Whole Christian villages wiped out, media silent - Metro Voice News


"Another week. Hundreds more dead and wounded Christians lay in villages in Nigeria while the world sleeps. Brothers and sisters in Christ were the target of yet more bloody attacks in the last seven days as Boko Haram terrorists captured the town of Michika in Nigeria’s far eastern state of Adamawa.

It was a scorched earth attack with little left standing and few people left alive.This time, however, the terrorists exchanging fire with government troops but the response was not enough to save families.

According to an op-ed in the Washington Examiner by journalist Douglas Burton, the attack continued for hours with an unknown number of casualties, although initial reports mentioned: “scores killed.” Burton is a member of the advisory board for Save the Persecuted Christians (STPC), which advocates on behalf of more than 300 million persecuted Christians around the globe."

So sad no reporting of this in our media.

Five million people have perished in Central African conflict and the media is mostly silent about it. You have been silent too, until now that some of the victims were Christians.

Can't say anything if we don't know about it.

There is an Ebola outbreak right now in Congo, but the media doesn't talk about it.

You seemed upset the media wasn't talking about the Christians who were killed, but the silence has nothing to do with their religion. They don't talk about it because no one cares about what happens in Africa.

Here is what Snopes says about your article. The True/False verdict is "mixture", because it fails to explain what the Nigerian conflict is about (dispute over natural resources and land usage), and it left out the fact the Christians had killed 130 muslims earlier.

The media has said nothing about this conflict. Must not be news to them.

Like I said, hardly anyone cares what happens in Africa. Those who do care, know what is happening there, and that five million people have been killed.

but it is hard to keep up on all of the latest.. I have watching China and middle east more closely .. I really haven't looked at africa.. Except i have prayed often about the Lord'S outpouring there.. I CHECK To see where there is huge numbers of christians being saved in huge meetings of thousands of believers.. THEYARE Being healed and set free . So i pray for them but..

But it is hard to keep up on all of the horrors mankind can Do to each other , some have to
fight to just to keep their families safe and fed.
And I am convinced that the Sons does not condemn them for protecting their own homes.

I am convinced it is a problem only THE FATHER'S KINGDOM coming/ "THY KINGDOM COME " , THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.. ONLY HE can solve IT .
Civilized men aren't .. And greedy and nasty is not controlled OR IN ANYWAY MANAGED by
civilized men who aren't really..
"NATION WILL RISE AGAINST NATION ... BUT THE END IS NOT YET...." WE CAN ONLY PRAY AND PREPARE AND PROVIDE FOR THE MOST PEACEFUL AS MUCH AS IS POSSIBLE.

How do you know this isn’t the exact way god wanted these xians killed in order to enter its glorious kingdom?

God does have a plan, right?
