Jihadi Violence in Nigeria
The House debated violence against Christians in Nigeria. Rep. John James said tens of thousands of Christians have been killed since 2019 by extremist groups such as Boko Haram, and that the Nigerian government has ignored or enabled the violence. He said the Nigerian government unfairly convicted Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, who spoke out about the violence, and urged the House to pass his resolution calling on Nigeria to give Kanu proceedings consistent with its constitutional obligations and international human rights commitments, or release him. He also questioned sending US money to a country where these attacks occur.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
