African Union Responds to Trump’s Claims Regarding Nigeria’s Religious Freedom
Source excerpt
The African Union finally addresses the killing of Christians in Nigeria and released its statement in response to President Donald Trump’s threats to Nigeria if circumstances do not change. On Oct. 31, Trump officially designated Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) and called attention to the targeting of Christians there, threatening military intervention if Nigeria didn’t take action to stop the killings. Now the African Union is pushing back, claiming that holding Nigeria responsible for the attacks is unwarranted.
