United States Congresswoman Sara Jacobs has criticized President Donald Trump’s threat of military action in Nigeria over alleged Christian genocide, describing it as “r£ckless.”
Jacobs made the remarks on Thursday during a US Congress hearing on Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern.
The Democrat, representing California’s 51st Congressional District, said attributing the v+olence in Nigeria solely to a religious crisis does not capture the full picture.
“President Trump’s thr+at is r£ckless, and any unilateral military action in Nigeria is illegal. Congress has not authorised force in Nigeria to protect Christians,” she said.
Jacobs, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Africa, added that the v+olence affects both Christians and Muslims.
She also urged the Nigerian government to do more to protect its citizens.
