Nigeria is bleeding.
Far away from the noise of politics in Abuja, thousands of families in villages across the Middle Belt and Southern Nigeria go to sleep every night not knowing if they will wake up alive.

A new report released recently by the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom paints a frightening picture of what is happening across Nigeria. According to the report, an estimated 30,000 armed Fulani militants are operating across the country in groups ranging from 10 to 1,000 members.
The report describes them as some of the deadliest non-state actors in Nigeria today.
