Nigeria (MNN) ― Christians have again been the focus of violence over the weekend in Jos, Nigeria.
Open Doors is a ministry to the persecuted church and has work in the region. Open Doors' Paul Estabrooks says, "It's a hotly-contested part of the country that separates the Muslim north from the predominately-Christian south."
Estabrooks describes the violence: "At least 200 people were killed in the rioting [Sunday]--most of them Christians. The descriptions are not to be repeated on the air. The bodies are beyond recognition in some cases; the babies included with their mothers, and it's a pretty sad story."
Similar violence less than two months ago left more than 300 Christians dead and churches burned.
