Nigeria, A hurting land

I just bumped into this article about Nigeria through the Not Ashamed Facebook page. 

Source: foreignpolicy.com

"Last week Plateau State, of which Jos is the capital, was subjected to a series of attacks. After allegations of an animal theft, Ferom was attacked twice on 4 August with eight members of one family killed in the first attack and a further three people killed in the second. On 14th August, Muslim rioters took to the streets in north Jos and killed three Christians by machetes. The Residents of Jwol community reported an attack on Friday in which one person was killed. There was another slaughter at Hiepand leaving at least 8 dead, some with gunshot wounds." ~ Christian Concern

Having seen this and wanting to get involved, I have found some links to stay updated on the situation and wanted to share them.

• A horrifying video about the situation in Jos as well as a website of information about events to support Nigeria here: Love Jos.
• A campaign to support people in Nigeria affected by the violence: Stefanos Foundation

If you know of other charities directly involved with this violence and ways to support them, please do comment and I will update this post.
