AN ATTACK<br />
ON THEIR<br />
LIVELIHOODS<br />
Two families experience devastating loss.<br />
By Kate Piselli<br />
On the morning of October 15, 2021,<br />
12-year-old Emmanuel Amos joined<br />
his eight-year-old brother, Abednego,<br />
and their father, David, on a trip to visit their<br />
farm.<br />
Their farmland was in Nkiedonwro, a village<br />
they were forced to flee in 2017 when Fulani<br />
militants brutally massacred 29 of their<br />
community members.<br />
For the last four years, Emmanuel and his<br />
family often returned to the deserted land<br />
during the day to cultivate their crops. At the<br />
sight of nightfall, however, they retreated<br />
back to safety to avoid the militia that killed<br />
so many of their peers.<br />
