet are killing, raping, kidnapping, enslaving other Sub Saharan African's and destroying schools, homes and villages in the name of Islam?

Haven't they heard that #BlackLivesMatter or that Islam is the Religion of Peace?

They should make viewing BBC News 24 and BBC current affairs programmes and reading The Guardian or the New York Times compulsory for all Africans in Africa .... sounds like the bastards need some brainwashing about how everything is Whitey's fault.

Or perhaps this is just a case of modern day Africans behaving exactly as their ancestors have since Time began.Maybe it's cultural?

Five Suicide Bombings Target Chad, Killing Over 40 People - Boko Haram Blamed.



Boko Haram cell in Chad

With all the attention focused on Syria, Yemen and Ukraine we tend to overlook that nasty little war against Islamic Extremists Boko Haram in central Africa. But if you are a gambler we'd suggest that now Vladimir Putin has tired of Saudi Arabian puppet Barack Obama pussyfooting around in Syria and has taken it upon himself to kick the collective arse of ISIS, Al Nusra and Al Qaeda, the min theatre of the war against extremism will move to Africa.

Could this be the beginning?

Chad (sources: Associated Press, Agencie Presse France) — A village in Chad, one of the world's poorest nations, was targeted by terrorists on Saturday. The village in a region of Chad that is home to thousands of Nigerian refugees forced to flee from their homes by the brutal violence of Islamic extremist group Boko Haram, was devastated by at leat five sucicide bombing attacks which killed at least 36 people and left about 50 others wounded. Officials said the attacks appeared to be coordinated.

Authorities in Chad have blamed extremists from neighboring Nigeria for staging the attacks in the western village of Baga Sola. A communique from government spokesman Hassan Sylla Bakari claimed at least 41 people had died, including the five suicide bombers who were identified as two women, two children and a man. Some of the wounded are in a critical condition and are not expected to survive.

A group of suicide bombers, all thought to be female, hit the market in Baga Sola at its busiest time on Saturday, killing at least 16 people, the head of Chad's gendarmerie, Gen. Banyaman Cossingar said. A second group of suicide bombers killed at least 22 people at a nearby refugee camp, he said, although the final death toll from that attack is not known.

There were conflicting reports on the number of wounded. The government's official count was 48, while UNICEF said at least 53 people were wounded, including 14 children. Police spokesman Paul Manka said the attackers staged five bombings, adding that two were near the refugee camp but not in it. News agencies in Africa, prinicipally associated Press and Agencie Presse France said it was not immediately possible to independently verify the differing claims due to the extremely remote location of the attacks.

For months, Baga Sola has been home to thousands of people who already had fled deadly Boko Haram attacks in Nigeria. The U.N. says the Dar-es-Salam camp now has just over 3,000 refugees, and can house up to 15,000. The village is in the Lake Chad region near the border with Nigeria, where Boko Haram first launched its insurgency six years ago. Amnesty International says the uprising has killed 20,000 people. While Boko Haram has attacked Chad's capital before, the bombings on Saturday appear to be the largest and most elaborate staged yet in the country's lake region.

Boko Haram attacks town inside Niger - Where Next?


Boko Haram fighters

NIAME, Niger: Boko Haram fighters from Nigeria attacked Niamey, a border town inside the neighboring country of Niger, marking the third attack on a foreign country attacked by the Nigeria based Boko Haram group in several days. The Islamic extremists are also reported to have launched attacks in Camerooon and Benin.

The expansion of Boko Haram aggression came as regional leaders meet for a second day in the Cameroonian capital to discuss plans for a combined military response to the terrorist group already said to be responsible for killing 10,000 people in nigeria over the past year.

On Wednesday and Thursday, (4.5 Frebury 2015,) heavily armed Boko Haram fighters attacked a town in Cameroon, leaving nearly 100 people dead and some 500 others wounded, according to Cameroonian officials.

Reports from government officials in the border town of Bosso, Niger said Boko Haram militants attacked the community early Friday and that soldiers fought an hour-long battle with them that caused the Boko Haram members to withdraw, leaving the streets deserted.

“Niger and Chadian planes are conducting surveillance at the moment in town and troops on the ground are combing through the streets,” local official Abar Hassan told Associated Press.

After several of their combat groups were bombed as they approached Nigerian towns, hundreds of Boko Haram fighters responded by attacking Fotokol in Cameroon earlier in the week, burning churches and warning Nigeria’s neighbors not to help Nigeria oppose their insurgency.

Last week, African Union leaders authorized a 7,500-strong force to fight the extremists, including pledges of troops from Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Benin.

While the world has been looking the other way, Boko Haram has been conquering Nigeria

One story that has slipped away from us recently as we have tried to bring you a fair and balanced view of the Ched Evans With Hunt, the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack, ships full of migrants abandoned in The Adriatic and the collapse of the Petrodollar amongs other catastrophe's that have happened, are happening or are waiting to happen, has been the progress of the Boko Haram rebellion in Nigeria.

Thought they were just another bunch of nutters who did a few kidnappings and a few bomb outrages and then went away did you. Well you thought wrong.

Boko Haram controls about 20,000 square miles of territory and is fast becoming a terrorist state razing villages and killing innocent victims

boko hram atrocity
The scene of yet another Boko Haram atrocity (source London Evening Post). People have complained this is a gut curdling image. We say it's justified, see final paragraph.
After days of razing villages and pitiless massacre, Boko Haram finished the first week of a new year week with its most horrifying atrocity to date.

As people bustled through the Saturday market in the Nigerian city of Maiduguri, a device borne by a ten year-old girl exploded near the entrance.

A witness said the girl probably had no idea that a bomb had been strapped to her body.

The explosion just before lunch killed 20, including the girl, and injured 18, according to the police.

Boko Haram did not immediately claim the attack, but the Islamic insurgents have increasingly used young girls as human bombs as they carve an African "Caliphate” from the plains of northern Nigeria.

Today, Boko Haram controls about 20,000 square miles of territory - an area the size of Belgium. Within this domain, the black flag of jihad flies over scores of towns and villages scattered across the neighbouring states of Borno and Yobe.

The latest conquest was the fishing town of Baga on the shores of Lake Chad, which fell to the Islamists last Wednesday.

We should not forget that last year our friend Little Nicky Machiavelli reported on a Wikileaks revelation that Boko Haram was yet another terrorist operaton funded, armed and trained by the American CIA

We agree it is a gut curdling image. I thought it was time to remind those still singing the praises of multiculturalism and uncontrolled immigration just what is waiting out there to be imported into our green and pleasant land. The politically correct though police will say it is not typical of Africa. True, in fact the Boko Haram scum aren't typical of Nigeria, I've read there are about 50,000 of them in a population if nearly 150 million. But that does not change the the fact that the terrorists are winning and Goodluck Jonathan's good luck has run out.
