Nigeria Slams UN Over Exclusion from Genocide Event

Nigeria has formally protested its exclusion from a high-profile UN event in New York discussing alleged genocide and Christian persecution. The country criticized the decision as unfair and lacking transparency, following recent comments by US President Donald Trump.

Nigerian officials rejected the allegations of failing to protect Christian communities and emphasized ongoing efforts to combat extremist groups. The exclusion of Nigeria from the event raised concerns about participation and potential retribution.

Senior US official Patricia Mahoney's visit to Nigeria was also highlighted.
