ECOWAS Rejects US Accusations of Religious Persecution in Nigeria The Economic Community of West African States denounced US claims that terrorists in Nigeria are targeting Christians as "false and dangerous.""Perpetrators of this violence target innocent civilians of all religious denominations, including Muslims, Christians, and adherents to other religions," the bloc said in a statement.ECOWAS called on the UN and international partners to support member states' counter-terrorism efforts and reject narratives suggesting a religious genocide. Trump had labeled Nigeria a "country of particular concern" and suggested potential military action, including drone strikes, against Islamist groups—actions proposed without an official request for assistance from Abuja.Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
