Nigeria continues to see the ground soaked in Christian blood as islamic herders continue their rampages.
From SF Gate:
Authorities say gunmen attacked a village outside a central Nigerian city beset by ethnic and religious slayings, killing at least nine people.
The attack happened overnight Thursday in a village called Tsohon Foron, near the city of Jos, which sits on the dividing line between Nigeria's largely Christian south and Muslim north.
Mark Lipdo, a coordinator for a Christian group called the Stefanos Foundation, told journalists Friday that gunmen killed seven children and their father, as well as a neighbor during the attack. Lipdo said witnesses blamed the attack on Muslim Fulani herders in the region.
The widespread attacks against Christian Africans has ramped up in several countries and we need to be prepared for what may just turn out to be several "Sudans" across central Africa. We have seen several islamic terror groups, mainly al Qaeda, designate Africa as their next frontier. It is a helluva prize for the islamists and it is apparent that the Christians are the first targets.

Jos is the capital of Plateau state, which sits in Nigeria's "middle belt," where dozens of ethnic groups vie for control of fertile lands and political and economic power.
