Central Nigeria reels after mass killings as fears of further ethnic and land-related attacks grow

Dozens of men, women, and children were buried in mass graves after a deadly attack in central Nigeria.
Locals say many were killed in their sleep, adding to recent casualties in Plateau state.
The violence stems from ethnic and religious tensions, resource scarcity, and climate change.
Longstanding disputes between indigenous and non-indigenous groups have evolved into broader insecurity.
Communities face repeated attacks despite increased military presence in the area.
Authorities have pledged to address the root causes, though solutions remain elusive.
Fears of further violence and reprisals continue to haunt the affected region.
