Christian Farmers Driven from Their Lands

[6] prayers in [2] nations have been posted for Christians in Niger.

Many Christians have been displaced in Niger, including farmers from rural areas who need to reach their croplands to harvest their crops but struggle to do so because of ongoing threats. “Christians in Niger face danger and challenges,” said a front-line worker. In western Niger, the violent JNIM Islamist group is very active. Its name is an acronym for the Arabic phrase “The Group Supporting Islam and Muslims” and is an offshoot of al-Qaida. JNIM fighters have been attacking Christians in western Niger and also in parts of Mali and Burkina Faso since the group formed in 2017. “Christians are forced to leave their villages and all their belongings to save their lives from the death threats,” the front-line worker said. “Most of the Christian population has been displaced.”
