However, the Tsetse management initiatives, beginning with those started by the British colonial authorities, have lessened the risk of illnesses like trypanosomiasis. In order to keep their animals alive, herders can now easily acquire medications for trypanosomiasis and dermatophilosis. Herders have also interbred trypanosome-intolerant zebu cattle with trypanosome-tolerant humpless varieties during the past few decades, enhancing the cattle’s resistance to tropical diseases. All of the above-listed factors have made it possible for Fulani herders to migrate widely into Nigeria’s southern regions, where there is a high demand for beef and other meat products in the country’s populated southern towns and cities, making it simple for them to sell their livestock for higher prices. They would, however, run into sedentary people in the south who have never before interacted amicably and coexisted with nomadic herders. Farmers-Fulani clashes Research reveals that more than 19,000 people have been killed and hundreds of thousands more have been displaced as a result of farmer-herder violence since the Fourth Nigerian Republic was established in 1999. It was part of a trend that saw farmer-herder conflicts rise across much of the western Sahel as a result of an increase in agriculturists and cultivated land at the expense of pasturelands, resulting in deteriorating environmental conditions, desertification, as well as soil degradation, population growth, and the failure of traditional conflict resolution mechanisms for land and water disputes, which led to the spread of small arms and crime in rural areas. Many people have developed ethnic and tribal militias and self-defense units as a result of violence and insecurity, which has resulted in additional violence. Reports gathered affirm that the majority of farmer-herder conflicts have involved Muslim Fulani herdsmen, escalating tensions. Research has shown that conflicts between farmers and Fulani herdsmen have resulted in the deaths of over 121 people in the states of Bauchi and Gombe between 1996 and 2006. Furthermore, since 2016, battles between farmers and semi-nomadic herders have claimed thousands of lives.
