Today I spoke at the African Union via zoom as a panelist on the subject of The Role of Faith Communities and Ethical Organizations in Advancing Justice for Africans for People of African Descent through Reparations:
I took on the topic that is often ignored overlooked and made a case on the Reparative justice for Christians in Africa.
Reparations typically refer to compensation or redress provided to address historical injustices. While the concept is most commonly associated with slavery, particularly in the context of the transatlantic slave trade and its lasting impacts on African descendants, reparations can also apply to other forms of historical oppression, including religious persecution.
Tracking the exact number of Christians killed in Africa over centuries due to radical Islam is challenging due to the lack of comprehensive historical records, especially for earlier periods. However, based on available historical accounts, scholarly research, and modern data from organizations like Open Doors, Pew Research Center, and International Christian Concern (ICC), we can provide a chronological analysis and estimates of Christian persecution and killings by region.
Below is a breakdown by region in Morden day Christian Persecution:
East Africa has overtaken North & West Africa which led in earlier ages with millions being persecuted.
In modern-day numbers we see as below.
*Total Estimated Deaths**
– **North Africa**: 1,500+ ( conquered violently in whole )
– **West Africa**: 40,000+ ( majorly conquered violently)
– **East Africa**: 2.5 million+ ( under violent Jihadism)
– **Southern Africa**: 500+ ( under violent Jihadism)
**Total**: Approximately **2.54 million Christians** killed in Africa in modem days due to radical Islam and related conflicts.
