Concerned Citizens Urge US to Withdraw 'Imperialistic' Threats Against Nigeria

Abuja, Nigeria — A wave of concern and condemnation has erupted from civil society organizations (CSOs), political commentators, and citizens across Nigeria following recent threats from the United States, including a possible cutoff of aid and military action. The threats, stemming from allegations that the Nigerian government is failing to adequately protect Christian communities, have been widely criticized as "misdirected, misadvised, and imperialistic."

🗣️ Calls for Diplomacy Over Coercion

The US controversy was sparked by a series of statements, including a post by President Donald Trump, who recently designated Nigeria as a "Country of Particular Concern" (CPC) regarding religious freedom and threatened to send the US military into the country "guns-a-blazing" if the government does not "end the killing of Christians."

Nigerian citizens and stakeholders have strongly pushed back against this narrative, arguing that it dangerously oversimplifies the complex security crisis in the country, which involves:

Terrorist Insurgencies: Groups like Boko Haram and ISWAP targeting both Muslim and Christian civilians and security forces.

Communal Clashes: Disputes over dwindling land and water resources between herders and farmers, impacting people of all faiths.

Criminal Banditry: Mass kidnappings and extortion affecting all communities.

According to a prominent legal scholar, the US threat is a classic example of framing a multi-dimensional conflict solely in religious terms, which risks undermining Nigeria's sovereignty and internal efforts to manage the crisis.
