Alleged Genocide: Trump's Intervention Viewed as Answered Prayer, Not Invasion
The Christian Council of Nigeria (CCN) clarified the recent U.S. designation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) should not be mistaken for an invasion but seen as support in addressing severe human rights violations.
The U.S. government labeled Nigeria due to reports of gross human rights abuses and alleged Christian genocide within the country.
CCN emphasized the ongoing insecurity has severely affected Nigeria for nearly two decades, and American involvement aims to help tackle this persistent crisis.
This is not the time for debate on whether there is Christian genocide in Nigeria or not. Rather, it is a time to set aside political considerations, ethnic affiliations, and religious inclinations, and join hands and purpose to address this challenge once and for all.
The council called for unity and collective effort beyond divisions to effectively confront the challenge.
Summary: The Christian Council of Nigeria urges unity in responding to U.S. intervention on human rights issues, viewing it as a crucial step to resolve longstanding insecurity.
