Stefanos featured in CBN news bulletin
12th December 2010US broadcasting network CBN publicised the plight of Christians in northern Nigeria in a release today. See the full report at
The release follows Mark Lipdo’s visit to the US where he was interviewed by CBN. The report mentions
- the hundreds of Christians hacked to death or burned alive in planned attacks
- the supply of AK47’s to the nomadic people fronting the attacks
- the active involvement of Nigeria’s military forces in the genocide
- the Nigerian Government’s weak response, empty promises to curb the atrocities, and absence of even one prosecution to date at that time
- calls for intervention from several human rights groups
Mark was accompanied in the US by Dr David Carling, a retired doctor who spent many years in Nigeria and now supports Mark in his relief and advocacy work. In the report, Dr Carling comments on
- the militant jihadic desire to bring Islam to the whole of Nigeria
- the strategic role of Nigeria in greater plans to spread Islam throughout Africa
- the need for prayer and financial resources to support victims and advocacy
The report makes clear that whilst we advocate for justice, we are opposed to retaliation or violence, stressing the love and forgiveness which lies at the heart of Christ's message.
