Over 50,000 Christians have been killed in Nigeria since the outbreak of the Boko Haram Islamist insurgency in 2009. In the same period 18,000 Christian churches and 2,200 Christian schools were set ablaze. Approximately 34,000 moderate Muslims also died in Islamist attacks. The attacks have led to mass forcible displacement. About 5 million Christians have been displaced and forced into Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps within Nigeria and refugee camps at regional and sub-regional borders, according to an Intersociety report. What is the cause of this genocidal terror?

Mass killing is defined as deliberate actions of armed groups that result in the deaths of at least 1000 noncombatant civilians, targeted as part of a group, in 12 months or less. These countries are all in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. What is behind this widespread violence erupting in so many places?
