(SomaliNet) Atleast 127 people have been killed during the fight between moslims and christians in Nigeria. This follows moslim youth in Potiskum, Nigeria attacking churches and shops in the area.
This follows the Nigerian christian community's enragement over the destruction of their property as moslims protested the publication of "blasphemous cartoons" in Denmark.
This is the worst fight between the two parties since 2004 in which over 700 people were killed. Majority of the 127 people dead in these fights were from South eastern Nigeria.
