TL;DR Summary
At least 30 people have been killed in renewed violence between Muslim herders and Christian farming communities in Nigeria’s central Plateau State, with a 24-hour curfew imposed in the affected district. The clashes are rooted in tensions over land and have been exacerbated by climate change and population rise, leading to reprisal attacks and broader criminality. The conflict has also seeped into other parts of Nigeria, prompting calls for intensified efforts to secure lives and properties and prevent further escalation.
