A United States congressman, Riley Moore, says President Donald Trump is focused on ending the killing of Christians in Nigeria.
Moore made this statement in a post via his verified X handle.
According to him, the bombardment of terrorist targets in Nigeria was meant to prevent the killing of Christians.
“We did this in coordination with the Nigerian government, which is very important to point out.
This isn’t the United States unilaterally doing this, we are doing this in coordination with the Nigerian government to help secure their country and end the slaughter of Christians in Nigeria,” he said.
DAILY POST reports that the US on Christmas Day launched airstrikes on terrorist enclaves in Bauni forest in Tangaza Local Government Area of Sokoto State.
The congressman said Christians in Nigeria were attacked by terrorists on Christmas Day in the last two years, adding that Trump gave the terrorists a taste of their own medicine by launching attacks against them.
“So, quite a bit different, the President is totally focused on this. He made that very clear in this attack and and this is a very good first step to addressing this issue,” he added.
“Obviously, President Trump has finally stood up to this and I do want to point out something very important: the last two Christmases, there has been a massacre of Christians in Nigeria.
“The tables have absolutely turned this year. The Islamic terrorists in Nigeria were the ones receiving that type of present this year,” he stated.
The US lawmaker stated that those against the air strikes are “playing to their Islamic radical base that they now have to appease for whatever reason.”
