A human-rights group has announced that over five hundred have been left dead in the fighting that has broken out over election results in Nigeria. Nigeria is split between a predominately Christian south and predominately Muslim north. When sitting president Goodluck Johnathon, from a southern Christian tribe, defeated the northern Muslim candidate Muhammadu Buhari, many in the north refuted the election with cries of fraud and corruption. Intense riots broke out throughout the north and there were reprisals from southern Christians as well.
