Trump Redesignates Nigeria as Country of Particular Concern
President Donald Trump redesignated Nigeria as a "Country of Particular Concern" (CPC) due to its repeated violations of religious freedom.
Recently, 17 Christians were killed on the Plateau-Kaduna border in two rural communities: Kwi in Plateau State and Damakasuwa in southern Kaduna.
- The attacks targeted the Irigwe tribe, a small, majority-Christian ethnic group that has suffered dozens of attacks by Fulani Ethnic Militia in the last 10 years.
- The Fulani tribe has over a million members, with some factions being radicalized Islamist Muslims.
Residents described the incidents as the latest in a series of one-sided attacks that have terrorized and dispersed farming settlements across Nigeria's Middle Belt.
Locals reported that Nigerian military or police agents did not appear to defend the residents during the attacks.
