Trump administrator condemns the violence of the Islamic State against African Christians

First on Fox – The White House, faced with an in progress and growing tsunami of deadly attacks by Islamic Allied groups against Christians in sub -Saharan Africa, is now working in close collaboration with the State Department to find ways to stop murder.

Last week, the White House told Fox News Digital: “The Trump administration condemns in the strongest terms of this horrible violence against Christians”, after the UN pointed out that 49 Christians were massacred with machetes on July 27 in and around a church of the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), while the Catholic faithful prayed for peace. The authorities say that the killers were Islamist militants of the Allied Democratic Forces, also known as the DRC of the Islamic State.

In Nigeria neighboring last month, 27 Christians were killed by members of the Fulani Islamist tribe in the village of Bindi Ta-Hoss, where residents are mainly Christian. Eyewitness Solomon on Sunday said: “I advised my family to seek refuge in the church, which seemed to be the safest place at the time. I lost my wife and my second daughter in the attack; they were burned (alive) by Fulani militias.”

The leader of local youth, of softened, who helped to recover the bodies, added: “People are killed like chickens, and nothing is done.”

“Such a macabre procedure has become commonplace in the center of Nigeria,” said John Eibner, president of the Christian Human Rights Organization Christian Solidarity International, at Fox News Digital. “This is part of a long-standing process of violent Islamization, ethno-religious cleaning. Last Sunday in the palm, 50 Christians were slaughtered in the same way in the neighboring Bassa. More than 165 Christians have been killed in the past 4 months in the stage of the plateau (one of the provinces of Nigeria) alone,” he added.

“Massacres of the type that occur in the center of Nigeria also occur with an increasing frequency in places with a Christian predominance like Congo and Mozambique. There is no simple solution.”

The British Division of Open Doors, a global Christian charity that supports and is expressed for Christians persecuted for their faith, told Fox News Digital: “The crisis confronted with large areas of sub -Saharan Africa is difficult to exaggerate. It is potentially existential for peace and future stability of several nations in the region, including Nigeria.”

“About 150,000 people have been killed in jihadist violence over the past ten years. More than 16 million Christians have been driven out of their homes and their land across the region.”

The Trump administration seems to be preparing for action. This week, a spokesperson for the State Department said to Fox News Digital: “The State Department is working closely with the White House to identify opportunities to continue the cause of religious freedom in the world”.

The spokesperson added: “Religious freedom for everyone around the world is an imperative of moral and national security and an American foreign policy priority. As President Trump said, the United States will vigorously promote this freedom.”

Nigeria is among the most dangerous places in the world to be a Christian. Recent research on open doors show that more Christians are killed for their faith in Nigeria than the rest of the combined world. Local bishop Wilfred Anagbe was threatened and around twenty of his parishioners killed, after expressed the killings to a Congress Committee in March.

This week, the Bishop Spoke Exclusively to Fox News Digital, Declaring that “The Attackers Form Part of the Larger Islamic- Jihadists Family Headed in Nigeria by the Likes of Boko Haram, Isis West Africa and Similar Groups. Nigeria Has Had a Long History With Islamic Fundamentalism. Violence, Killing and Displacements Without Consequences Suggests A New Pattern where the Islamists have resorted to use their control of Official Government and apparatus to continue this jihad.

“There is a strong trend of fundamentalist Muslims in Nigeria to transform the whole or part of Nigeria (in) to an Islamic State.”

“This is what the Nazis did to the Jews,” David Onyillokwu, director of the International Human Rights Commission. “”

John Samuel, a legal expert for open doors, told Fox News Digital that when Islamist groups work, if Christians meet for “a prayer meeting, say, or go to a church, (that) could be a first leg, or something very deadly”.

“If you are a Christian, you convert to Islam or die.”

Samuel gives an example of a Nigerian Christian who was caught by Boko Haram fighters. According to his widow, “he was asked to deny his faith and say an Islamic prayer. He refused and he was killed instantly. You are a target. You are a target by the simple fact that you identify with Christ.”

Throughout the region, it is said that the Islamist attackers wanted the earth to belong to the Christians they attack. Lawyer Jabez Musa fights before the Nigeria court to recover this land. He told Fox News Digital that the displaced Christians “wanted their land to be restored to them for their subsistence. The cry is still, I have been dispossessed of what belongs to me, my house, food, food, earth. At the time we speak, more than 64 communities in the set of set were dispossessed and taken care of by Fulanis activists.”

“Only Christians are targeted, they are killed, moved and their lands are taken care of.”

Henrietta Blyth, CEO of Open Doors Uk and Ireland, told Fox News Digital that “African governments had to provide three things: justice – because very few of these authors are held to account, and this impunity encourages them. Restoration – people want their lives, the opportunity to rebuild their homes, send to school. most vulnerable.
