There are signs that the United States government may once again add Nigeria to its list of nations that violate religious freedom.<\/p>\n

In 2021, the US government removed Nigeria from its list of countries that violate religious freedom, despite the recommendation of the US Commission on International Religious Freedom.<\/p>\n

However, according to a Fox News report on Wednesday, Chris Smith, a US representative for New Jersey’s fourth congressional district, introduced a bipartisan resolution<\/a> on Tuesday to add Nigeria to the State Department’s annual list of countries that violate religious freedom.<\/p>\n

In addition, the report cited David Curry, president and CEO of Global Christian Relief, who spoke at the International Religious Freedom Summit on Tuesday in Washington, D.C., as advocating for Nigeria to be designated as a country of particular concern.<\/p>\n

Curry argued that the alleged abortion program by the Nigerian military was carried out on victims without their consent or religious consideration.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince 2013, the Nigerian military has run a secret mass abortion program in the war against Boko Haram.” A recent Reuters investigation revealed that at least 10,000 pregnancies among women and girls ended after many had been kidnapped and raped.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe army forced abortions on at least 10,000 women without their consent or consideration of their religious views after they had been kidnapped and raped by Boko Haram terrorists.” “Yet, rather than be intimidated into silence, 33 of these women spoke openly to journalists about these unspeakable, grotesque violations of their bodily autonomy and created international awareness of the situation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The report added that a former Congressman, Frank Wolf, lamented that there had been no action taken to help Christians in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

He stated that the \u201cBring Back Our Girls\u201d movement was an effort to find the mostly Christian female students aged from 16 to 18 who were kidnapped by Boko Haram in 2014.<\/p>\n

\u201cDoes anyone remember the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls?” Well, whatever happened, we\u2019re all those guys who went on television and (posted) the hashtag\u2026 50% of the girls did not return. I met with some of the Chibok parents. “They wonder what in God’s name the world is doing,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Fox News also quoted a State Department spokesperson as saying, \u201cThe secretary determined that the status of religious freedom in Nigeria did not meet the legal threshold to justify Nigeria\u2019s designation as a country of particular concern or their inclusion on the Special Watch List.” We continue to have concerns about religious freedom in Nigeria, which are well documented in the annual IRF report<\/a>, and we will continue to press the government to address them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe State Department has redesignated Boko Haram and ISIS-WA as entities of particular concern for religious freedom. It has also designated these entities as “foreign terrorist organizations” and “specially designated global terrorists.\u201d<\/p>\n

Calls to the phone number of the spokeswoman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Francisca Omayuli, were not answered. She has yet to respond to a message sent to her on the matter as of the time of filing this report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
