A lone Muslim woman is walking by a series of destroyed homes in Dutse Uku, pop. 40.000, a Muslim-dominated neighbourhood in Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria. Residents of Dutse Uku clashed and were attacked by a neighbouring Christian community after local government elections in 2008. 380 houses were destroyed, and around 20 people were killed. All Christians have since then left their homes within the community, in order to resettle in Christian-dominated areas of the city.
