A Flashpoint in Nigeria
Deadly violence broke out for the second time this year in the area surrounding Jos -- a frequent flashpoint between Nigeria's Muslim and Christian populations. Jos lies in what is known as the Middle-Belt Zone -- a hard-to-define region (approximated in the map above) that divides the Muslim-dominated north and Christian-dominated south. However, the tension in Jos relates more to the struggle for political control involving the region's "indigenes" (the Afizere, Anaguta and Berom tribes, which are Christian) and its "settlers" (the Hausa and Fulani tribes, which are Muslim).
