ON OCTOBER 26, 2021, FULANI HERDSMEN KILLED THE HUSBAND OF 20-YEAR-OLD EMBER AMEE. SHE was pregnant at the time and came home to find her husband in a pool of his own blood.

She and her baby only survived because she pretended to be dead. As a result of this violence, Ember’s mental health is permanently impaired. She suffers from manic episodes and is stigmatized by her community. Ember spoke about her experiences with Aid to the Church in Need.

Can you tell us more about the day you lost your husband?

October 26, 2021 is a day I am trying to forget. That fateful day, my husband and I were farming close to our village. I was heavily pregnant then. My husband noticed I was sad and asked what the problem was. I answered that I didn’t know but that I was feeling sad and uneasy, and confused in my thoughts.

Upon my return, I could not find my husband, but I was not worried at first. I looked around, but there was no sign of him anywhere on the farm. Then I became tense and worried; I started calling out his name repeatedly! I ran from one side of the farm to the other. Suddenly, I......

The wonderful peaceful continent of Africa. Where all blacks get along and invented everything.

The Fulani aren’t necessarily ISIS types, just Muslim supremacist conquest covet-your-neighbor’s-land types.

And the president and much of the army are Fulani, so they aren’t really invested in keeping the peace.

Obama’s administration supported the Fulani president.
