Trump's Adviser: Boko Haram, ISIS Kill More Muslims Than Christians in Nigeria

Massad Boulo, a senior adviser on Arab and African affairs to former US President Donald Trump, refuted allegations of religious persecution in Nigeria, highlighting that Boko Haram and ISIS have killed both Muslims and Christians. He emphasized that the violence in Nigeria is not solely driven by religion but is part of broader insecurity affecting the nation.

Boulo commended efforts to enhance security in volatile areas, particularly in the Middle Belt region, where clashes between herders and farmers occur. The statement comes amidst renewed debates in Washington regarding Nigeria's classification in the fight against terrorism.
