A Tense Christmas for Christians Hunted in Nigeria
Source excerpt
Ongoing attacks on Christians in Nigeria have recently gained more recognition: President Trump has declared Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern” for its violations of religious freedom, and his administration is creating a plan for sanctions. While many Nigerian Christians might appreciate such acknowledgment, the situation in much of the country remains as dangerous as ever. And the approaching Christmas season brings added concern: Jihadists are even more inclined to attack on Christian holidays, as shown by the massacres they undertook during the past two Christmases.
