Pregnant Woman Flees Fulani Militia
Source excerpt
Hours before giving birth to her first child, a 22-year-old mother became a widow after an Islamic Fulani militia attacked her rural community in Nigeria. The attack, which occurred between June 21 and June 22, claimed 22 lives. On June 21, Longdi ThankGod and her 26-year-old husband headed to a clinic, excitedly preparing for the birth of their baby. Her husband’s brother, father, mother, and grandmother came along to support them through the long hours of labor. At 12:10 a.m., dozens of men arrived on foot, dressed in military fatigues.
