U.S. Panel Reports on Christian Genocide in Nigeria

The U.S. congressional panel, led by Congressman Mooney, submitted a report to President Donald Trump concerning alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria. This report, part of a broader investigation initiated in October 2025, highlights the persecution of Christians and proposes a bilateral agreement between the U.S. and Nigeria to protect vulnerable Christian communities from violent persecution and jihadist activities.

Key recommendations include enhancing economic cooperation, countering adversaries like the Chinese Communist Party and the Russian Federation, and co-funding humanitarian assistance for internally displaced persons, particularly in the Middle Belt region. The report also emphasizes the need for improved security measures, including the deployment of capable security forces to respond to attacks and the disarmament of militia groups.

Additionally, it calls for legal reforms to strengthen the justice sector and enhance the capabilities to disrupt terrorist financing networks. The report aims to ensure accountability for violence against Christians and suggests sanctions against perpetrators.
