VICTORY FOR THE PERSECUTED CHRISTIANS AND VICTIMS OF ISLAMIST TERRORISM IN NIGERIA.
President Donald Trump recognizes what our own leaders in Nigeria and many global leaders have failed to confront with honesty and courage. The genocide unfolding, especially across Nigeria’s Middle Belt, is not “skirmishes,” not “climate change,” not the so-called “Farmer-Herder clash,” nor even mere banditry. It is, in his own words, exactly what it is:
“Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. Thousands of Christians are being killed.”
This truth shatters the veil of denial that has long shielded Fulani terrorists and other Islamist Jihadists and perpetrators of untold atrocities. For years, voices of anguish and pleas for justice have echoed from burnt villages and grieving communities like mine, and many others across Benue, Plateau, Southern Kaduna, Southern Nasarawa —pleas that the world often ignored. But President Trump listened. He heard the cries of the persecuted, he heard our petitions, and prayers of the faithful, and the advocacy of countless defenders of liberty and human rights.
When he declared that, “The United States cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening in Nigeria,” he spoke not only as a leader of a nation but as a defender of humanity’s conscience. That statement resounds with moral clarity and renews our collective hope that justice and compassion will no longer be silenced by politics or convenience, or even high wired complicity as is the case at hand.
We welcome this intervention wholeheartedly, trusting that it marks the beginning of a new dawn for countless innocent lives in Nigeria. The world must no longer avert its gaze. The time to act is now.
Thank you, President Trump, for standing boldly with truth, justice, and the persecuted.
