In a powerful testimony at the United Nations, Boko Haram survivors Joy Bishara and Lydia Pogu shared their harrowing escape from the clutches of Islamic extremists. Their story highlights the ongoing persecution of Christians in Nigeria and the urgent need for action.
President Donald Trump has rightly called attention to this dire situation, recognizing that the Nigerian government has failed to protect the fundamental rights of its Christian citizens. The inaction and incompetence of Nigerian authorities in the face of Boko Haram's relentless attacks on religious freedom is unacceptable.
As a nation founded on Judeo-Christian values and constitutionally committed to religious liberty, the United States has a moral obligation to stand with persecuted Christians worldwide. We must use our economic and diplomatic influence to pressure the Nigerian government to take decisive action against Boko Haram and ensure the safety and rights of all its citizens, regardless of their faith.
Private charities and faith-based organizations are already doing vital work to support persecuted Christians in Nigeria, but they cannot address this crisis alone. The U.S. government must provide additional resources and expertise to empower local communities to defend themselves and build resilience against extremist violence.
By partnering with Nigeria's Christian communities, we can help them safeguard their religious traditions, protect their families, and contribute to the country's stability and economic growth. A Nigeria that respects religious freedom and the rule of law will be a stronger ally and trading partner for the United States.
The brave testimony of survivors like Joy Bishara and Lydia Pogu is a clarion call for America to uphold its values and stand with the persecuted. We must not turn a blind eye to the suffering of our Christian brothers and sisters in Nigeria. It is time for principled American leadership in defense of religious liberty.
