Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered a crackdown by the security forces on Fulani herdsmen accused of violent attacks. For years now the herdsmen have been blamed for a wave of violence in farming areas in Central and Eastern Nigeria over water sources and grazing land for their animals. But the most recent assault was in the south-eastern state of Enugu on Monday. People in the south were alarmed and took to social media sites in protest as it emerged that dozens were killed.
