Stop Ethnic Violence in Nigeria

Thu, April 1, 2010 4:57:22 PMFrom: Care2 Action Alerts

Over 10,000 lives have been claimed due to ethnic clashes between the indigenous peoples and the settlers of Nigeria--and that number is on the rise. With the recent massacres and increasing unrest between Nigerians, we must tell the Nigerian government work to create a peaceful environment for all »

Legislation passed with the 1999 Constitution ensures the inalienable rights of every Nigerian citizen, but the government has failed to successfully enforce these laws.

The ethnic tensions between the "indigene" and the "non-indigene" Nigerians are exacerbated by a lack of government involvement and, unless stopped, will continue to segregate Nigerians and breed violence.

"Non-indigenes" must be treated just as other citizens in their own country.

Take action and tell the Nigerian government to end institutional discrimination against non-indigenes »

Thanks for taking action!
