Where is the mainstream news on this?! I found a small article on it in the Daily Mail but no one else is covering it. Where’s the U.N.? Where’s the outrage?

Nigerian villagers wailed in the streets as dump trucks carried hundreds of bodies past burned-out homes towards a mass grave.

This was the scene of insurmountable grief after rioters armed with machetes slaughtered more than 500 people in a revenge attack following religious clashes near Nigeria’s city of Jos.

The killers had shown no mercy. They didn’t spare women and children, or even a four-day-old baby, from their machetes. In one area alone, five babies and 28 children aged five or less were killed.Rubber-gloved workers pulled ever-smaller bodies from the dump truck and tossed them into the mass grave.

A crowd began singing a hymn with the refrain, ‘Jesus said I am the way to heaven.’ As the grave filled, the grieving crowd sang: ‘Jesus, show me the way.’

The violence in three mostly Christian villages appeared to be reprisal attacks following the January unrest in Jos – when most of the victims were Muslims. There is a long history of local tension between Muslims and Christians. Mass burials for the victims will take place later today.

These people weren’t simply hacked to death, many of them were horrifically tortured first. They found the body of a child who had had it’s hands cut off and had been scalped. Some had their feet cut off before being murdered. Bodies of women half unclothed suggests some of them were raped.

But, you know, the Mainstream Media and the U.N. and all those Human Rights organizations also ignored the rioting in September 2001 there that killed more than 1,000 people and Muslim-Christian battles killed up to 700 people in 2004. More than 300 residents died during a similar uprising in 2008. Of course, these people’s lives don’t count because, hey you know, if Israel isn’t involved in some way then it is unthinkable that any kind of attention should be paid to this. These people were simply unarmed villagers sleeping peacefully in their homes and there weren’t thousands of militants among them launching rockets and shooting at Israeli civilians, so of course the attacks on them can’t be considered an atrocity or war crime or anything like that. Nothing worthy of condemnation or notice.
