According to the Assyrian Church of the East, the Apostle Thomas converted Assyrians to Christianity within a generation after the death of Jesus. To this day, Assyrians still speak a version of the language of Jesus, Aramaic. Aramaic was a broader family of languages, said Nicholas Al-Jeloo, a prominent expert of Assyrian and Middle East history.  Jesus spoke Galilean Aramaic and Assyrians speak Assyrian Aramaic.

Report Decries Sustained Campaign of Anti-Christian Violence in Nigeria

3 Apr 2021 A spokesman for Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) warned Friday of a “sustained campaign” of anti-Christian violence in Nigeria, which has increased in severity in recent years. Recent attacks on Christians “are the latest in a sustained campaign of violence which has been ongoing in multiple states in central Nigeria for over a decade now,” Ellis Heasley, Public Affairs officer at CSW, said in an interview with Crux, an online Catholic news outlet. “Christians in particular are extremely vulnerable to attacks by an armed group comprising members of the Fulani ethnic group, often referred to as the Fulani militia, to distinguish them from peaceable Fulani communities,” Heasley said.
