Rep. Moore Discusses Nigeria's Country of Particular Concern Designation

Published | Video Starts at 04:27

I did an interview for whatever reason with BBC here recently about this and same thing, a lot of skepticism about, you know, is this actually happening? Is this true? Questioning all of this? It's absolutely happening. It's true. We know it. And The numbers, as you said, the small number, the least amount that we know is 50,000. There are some reports that it's over 100,000 Christians have been murdered in that country since 2009. Yeah, and I read just this morning, on average it's about 30 Christians per day. It's mind boggling. I know Nigeria is pushing back, pushing back against these claims by the United States. (04:27–04:40)
