ECOWAS Responds to Trump's Christian Genocide Claim in Nigeria

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has addressed US President Donald Trump's allegations of Christian genocide in Nigeria, emphasizing that terrorist activities in the region do not discriminate based on religion or ethnicity. ECOWAS highlighted that extremist violence affects both Muslims and Christians and is aimed at destabilizing communities.

The organization expressed concerns over attempts to distort the reality of insecurity in the region and rejected the narrative of religious genocide. ECOWAS called for unity among nations and international partners to combat terrorism and avoid further division.
