The Ongoing Persecution of Christians in Nigeria Must Stop
Submitted by MAGA
Posted 5 hours ago
Amid escalating violence and persecution against Christians in Nigeria, one must ask: why is the world remaining largely silent?
Recent reports highlight a disturbing pattern of anti-Christian jihad that has been ongoing for more than two decades in Nigeria, a focal point of religious terror driven by Islamist groups, particularly the Fulani herdsmen.
Over 50,000 Christians have been killed since 2009, while the international media barely flinches at the atrocities being committed.
In sharp contrast, any civilian casualties in conflict zones like Ukraine or Gaza swiftly make headlines worldwide.
For example, during a recent attack in Yelwata, Nigeria, over 500 innocent Christians—many of them women and children—lost their lives in a brutal assault characterized by horrific violence.
Eyewitness accounts revealed that the attackers, shouting “Allah Akbar,” mutilated their victims in a manner that can only be described as barbaric.
Nigeria, a nation of 238 million people, is nearly evenly split between Christians and Muslims.
Yet, the Islamist agenda to eradicate Christianity continues unabated, largely ignored by the mainstream global press and Western governments.
This growing persecution should alarm every American, especially given the United States' historical role as a defender of religious liberty.
Through the Trump administration, Nigeria was designated a “Country of Particular Concern,” but there remains a pressing need for more decisive action to mitigate this humanitarian crisis.
While the past administration's acknowledgment of the situation was a step in the right direction, current action remains inadequate.
It's imperative for the West to recognize the seriousness of this anti-Christian extremism and to come together in a robust response.
As discussions about global human rights intensify, one cannot help but feel disillusioned by the selective outrage that seems to dominate media narratives.
Americans must demand accountability from their leaders and a commitment to protect those who are enduring persecution for their faith, starting with a comprehensive strategy to address the realities on the ground in Nigeria.
The silence surrounding this genocide is deafening, and it's time for the American public to raise their voices in support of those suffering.
As we reflect on our values and priorities, we must not allow religious persecution to go unnoticed, echoing the message that the dignity of every human life must be upheld, regardless of their faith.
