"Why Is Trump Threatening to Intervene In Nigeria?"
"President Trump has threatened to send troops to Nigeria, where he says Christianity faces an existential threat, an accusation that Nigeria has denied."
"Ruth Maclean, our West Africa bureau chief, describes how the violence in Nigeria is affecting people of all religions, not only Christians."
President Trump threatened to send troops to Nigeria, asserting that Christianity faces an existential threat. Nigeria rejected that accusation. Violence in Nigeria is affecting people of all religions, not only Christians. Armed attacks, communal clashes, and militant activity have created widespread insecurity and displacement across affected regions. Claims of targeted religious persecution coexist with broader patterns of criminality, land and resource conflicts, and governance failures that fuel violence. International rhetoric about intervention has raised tensions and debates about appropriate responses, while communities on the ground continue to face insecurity, loss of life, and disruptions to daily life and livelihoods.
