Niger: Out of the Ashes

In January of 2015, a group of Muslim protesters lashed out against Christians in Niger. The protesters were angry at Western media portrayals of their prophet. In a shockingly organized sweep, churches around the country were looted and set on fire. Eighty Christian churches and homes were burned throughout Niger that day. The world was waiting to see how the Christians would respond to these attacks.
