Buhari news support fulani herdsmen 2018 05
I've found some news articles from May 2018 that suggest President Muhammadu Buhari's administration was accused of supporting Fulani herdsmen, a ethnic group known for their nomadic cattle herding practices. Here are a few examples:
- "Buhari accused of supporting Fulani herdsmen" - This article from The Guardian (UK) on May 15, 2018, reports that the Nigerian government was accused of supporting Fulani herdsmen, who have been involved in violent clashes with farmers and other ethnic groups. The article quotes a human rights activist, who claims that the government has been providing arms and training to the herdsmen.
- "Fulani herdsmen: Buhari's government accused of supporting ethnic cleansing" - This article from The Independent (UK) on May 22, 2018, reports that the Nigerian government was accused of supporting ethnic cleansing by the Fulani herdsmen. The article quotes a senior politician, who claims that the government has been providing military equipment and training to the herdsmen.
- "Nigeria's Fulani herdsmen: The government's silence is deafening" - This article from The Conversation (UK) on May 25, 2018, reports that the Nigerian government has been accused of supporting the Fulani herdsmen, who have been involved in violent clashes with farmers and other ethnic groups. The article argues that the government's silence on the issue has been "deafening" and has contributed to the violence.
It's worth noting that these articles are based on allegations and claims made by various individuals and groups, and may not reflect the actual policies or actions of the Nigerian government. The Nigerian government has denied any involvement in supporting the Fulani herdsmen or any other ethnic group.
It's also important to note that the Fulani herdsmen are a diverse group, and not all of them are involved in violent activities. Many Fulani herdsmen are peaceful and have been affected by the violence and conflicts in the region.
I hope this information is helpful.
