Southern Kaduna Indigenes in Diaspora Condemn Attacks, Killings

 

Southern Kaduna indigenes living in Europe have condemned the recent attacks and killings in Southern Kaduna by suspected Fulani herdsmen, criticizing the inability of both the Federal and state governments to end the bloodshed. - The group, known as Southern Kaduna People in Diaspora (SOKAPDA), particularly condemned the attacks in Zangon Kataf community, where 33 people were killed and several others injured. - They noted that this attack occurred just four months after 38 villagers were killed in Malagum, Kamuru–Ikulu, and Abun (Broni Prono) in Southern Kaduna, and expressed concern over the lack of empathy and support from the state's political leadership. - SOKAPDA questioned the silence of retired military personnel, lawyers, doctors, nurses, journalists, and other influential individuals from Southern Kaduna, urging them to speak out against the violence and advocate for the protection of their people. - The group also called on traditional leaders to unite and offer advice to the state and federal governments on how to prevent violence in Southern Kaduna, while reminding them of their capacity to stem the violence. - They acknowledged the voices of SOKAPU President Dio Maisamari, Zubair Abdurra'uf, CAN, and youth groups, but stressed the need for more concerted efforts, including the use of technology to track and apprehend the perpetrators. - SOKAPDA expressed frustration over the lack of action to end the violence, considering it a planned case of genocide that has turned Southern Kaduna into a mass burial site.
