<p>We are concerned by the suffering caused by violence between cattle herders and farmers in Nigeria. The UK has supported a number of initiatives that have brought communities together and provided livelihoods and economic opportunities in the affected areas. We are encouraging the Government of Nigeria to prevent further violence and provide support to the victims of the conflict. At present, the UK’s humanitarian response in Nigeria is focused on providing assistance and protection to hundreds of thousands of people affected by the Boko Haram conflict in the country’s north-east.</p>
