“that US military intervention did not stop attacks on Christians in Nigeria

“that following American airstrikes, militants have re-strategized and the attacks have increased instead in all the regions. And it is now going down to the southern part of Nigeria.

“Christians are uniquely vulnerable because, unlike other religious minorities, their existence was never acknowledged by any of the Western-backed governments that existed between the Taliban being ousted in 2001 and their return in 2021

“people continue to be killed and kidnapped, and many Christians are forced to leave their homes and live in camps for displaced persons.

“militants killed 3,490 Christians in the country, accounting for seventy-two percent of the total number of people killed for their faith worldwide

“the attacks were carried out by Fulani militants, members of radical Islamist groups operating in central Nigeria

“this fact has allowed the Taliban to deny the existence of Afghan Christians and treat any they find as apostates from Islam, even though many are actually second or third generation Christians
