American missionary, Mike Arnold in new article says “IDP Annihilation is Nigerian Govt massive witness suppression Scheme”

By Mike Arnold

The truth about what’s happening in Nigeria is not hard to find. There are at least 4 million eyewitnesses who can tell you exactly what is happening and why.  They’re called internally displaced people, IDPs.

They know exactly what’s going on because, against all odds — through unimaginable, tragedy, trauma, and loss — they survived genocide. 

The government doesn’t acknowledge this vast multitude of peaceful, once vibrant and productive people. Instead, it brands them criminals, vagrants, homeless bums, while the bootlicking Nigerian media just nods and smiles.

The Government intentionally neglects them, grinds them down, bulldozes their makeshift camps — some that have been home to widows and orphans for a decade now — wiping out everything they have left in this world.

The government could very well afford financially to resettle these people. Provide at least basic necessities. Give them some degree of security and dignity.  And if it couldn’t afford to do so, the international community has the mandate and money to do so, if only Nigeria were to acknowledge the problem and invite the world in to help.

But they don’t.  Because what they can’t afford is to give these people the one thing they fear most: a voice. 

From the many I have gotten to know over the last six years, I have learned that each one carries a story of cruelty and horror — and courage — that’s almost beyond comprehension. 

They saw. They remember. They know. The Nigerian government’s intentional, systematic smothering of these millions of innocent victims is the inconceivable compound evil of the long-running Nigerian Christian genocide.

Yet, if you thought that maybe it couldn’t get worse than this, think again. Reality is, these people represent — without intense intervention — a generation of millions of traumatized youth conditioned to believe that power comes from sadistic killing, that innocence is suicide. 

There’s a reason they’re called Boko Haram. It means Western Education is Forbidden. They recruit from the uneducated, the disconnected. They know education — loving intervention — imbues vision, values and strength of character. It breaks the cycle of death.

Allowing this systemic traumatization and neglect to continue is itself a form of national suicide. There’s no way peace or prosperity can ever be achieved in a nation when it’s gestating a vast army of disaffected victims who will someday come of age.  And this, too, is by design.

The long game. To destroy the fabric of this nation — the sixth largest and one of the top petroleum and hard mineral producers on earth — so it can be brought into full submission to radical Islam.

And from there, it can metastasize around the world. Nigeria’s IDP’s are the smoking gun, the bloody hands of the Nigerian government. They are the living proof that this government is fully complicit in this genocide. 

The government’s spin doctors and attack dogs do their best too confuse, obfuscate and suppress the truth. They systematically and brutally bribe, threaten, and kill frontline journalists and anyone else who dares to speak the truth.

And for more than a decade, they have methodically waged the most sociopathic witness suppression campaign that perhaps the world has ever seen.  It ends now.  It’s time for good hearted Nigerians — the vast majority, of all faiths tribes, and political parties —  to open their eyes, stand up,  and reach out in love to embrace, uplift, and restore this forgotten multitude of their displaced countrymen. It’s time to give Nigeria’s IDP a voice.  And it’s time for the world to listen to them.
