Nigeria is named a Country of Particular Concern by Trump due to a fabricated accusation of Christian genocide.
In a post on Truth Social, Mr. Trump asserted that radical Islamists are murdering thousands of Nigerian Christians, posing a grave existential threat to Christianity in that nation.
Nigeria has been named a Country of Particular Concern by US President Donald Trump, a designation granted by the International Religious Freedom Act to countries that commit or tolerate grave violations of religious freedom.
In a post on Truth Social, Mr. Trump asserted that radical Islamists are murdering thousands of Nigerian Christians, posing a grave existential threat to Christianity in that nation.
Although there is still insecurity in many areas of Nigeria, the PREMIUM TIMES and numerous other media and human rights organisations' assessments of the country's security situation demonstrate that the allegation of a Christian genocide is untrue.
Following weeks of campaigns and calls by some Republican lawmakers for the US to impose sanctions on Nigeria for permitting the "persecution of Christians," the US has now designated the country. In an effort to purge the nation of Christians, the officials had falsely charged the federal government with supporting this anti-Christian campaign.
A bill to punish the Nigerian government for allegedly aiding radical Islamic terrorists in their attempts to exterminate the nation's Christian population was also introduced by US Senator Ted Cruz.
