TENSION RISES AS FULANI COMMUNITIES FACE ATTACKS IN WEST AFRICA

TENSION RISES AS FULANI COMMUNITIES FACE ATTACKS IN WEST AFRICA

Tensions are reaching a boiling point in West Africa as attacks against Fulani communities in Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger escalate, leading to mass displacement and deepening ethnic divides.

Reports indicate that government-backed militias in Burkina Faso have been involved in deadly assaults on Fulani civilians, though authorities have strongly denied any involvement.

Nevertheless, the situation continues to deteriorate as ethnic and security conflicts spiral out of control.

In Mali and Niger, Fulani populations are increasingly becoming targets of retaliation due to their perceived connections with armed groups operating in the region.

While some Fulani individuals have indeed joined extremist factions, entire communities now face suspicion, forced evictions, and violent reprisals.

Many have been driven from their homes as local militias and civilian groups take matters into their own hands, intensifying the crisis.

As instability worsens, fears are growing that the conflict could spread beyond these nations, affecting Nigeria, Sudan, and Cameroon.

In Nigeria, tensions are already on the rise, fueled by the resurgence of the Hausawa Tsantsa Development Association (HTDA), led by Hajiya Kaltum Alumbe Jitami.

This group is actively calling for the eviction of Fulanis from Hausa territories, citing historical grievances and long-standing oppression of the Hausa people.

Jitami, a bold and outspoken activist, has taken to social media, Jaruma Hausa TV 24, and public forums to rally Hausas in what she calls a “final stand” against Fulani dominance.”

She accuses the Fulani of manipulating religion and politics for their own advantage, leading to decades of Hausa marginalization.

In a dramatic statement, the …..Jigawa born activist, mother of the Hausa nation, so she called herself, openly cursed late Shehu Usman Danfodio, blaming him for introducing terrorism and bloodshed in Nigeria.

She claims he toppled peaceful Hausa kings, installed a Fulani oligarchy, and laid the foundation for the banditry and insurgency tormenting Northern Nigeria today.

Furthermore, Jitami directly attacked the Emir of Sokoto, HRM Sa’ad Abubakar, and other prominent Northern leaders, claiming they are all Fulanis and complicit in supporting terrorism, banditry, and ethnic cleansing through their silent approval and hidden alliances.

According to her,Fulanis are not true Muslims and do not represent the interests of Islam. She argues that no true Muslim would rape fellow Muslims inside mosques or kill innocent people in the name of religion

She has now called on all indigenous Hausas—Muslims, Christians, and traditionalists—to unite and fight for their common interest.

She insists that the era of religious deception is over, urging Hausas to reclaim their identity and sovereignty. Surprisingly she has already amassed huge followers and admirers. Many calling her “Maama”.

She also, called upon other indigenous Nigerian communities to remain vigilant against what they describe as Fulani attempts to dominate and impose Sharia law across the nation. Publicly declaring Miyyeti Allah, a terror Organization.

These movement as it stands, is intensifying ethnic tensions in regions where Hausa and Fulani communities coexist, leading to concerns about potential conflicts and the displacement of Fulani individuals from areas traditionally shared with the Hausa in the nearest future.
