Indiscriminate killing of 400 people in Benue state deeply shocking! Internally Displaced Persons must not be targeted with such violence.

He called for the perpetrators of these acts to be brought to justice, which is a critical step towards ensuring accountability and deterring future acts of violence.
Mr. Schmale’s statement highlights the need for urgent action to address the ongoing crisis in Nigeria, and his call for peace building and accountability underscores the importance of a coordinated and multi-faceted approach to resolving the conflict and building a sustainable peace for all.
