Now that President Trump has signaled concern what should Washington be looking for to ensure Nigeria is taking this seriously?
Washington should look for steps that stop ongoing attacks, prevent future ones and demonstrate that Nigeria is committed to protecting religious freedom. This violence dates back to 1953.
First, Nigeria must strengthen security. The government should deploy army and police units to protect at-risk Christian communities.
Second, Nigeria must end impunity for perpetrators by appointing a special prosecutor to investigate and bring cases against attackers and complicit officials who ignored their duty to act.
The Nigerian government may be starting to get the message here. It has begun prosecuting some of the attackers .
Third, the government must facilitate the safe return of displaced Christians by prioritizing rebuilding homes, churches and schools, and providing security escorts for those that are returned.
Finally, Nigeria must immediately suspend enforcement of its blasphemy laws .
How is the US going to see to it that steps be taken ? If you draw a line in the sand you better be willing to back it up. Trump has vowed military action in Nigeria if the attacks against Christians do not subside. It is a dangerous world out there. The president is talking softly but does have a big stick available.
Congress is also taking the the situation seriously and some members have expressed the opinion that protection of vulnerable Christians in Nigeria is both a moral duty and an essential part of America’s foreign policy posture.
The UN is totally useless in addressing this problem.
I agree, Fred, that the UN is useless. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It would be great if we can get the government there to take this more seriously.
And then there is the Christian persecution in Europe, Canada, India, China and other parts of the world…
