A christian resident of Nassarawa Gwom district of central Nigerian city of Jos inspects a church burnt in the four-day christian-muslim sectarian violence which left about 400 dead and 18,000 residents displaced in Jos on January 24, 2010. Frightened residents flooded a military checkpoint to flee the Nigerian city of Jos after Muslim-Christian clashes that killed nearly 500 people and gutted scores of buildings. While fighting subsided in the central city and troops were deployed to end the unrest, fleeing residents said they were too frightened to stay.
