| Fears in Nigeria over Repeat of Election Violence |
| 2015-01-29 |
| [AnNahar] All that's left of the Moslem neighborhood in Madakiya, in Nigeria's northwestern Kaduna state, are decomposing bricks and graffiti-covered walls standing in fields of charred grass. Moslems and Christians once lived together in the village but Madakiya's entire Moslem population fled to a nearby town in rioting after the 2011 presidential election. With Nigerians set to vote again next month, people in the religiously mixed state are wary of a repeat after houses were looted, markets burned, and people killed in the streets. |
