Nigeria: Christians Killed in North
By The
Associated Press
6 January 2012
Gunmen from a radical Muslim sect attacked a town hall on Friday
in rural northeast Nigeria, killing at least 20 people who had
gathered for a meeting of a Christian ethnic group in Mubi in Adamawa State,
the police said. The attack at noon targeted a town hall where Christian Igbo
people were holding a meeting. The attack, for which the sect, Boko Haram,
claimed responsibility, came after the group threatened to begin specifically
singling out Christians living in the country’s Muslim north in its
increasingly bloody sectarian fight with Nigeria’s weak central government. (Read More)

3,000 Deaths in Ethnic Violence in South
Sudan
by Jeffrey
Gettleman, The New
York Times
5 January 2012
In the
past two weeks, United Nations aircraft had been tracking an unusually large
column of 6,000 to 8,000 heavily armed fighters from the Lou Nuer ethnic group
as it advanced toward the town of Pibor, cutting a swath of destruction across
the savanna. Pibor is the hometown of the Lou Nuer’s traditional rival, the
Murle, and the two groups have been locked in a tit-for-tat cattle rustling
feud for years, with the death toll steadily rising each round.
According
to Joshua Konyi, the commissioner of Pibor County and a Murle, 2,182 women and
children and 959 men were killed, 1,293 children were abducted and 375,186 cows
were stolen.
“We’ve
been counting the bodies,” Mr. Konyi said by telephone from Pibor on Thursday
night. “It’s really a genocide. If you come, you will see.” (Read More).

GENOCIDE and POLITICIDE ALERT: NORTH KOREA
The Kim regimes have committed genocide and political mass killings since the creation of North Korea. Genocide Watch has ample proof that genocide has been committed and mass killing is still underway in North Korea. Our prediction is that when North Korean people eventually rise up against their totalitarian government, which is almost inevitable, North Korea’s powerful million-man army, now armed with nuclear weapons, will be used to crush the revolt. We predict that North Korea could become the worst politicide since World War Two. (read more)
