The violence has displaced at least 12 million Christians since 2009, according to Intersociety. That year marked the start of Boko Haram's insurgency to establish a caliphate in Nigeria and the broader Sahel.

In the 16 years since, it's estimated that 189,000 civilians have been killed - 125,000 of whom were Christians and 60,000 liberal Muslims.

"The Islamic terrorists seem to be more targeted, but they aren't above killing their own."

So were the Germans.

"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..."

Thank you for those links with additional information. However, you're either arguing against a straw man that religion is the only cause of these conflicts (which no one has claimed), or you're promoting a false premise that religion plays little or no role at all. 'Boko Haram', which literally means 'Education is sinful', is an extremist Islamic sect. Of course, groups like that always conflate secular grievances with their cause to gain sympathy for their activities.

By parroting the anti-western narrative, you're playing right into the hand of the local xenophobes and bigots, as well as outsiders like the Russians and Chinese who've been stoking that so they can exploit African countries themselves.
