It’s actually even worse than that. Excluding significantly electrified South Africa, sub-Sahara Africans consume an almost irrelevant 181 kWh of electricity per capita – 1.4% of the average American’s!
If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain. If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain, Or help one fainting robin Unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain. –Emily Dickinson
During the Christmas season, we celebrate the arrival of Jesus, the "Prince of Peace," who came to earth to demonstrate God's will that His love, peace and joy be shared among all humankind -- His beloved creation. And yet for millions of Christians around the world, Christmas is often not a time of peace and tranquility. In fact, their faith-based celebrations have frequently been marred by persecution and suffering.
WASHINGTON—For many months, Save the Persecuted Christians (STPC), which advocates on behalf of hundreds of millions of persecuted Christians worldwide, has urged a U.S. special envoy to Nigeria and the Lake Chad region because of extreme and heightened violence against Christians there.
In 2019 alone, reported The Christian Post, over 1,000 Christians in Nigeria were killed by Boko Haram and Fulani extremists, while another 300 Christians were killed in Cameroon. A separate Nigeria-based civil society organization reported that at least 2,400 Christians were killed in Nigeria in 2018.
