Here lives hope in the Nigeria of Boko Haram

Two Swedish newspapers, Expressen and Dagen, have reported on the work of the Imam and the Pastor [1] in Kaduna this week. Expressen is one of the biggest newspapers in Sweden, Dagen is a Christian paper. The title of the Expressen article is 'Här lever hoppet i Boko Harams Nigeria' which means 'Here lives hope in the Nigeria of Boko Haram'.

But there is hope after all - two former foesare now working together. 'Without dialogue we can not get peace', says Pastor James Movel Wuye, a view backed by his friend, Imam Muhammad Nurayn Ashafa. He refers to their work with the Muslim-Christian Interfaith Mediation Centre in their city, leading task-forces to resolve conflicts across Nigeria.
