Whilst many in the West are primarily concerned with their own issues, their own nation’s economic and political failures and the threat of violent jihad to the residents of London, Paris, Berlin, Rome and elsewhere, we should not ignore what has become ‘the forgotten jihad’ in Africa. Of course it’s completely natural that those in the West should primarily consider their own problems, their own strengths and weaknesses, that doesn’t mean we should forget those elsewhere in the world who are suffering under the jackboot of jihad.
How many front page articles in the more popular newspapers, what we in the UK call ‘the red tops’ about this forgotten jihad in places like Northern Nigeria? I can almost completely guarantee that there will not be many. What’s happening to the poor people, especially the Christian ones, in Northern Nigeria is monstrous. We in the West at least have some peace, those in Northern Nigeria and other places across Africa from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean do not get any.
Morning Star News, a Christian news outlet (h/t ROP) is carrying a story about an attack by Muslim Fulani tribesmen on a village full of Christians.
They said:
Slaughters of Christians continued in Plateau state, Nigeria on Friday (May 8) as Fulani herdsmen killed 13 Christians in Bassa County, sources said.
Muslim Fulani gunmen killed the Christians in a pre-dawn attack on Ngbra Zongo community in Kwall District, said Joseph Chudu Yonkpa, spokesperson of area Miango communities in a statement issued in Jos.
Among those killed were three pregnant women, he said.
“The attack has left dozens of other Christians injured, hundreds of others displaced,” Yonkpa said.
Resident Lawrence Zongo said Christians in the community have suffered prior attacks.

It is shameful that so many people in Africa have suffered so much from multiple attacks by Jihadis but most people in the West have no idea it is happening. Our fellow human beings are being slaughtered en masse in Africa by the followers of an ideology that is also going to be a major threat to us in the West as well as in Africa, yet hardly anybody in the West knows what is happening in Africa with regards to these jihad attacks. We should no longer ignore the forgotten jihad just because it’s Africans as victims because that in my view is breaking the Biblical rule that all life is sacred and all life should be where possible protected.

You have written positively about Kemi Badenoch on a number of occasions. Imho one of her strengths is that she has personal experience of living in a country where this is happening and will be under no illusions about the consequences of allowing jihadism to grow unchallenged in this country, ditto for the consequences and effects of socialism ( albeit the fake and corrupt version typically seen in Africa).
BTW thanks for for your analysis of the local elections recently, l found details about you gave about Oldham very interesting.

I do not think it is ignored “just because it’s Africans as victims”, think how much Jihadist attacks are down-played in the West as well, or we are told (so to speak) that they have “Nothing to do with Islam”, the real cause is that the perp is “mentally ill”, or had an “episode” (rather like a TV show I presume?), is a “lone wolf/actor”, how the emphasis is always on the failings of the Police / security services etc., never on the religion and beliefs of the perp – even when they make “martyrdom vidoes” and explicitly state why they are doing what they are doing. All this to deflect any serious thought about the issue away from Islam (which MUST NOT be criticised) and onto us – thus effectively victim-blaming us (if only we were more welcoming, gave them more benefits, tried harder to prevent them feeling ‘alienated’ – this notwithstanding the fact that the multicultural paradigm promotes separatism, which Islam also does along with the demonisation of non-Muslims, thereby ensuring that parallel societies emerge). I know you have considered this over many years, so you, too, will be aware that all the excuses I have listed above have been trotted out at various times to exhonourate Islam from any involvement.
I think the reasons these African victims are ignored are:
(1) because our governments across the west and the compliant media realise what could happen if our populations really woke up to what has been foisted on them, at times I think hanging from lamposts might result.
(2) the elites Pavlovian Islamopandering means that these attacks cannot be spoken of, or – as I have seen reported – are just put down to “intercommunal tensions”, usually ascribed to the Fulani being, not violent Jihadists, but herders whose progress across the land is interrupted by the Christian farmers farms. That only one side visits violence on the other is, inevitably, forgotten.
(3) In this our elites see one terrifying vision of the future of the UK. It is not as if the Fulani (for example) are a majority (they are roughly 7.5%), yet they can slaughter often with impunity (not always to be fair, in Sept.2025 the Nigerian army killed some terrorists and captured others – numbers vary) largely because of the fact that Nigeria is governed by Muslims in the executive branch and – probably – the legislature.
(Am I the only one to see a parallel with the way the the Islamic child-rape gangs in the UK were allowed to operate with impunity and the link to – in many cases – deep Muslim involvement in the local government?)
(4) To really recognise what is going in in Africa (up to and including Libyan slave markets for “al-ibeed” incidently) would utterly undermine the elites most hard-held pre-conceptions of the world, hence the solution is to ignore it.
