Alleged Genocide: US Congressman Says Trump May Adopt Sanctions Than Military Action In Nigeria


United States Congressman, Bill Huizenga, has said that President Donald Trump is unlikely to take military action in Nigeria despite his recent threat to go “guns-ablazing” over alleged killings of Christians and other Nigerians.

Speaking in an interview with Arise TV , Huizenga clarified that Trump’s comments were more about expressing frustration with ongoing violence than indicating a real plan for military intervention.

According to the US lawmaker, the American President’s priority is likely to focus on using economic and individual sanctions to pressure those responsible, rather than launching an invasion.

He said, “I too was surprised by the comments that they came out; that the President came out that forcefully. I suspect that that is not a high priority of having actual military intervention, specifically in Nigeria. But I think he does want to make sure that, from his view, the genocide that is happening specifically against Christians, but also others in Nigeria, needs to stop. While I don’t envision a surprise attack, I don’t envision that there’s going to be a military response.”

Huizenga emphasised that sanctions targeting individuals and organisations could be the most effective approach to ending the violence.

“First, as we had talked about, I would first and foremost encourage them to look at the economic pressure and sanctions on both individuals and organisations. I think that would be the most effective,” he said.

He also suggested that Trump’s history of prioritising diplomacy over warfare further reduces the likelihood of a US-led military intervention.

“Frankly, this President has been someone who has pursued peace rather than just expanding war. So I think he would be very selective before he did anything militarily,” Huizenga added.

According to him, economic sanctions would not only send a strong signal but also cut off the funding networks sustaining violent groups.

“Sanctions really cut off the flow of money, cut off the flow of travel. We don’t know who exactly is financing much of these operations from the Fulani or Boko Haram in the past. And what I do know is, though, if we put economic pressure on them and the inability to move money around, that will have an impact, I think a positive impact,” he said.

In a speech seen by SaharaReporters, Trump reiterated that he has designated Nigeria a “country of particular concern” over what he described as large-scale killings of Christians and warned that Washington could cut aid or even take military action if the violence continues.

“Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria, thousands and thousands of Christians are being killed, radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter. I am hereby making Nigeria a country of particular concern, that is a legal definition,” Trump wrote in a social media post.

He drew attention to global figures and urged rapid action from U.S. lawmakers. “When the Christians or any such group is slaughtered like it's happening in Nigeria 3100 Vs 4476 Worldwide, what horrible numbers.”

Trump called on members of Congress to move quickly, singling out appropriations leaders. “Something has to be done, I am asking Congressman Riley Moore together with Chairman Tom Cole and the House Appropriations Committee to immediately look into this matter to report back to me, I mean like immediately.”

He added that the United States would intervene to protect religious minorities. “The United States cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening in Nigeria and other countries. It's not only in Nigeria, it's all over. We are able and willing to defend Christians, the killing of Christians, it is not going to happen.”

The "Rethugs" are beginning to back-pedal after all the "huffin and puffin."

This is what those of us who are experts in the knowledge of advanced global geopolitical dynamics have been saying BUT some uninformed young posters and secessionists come online to post half-baked opinions.

In the wake of the current longest ever U.S. Government shutdown in American history and several U.S. Federal workers (including military personnel) NOT being paid their salaries yet, MANY Americans are right NOW NOT in support of any United States military intervention in Nigeria because it is tax-payers money that is being used on these foreign military interventions. Several online platforms have this strong push-backs with Americans and others asking why the United States didn't protect indigenous Arab Christians in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria. Some even noted with frustration that U.S. military interventions over the decades had NOT resolved jihadi groups from still operating till date BUT they only got WORSE.

The United States under the current POTUS who is very garrulous and unwisely revealed tactical military information (in his online rants) which made the Fula militia bandits and jihadi groups to start fleeing Nigeria with reports of large numbers of foreign Fula militia bandits on motor bikes fleeing into the Fula side of Adamaoua in Cameroon (and Gumi who is a Fula by origin as well) has fled Nigeria to Turkey. The Sultan of Sokoto being an ex-Nigerian Army officer (just like Gumi) is the well-known leader and grand patron of the Fula Miyetti Allah for the whole minority Fulas of West Africa, so the source of the Fula militia terror funding is known.

The United States MUST urgently share ADVANCED intelligence information and use the LIGHT option method (in massive covert joint military operations with Nigerian military forces) using surveillance and attack drones strikes to jointly strike the many Northern Nigeria forests and decimate the different jihadi terror groups operating in Nigeria such as BH and their breakaway faction ISWAP, the foreign Fula militia bandits and Lakurawa bandits (who are Tuaregs from Niger Republic and Northern Mali). Even Niger Republic, Mali, Burkina Faso, Chad, Northern Cameroon have to be attacked to CLEAR out these bandits and jihadi groups.


Donald Trump was careless in trying to blame Nigeria totally for the continued spread of these foreign jihadi groups knowing FULL WELL that the borders are porous and jihadis groups like the JNIM of Mail, Niger Republic and Burkina Faso (over half of Mali and Burkina Faso are in the hands of JNIM) operate in several countries of the West African Sahel as far as Somalia and parts of Kenya. The United States too has in the past been responsible for funding these Islamist groups during the Cold War with the Soviet Union with the Osama Bin Laden example until Osama turned around to become a terror to American global interests.

JASONjnr:
This is what many Nigerians are happy for....

The sanction will further make life harder for all Nigerians and not to Tinubu and his supporters alone.

So as you wish this government to fail, be rest assured that it will definitely affect you one way or the other.

I sèe pain in this comment cry baba your Lord tinubu will not smell asorock again

ribbit:
Thank you Daddy trump.

Sanction us please.

The christian genocide crooners will be exempted from these sanctions. Including the Christians.

We just need ID card that says I'm a Christian Jew that worships white overlord, and boom, automatic exemption.

You need to be investigated, what is the difference between yu and the likes of Gumi, Pantami, and so on?

Bad Boy

The same thing applies to military action. They think the remaining unhurt terrorists would not mix with the civilian population when bombs start landing

How many countries has USA completely liberated from terrorists?

The only solution is African inter-regional military and intelligence cooperation cum collaboration.

Psalmistproject:
Abeg let the US deport all politicians' children back to Nigeria with a permanent ban on entry to the US or Europe.

After looting the country dry and leaving everything empty and poor they transfer their next generation to sane countries equipping them with enough proceeds gotten from looting our country dry to start up their lives.

What has their children got to do with you?

Stop hating innocent children and don’t be envious of them tol

Guestmale:
Read the article again,the sanctions will be against individuals and organisations that are supporting and financing the terrorists and genocide.

yinmu.

You think they don't already do that?

You think terrorists financials really care about USA sanctions like that?

When they know they can just bribe trump if they really need the favour of USA?

Proudlyngwa:
This will in no way help the fight against insurgency

Omo!
We are in soap then. The sanction won't affect the rich or politician, they can afford to survive. Na same poor man way dm de kill go still suffer.
This will now allow the terrorist to show more pepper because people has be calling them out since Trump threat

The bandits are already killing themselves just because of the plan of Trump to send in military...
I don't think this is a good idea

Don't mind kids thinking US will send soldiers just like that.. I've been laughing 😂 at them since..

beerfraud:
US congressman doesn’t know law
Ipob terrorists want Trump to bomb the northern states

Lol 😂

You see, the idea of it all wasn't about the genocide or whatever. If Dem place sanctions now who go feel am? Err body right. So the resolution to this is to investigate and publish the names of this people. Make video evidence choke social media. E no get as e wan be, e go reduce. Individuals, private individuals go begin take actions themselves and nothing government can do about it.

you are funny 🤣🤣🤣

I dont know why we dont understand this. He just gave us a hint.
Read through, the USA knows who are sponsoring these people.
All monies been realized are sent offshore. The money trail is not hidden.
They apply pressure to these set of individuals and these terrorists will either stop or die from funding starvation and just disband into smaller rival units.

Terrorism is a cash cow. Target the sponsors and their cash trail does alot of damage to the business

Lol...they will run elsewhere....no b money dey talk .. Russia, china, even France dey dere ooo

Trump and America are not coming to save anybody....

His threat will only worsen Christian genocide in Nigeria...

A Muslim Muslim presidency that hasn't done anything against the evil won't do anything when the evil escalates...

This looks like a script by the antichrist Globalists' masters....for Nigeria....

Make Trump no fall our hands o. We're eagerly waiting for him and we've started buying our aso ebi to welcome his boys to Nigeria.
