How Nigeria Is Similar To Egypt
Nigeria and Egypt entered the New Year with a very eerie similarity - deadly violence connected to religion. The violence in both of these countries clearly show the inability of the governments to effectively protect their people. Even more, it shows the dramatic interaction that religion and politics have in these countries and that some elements are prepared to exploit the volatile situation to promote their own agenda. However one looks at the situation, the governments of these countries ultimately have to be held responsible for allowing empty spaces in their countries that put the lives of their peoples at risk.

Religous Violence is a serious threat to the liberty of the citizens of these countries, we've seen what has happened in Rwanda with the tutsi's and the Hutu's and in other countries such as Sudan. The UN and other countries have put in genocide clauses to prevent from this genocide. Genocide should be taken VERY seriously especially by the governments and the citizens individually "A man who stands for nothing will for anything" -Malcom X
The government needs to take responsibility, and not allow its citizens to commit genocide
