Konflikte zwischen den ethnischen Gruppen der Tiv, Kwalla, Jukun und Azara über Landrechte bestehen weiterhin ("Country Report on Human Rights Practices 2005") [#46036],  [ID 17446]

"Conflict over land rights and ownership continued among members of the Tiv, Kwalla, Jukun, and Azara ethnic groups; each of these groups resided at or near the convergence of Nassarawa, Benue, and Taraba States. The Tiv, who were claimed by their opponents to have migrated to the country later than other inhabitants of the disputed area, were regarded as interlopers by the other groups, which consider themselves "indigenous". Tivs are the largest ethnic group in much of Benue and parts of other states."

Mehr als 200 Tote und über 50,000 Vertriebene seit Ausbruch der Kämpfe zwischen Tiv-Angehörigen und Haussa-sprechenden Azara ("Nigeria: Red Cross seeks help for IDPs") [#2345],  [ID 14968]

Mehr als 200 Tote und über 50.000 Vertriebene seit Ausbruch der Kämpfe zwischen Tiv-Angehörigen und Haussa-sprechenden Azara. Als Auslöser für die gewaltsamen Zusammenstöße gilt die, den Tiv angelasteten, Ermordung eines bekannten Stammesführers der Haussa sowie einiger seiner Gefolgsleute. Viele Tiv fliehen in den Benachbarten Bundesstaat Benue aus Angst vor Racheakten der Haussa.

"It is estimated that more than 200 people have been killed and over 50,000 displaced since communal clashes broke out on 12 June between Tivs and their Hausa-speaking Azara neighbours. The fighting followed the killing by unknown gunmen of a prominent Hausa traditional ruler and members of his entourage. His people blamed Tivs and carried out revenge killings, forcing many to flee to nearby Benue State, where Tivs are in the majority."
