Answer 2

Answer:

SINCE 1999 the conflict raging in Nigeria has been between Christian and Muslims.

Explanation:

Communal conflicts in Nigeria may be divided into  large categories:

• Ethno-religious conflicts, attributed to actors often divided with the aid of using cultural, ethnic, or religious groups and identities, consisting of times of nonsecular violence among Christian and Muslim groups.
• Herder–farmer conflicts, are usually related to disputes over land and/or livestock among herders (especially the Fulani and Hausa) and farmers (especially the Adara, Berom, Tiv, and Tarok).

The maximum impacted states are the ones of the Nigerian Middle Belt like Benue, Taraba, and Plateau. The violence reached peaks in 2004 and 2011 with around 2,000 fatalities in the years. It ended in extra than seven-hundred fatalities in 2015 alone

Nigeria‘s fourth republic seems to be very chaotic, with incessant violent warfare tiers from religious, identification to communal. Elaigwu (2005a) diagnosed 17 main violent conflicts in Nigeria from May 1985 to May 1st, 1999. However, from May 31, 1999, to June 2005 he diagnosed at least 121 instances of conflicts in Nigeria. He attributed the surprising growth in violent warfare withinside the USA to a strong primary government; famous agitation for decentralized structure; dissatisfaction with the distribution of to-be-had resources; communal conflicts and needs with the aid of using a few sub-countrywide businesses for more self-determination.
