John James: “The United States has previously recognized this crisis…”

“The lack of response has created an atmosphere of impunity where Christians lives where Christians continue to live in constant threat and fear. The United States has previously recognized this crisis. President Trump not only designated Nigeria as a country of particular concern during his first term, but redesignated it again in his second term after President Biden inexplicably removed that designation. Religious persecution is tied to political repression and weakening institutions in Nigeria. The detention of Maze Namdi Kanu is a clear example.” (01:41–01:56)
