Hundreds killed in Nigeria clashes
More than 2,000 people have been killed in clashes in the Plateau State since 2001
At least 200 people, most of them Christians, have been murdered in ethnic attacks near the city of Jos, Nigeria
The latest violence is thought to be revenge for similar clashes in January when days of deadly violence in the central Plateau State left more than 300 dead, most of them Muslims.
The weekend killings add to the tally of thousands who have died in Nigeria in the last decade due to ethnic, political and economic frictions.
Benjamin Kwashi, the Anglican bishop of Jos gives the BBC his assessment of the situation.
