flag U.S. designates Nigeria a "Country of Particular Concern" over religious violence, citing Christian persecution, sparking dispute with Nigeria.

flag Trump has designated Nigeria a "Country of Particular Concern" over religious freedom violations, citing an alleged existential threat to Christians due to violence by Islamist groups like Boko Haram and ISWAP. flag The move, announced on October 31, 2025, could lead to U.S. sanctions and follows claims of thousands of Christian deaths and church attacks, though Nigeria disputes the narrative, stating most victims are Muslims and that violence stems from complex factors including ethnic conflict and resource disputes. flag The designation reverses a 2023 removal and reflects ongoing U.S. concerns, with Senator Ted Cruz advocating for further action.
