Foundation Condemns US Over Alleged Persecution Of Christians The Foundation for Peace Professionals (PeacePro) has implicated the United States Congress of aiding Boko Haram propaganda through its decision to impose sanctions on Nigeria over suggested persecution of Christians.
The executive director of PeacePro, Abdulrazaq Hamzat described the move by the US Congress as reckless and misleading, admonishing that it could embolden terrorist groups like Boko Haram by reinforcing their phoney narrative that the Nigerian government is waging a war on Christians.
Hamzat argued that Boko Haram and other terrorist organisations have long exploited religious tensions to exculpate their battles and recruit followers.
By framing Nigeria’s security challenges as the religious conflict, PeacePro revealed the US Congress was effectively lending credibility to Boko Haram’s divisive messaging.
“The US Congress’s decision to impose sanctions on Nigeria over misleading claims of Christian persecution plays directly into Boko Haram’s propaganda strategy. This juke narrative fuels recruitment and enhances divisions within the Nigerian society. The US Congress’ actions are now reinforcing this dangerous lie,” he revealed.
Hazmat underlined that over 216,506 people were killed in the United States through homicide and gun assault between 2020 and 2022, more than 400 percent higher than the 55,910 deaths said in Nigeria between October 2019 and September 2023.
“Despite this alarming figure, the US Congress has chosen to impose sanctions on Nigeria while ignoring its own domestic turmoil of truce and chief part shootings. This double stint finds the political constitution of the US Congress’ decision,” he reported.
