[DeathHand]

The Nigerian conflict is an armed conflict of militant groups, different representatives of religious groupings and the government of Nigeria.

There exist several religions in Nigeria, helping to accentuate regional and ethnic distinctions.

The 2010 Jos riots were clashes between Muslim and Christian ethnic groups in central Nigeria near the city of Jos. The area has been plagued by violence for the past twenty years motivated by multiple factors.

The clashes have been characterized as "religious violence" by many news sources, although others cite ethnic and economic differences as the root of the violence.
