Nigeria has become the epicenter of global Christian persecution, and new attention from the White House is bringing long-ignored atrocities into the international spotlight. In a video by CBN News’ Raj Nair, the outlet looked at statistics on Christian persecution from Open Doors, a Christian watchdog organization, which shows that 72% of Christians murdered for their faith worldwide last year were killed in Nigeria. “What’s interesting about the second bucket of Christian persecution taking place in Nigeria today is that it’s not being perpetrated by your classic Islamist jihadi groups,” she said. “These conflicts are about resources—water resources, land resources,” Wahba explained, noting long-standing tensions between Fulani herders and predominantly Christian farmers. “This is really a security issue, and it’s in Nigeria’s best interest to begin to address the security.”That failure prompted action from the Trump administration.
