Trump Administration has condemned the mass killings of christians in Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa.

NewsOnline Nigeria reports that the Donald Trump–led United States government has strongly condemned a wave of brutal attacks targeting Christians in Nigeria and across sub-Saharan Africa, describing the violence as “horrific” and pledging to work with international partners to end the crisis.

According to Fox News, the White House stressed that religious freedom remains both a moral duty and a U.S. foreign policy priority. “The Trump administration condemns in the strongest terms this horrific violence against Christians,” it said, vowing a decisive response.

The condemnation follows a massacre in Bindi Ta-hoss, Plateau State, Nigeria, where Islamist Fulani militants killed at least 27 Christians, many of them women and children, burning victims alive inside a church. Survivor Solomon Sunday told reporters: “I lost my wife and second daughter in the attack. They were burned alive.”

Just days earlier, on July 27, 49 Christians were slaughtered with machetes during prayers in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Authorities blamed the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), an ISIS-linked militant group.

Human rights groups, including Christian Solidarity International, warn that such attacks are part of an ongoing campaign of “ethno-religious cleansing” by Islamist extremists like Boko Haram and ISIS West Africa, with over 165 Christians killed in Plateau State alone in the past four months.

According to Open Doors, more Christians are killed for their faith in Nigeria than in the rest of the world combined. Over the past decade, jihadist violence in sub-Saharan Africa has claimed about 150,000 lives and displaced more than 16 million people.

Religious leaders accuse militants of attempting to establish an Islamic State in parts of Nigeria, while victims’ families say they are “tired of condolences” and demand real protection.
