And since 2009, there's been between 50,000 on the low end to a hundred thousand Christians have been killed. Tens of thousands of churches have been burned. Millions of Christians have been displaced. In Benway State alone, there are 600,000 Christians living in IDP camps. And I know that personally because I went there last month. (01:19–01:24)
