US Accuses Nigeria Of Poor Response To Religious Violence by gistongist: 10:51am On Dec 11, 2020
The United States of America has accused the Nigerian Government of tolerating religious bigotry and violations to religious freedoms in the country.

It said it has blacklisted the country.

Speaking during a teleconference on Tuesday, the US ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom, Samuel Brownback, said Nigeria was designated a “country of particular concern” after years of placing her under a watch list for allegedly enabling violations of religious rights.

The FG had rejected the blacklisting, stating that it would engage the US authorities and ensure that Nigeria was removed from the list.

But Brownback said, “We’re seeing a lot of religious-tinged violence taking place in that country and indeed in West Africa. It’s an area of growing concern about what’s happening, in particular, the tension that’s taking place there between religious groups. And it’s often the religious affiliation is used to try to recruit and inspire violent acts.”

Okay...




Oh it's America now? I thought it was the "racial" and "Islamophobic" Trump who always attack Nigerian leaders on matters concerning religious terrorism?


We enjoy the delusion,if not a modest human would agree that the incumbent administration is partisan about religious terrorism.

Hypocrites! Are they not ransacking and destroying Islamic nations like Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, and others for religious bigotry?
Why can't they do the same to Mexico, North Korea, China, Cuba, Venezuela for the same reason to justify that their atrocities has connection with radicalisation.
