Nigeria: Eleven Christians killed
Lord Alton writes: Over Christmas, Islamic State beheaded 11 Nigerian Christians. Shocking news reports with in depth analysis from the BBC on the ideology that is intent on creating a genocide in Nigeria.
Read a parliamentary debate held 18 months ago. The warnings of systematic persecution and horrific executions, abductions, and an unfolding genocide have been wantonly ignored.
These terrible executions in Nigeria will be a first test of how the UK's Foreign Office and Aid programmes will be deployed to provide substance to Boris Johnson's very welcome commitment to end such barbarism.
