Nigeria has long been an epicenter of Christian persecution, with more killed for their faith in Nigeria than in the rest of the world combined. More than 7,000 Christians had been killed during the first 220 days of 2025, a civil-society watchdog said.
Water scarcity, oil pollution, environmental degradation, manifest corruption, and enormous income inequality are fueling the tribal wars in Nigeria, not religious differences as Islamophobes would have you believe. These problems led to the growth of 'Boko Haram' (meaning 'the West is sinful') and the MEND: Link One /// Link Two
In the Sahel, the Tuaregs are similarly fighting against Western imperialism and the environmental degradation left behind by the French uranium mining industry so they end up joining AQIM. For decades the Naxalites (Maoists) in India have been fighting the oppressive Hindu-caste system which keeps the Untouchables (Dalits) at the bottom.
Prima facie all of these conflicts may look religious in nature, but they are all about economic, social, environmental, and political injustices.
