  • Kenya: bus attack

    Morning Star News

    Following two attacks in northern Kenya in November killing 64 people, gunmen on 19 December sprayed a passenger bus with bullets on Kenya’s coast, but stopped the assault after learning that all the passengers were Muslims.

    ‘The bus stopped and the attackers got inside the bus, but stopped the intended operation plan’, said one of the passengers. ‘The attackers had us pray to Allah. Almost all these passengers are women and Muslims.’

  • Nigeria: more killings

    Morning Star News

    Muslim Fulani herdsmen killed five Christians in one state, including an infant boy, and ten in another, on 17 December.

    They attacked at about 4am when military soldiers on routine patrol had just left the village, setting fire to church buildings and houses as they killed the Christians. The second attack was apparently in retaliation for soldiers shooting a Muslim herdsman to death after he stabbed a soldier trying to arrest him for attacking a Christian farmer.
