About this listen
In a recent U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs hearing, lawmakers and witnesses examined the alarming decline of religious freedom in Nigeria, with a focus on the persecution of Christians by Islamist groups and Fulani militants. Testimonies highlighted brutal attacks, kidnappings, and government inaction, prompting calls for the U.S. to redesignate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC). The discussion also explored the broader governance failures and complex conflict drivers beyond religion, with some advocating for a balance between U.S. assistance programs and targeted sanctions. Tune in to hear the key takeaways from this critical hearing.
