Addressing the recent slaughter of an estimated 500 Christians by Muslim gangs in renewed violence between Muslims and Christians in Nigeria, Secetary Clinton said on Monday, after her meeting with Gabonese President Ali Bongo:

We continue to urge all parties to exercise restraint and seek constructive means for addressing the cycle of violence in Plateau state. The Nigerian government should ensure that the perpetrators of acts of violence are brought to justice under the rule of law and that human rights are respected as order is restored."
