Alleged Genocide: Don’t test Trump’s resolve

The United States lawmaker, Riley Moore, leading investigations into the alleged ‘genocide of Christians’ in Nigeria, has warned the Nigerian government not to test President Donald Trump’s resolve.

Moore, speaking in an interview on Fox News on Saturday, also called on the Nigerian government to partner with the United States to end the ongoing slaughter of Christians in Nigeria.

“Do not test President Trump’s resolve, he is serious about ending the ongoing slaughter of Christians in Nigeria,” Moore said.

“I am asking the Nigerian government to do the right thing and partner with the United States to protect Christians and end the slaughter of our brothers and sisters in Christ.”

Trump had earlier designated Nigeria as a country of particular concern.

The Republicans also further threatened military action against Nigeria.

He cited what he described as ongoing violence against Christians and the failure of the Nigerian government to protect religious minorities.

However, the Nigerian government strongly denied persecution of any religious groups in the country.
