Trump tells military to plan for 'action' over his claim that Nigeria allows killing of Christians
www.bbc.com
The US president says his threat is over killings of Christians - though experts say there is no evidence they are disproportionately targeted.

US President Donald Trump has ordered the military to prepare for action in Nigeria to tackle Islamist militant groups, accusing the government of failing to protect Christians.

Trump did not say which killings he was referring to, but claims of a genocide against Nigeria’s Christians have been circulating in recent weeks and months in some right-wing US circles.

Groups monitoring violence say there is no evidence to suggest that Christians are being killed more than Muslims in Nigeria, which is roughly evenly divided between followers of the two religions.

    Chucklefuck is going to start a religion based war? What the absolute fuck. Does Nigeria have rare earth metals? If so this would likely be a play to get the government to “owe him” 70 years of unregulated mining or something absurd… So much for “america-first.” Nice to know children here will die without food while he wants to spend whatever it takes to bomb African Muslims.
