Donald Trump, the President of the United States, has lashed out at the mass killings of Christians in Nigeria.
According to the US president, Nigeria is a disgrace over the killing of Christians.
President Trump further described the situation in Nigeria as a “Christian genocide”.
He further hinted at stopping all aid to Nigeria over the Nigerian government’s failure to protect Christians.
Speaking in an interview with Fox News, President Trump stated, “I think Nigeria is a disgrace; the whole thing is a disgrace. They are killing people by the thousands. It is a genocide, and I am really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria, we are going to end up stopping. The government has been very ineffective. They are killing Christians at will”.
He further slammed some American media outlets for not reporting on the matter.
“And you know, until I got involved two weeks ago, nobody even talked about it. The New York Times does not write stories about it,” he said.
Donald Trump had earlier labelled Nigeria as a ‘Country of Particular Concern’ over the Christian genocide claims.
He threatened military action in Nigeria to stop the killings, branding the country a disgrace.
The US President also accused the Nigerian government of failing to protect Christians from violence perpetrated by the Islamic extremists.
Trump further warned once again of his threat to take military action against Islamist militants in Nigeria if the government does not stop attacks on Christian communities.
Meanwhile, Nigeria for years have been struggling with the terrible atrocities being committed against Nigerian Christians, with “Churches being burned down, pastors and church leaders being killed, women and girls being kidnapped and subjected to sexual violence, and often forced into marriages with Muslim husbands”.
Some commentators under Trump’s comment shared by TheCable stated, “USA too is a disgrace. You can say all you like about our politicians, but you have no right to talk down on our country. Enough of this nonsense. I think ALL Nigerians should stand up to this rubbish rhetoric from this orange man”.
Another wrote, “All sane, sensible, responsible, right-thinking, well-meaning, peaceful, decent and patriotic Nigerians are earnestly yearning for the US Government’s intervention via its military actions against those Islamic Fulani terrorists, since BAT is unwilling to do the needful”.
Another wrote, “Trump’s narratives are always “in their thousands.” He is always exaggerating when reeling out his stats, whether immigration or war casualties. Such a reckless leader”.
