#UNpeacebuildingNG #ShiftingthenarrativeNGFulani farmers crisis in Benue state Nigeria. (Full length) Building a peace narrative.

The relationship between farmers and the Fulanis herdsmen in Nigeria's middle belt region is one that has been disfigured in a lot of ways. Both people need eachother especially the Fulanis that need water and green grass for their cattle to feed on. The Fulani farmers crisis in Benue state is hindering this reality. The Fulanis are cattle breeders that move their cattle herds from the sahel savannah to the savannah region of Benue state, Nassarawa and Taraba states in search of water and green pastures for them to feed .And the inhabitants of Benue state are largely farmers.

In the course of this search for greener pastures, their cattle graze into the farmland of the locals and this leads to fighting between the farmers and the Fulanis leading to the Fulani farmers crisis in Benue stateIn this documentary project in partnership with the UNDP we visited the affected Communities to bring a peace building narrative in other that peace might return to the region.
