Congressman Riley Moore has publicly named the groups he asserts are behind the ongoing violence targeting Christians in Nigeria. In a statement shared on his social media platform this Wednesday, Moore singled out Fulani militants as the primary force responsible for the atrocities.
Moore highlighted that while the administration of former President Donald Trump achieved significant success in curbing the influence of terrorist factions like Boko Haram and ISWAP, the security situation in Nigeria remains dire. He emphasized that urgent action is required to address the violence occurring within the Middle Belt region.
The lawmaker underscored that protecting Christian communities from Fulani aggression is essential for ensuring their freedom to exist and practice their faith safely. His remarks reflect an ongoing concern among American officials regarding the stability and religious rights of populations in the region.
