US President Donald Trump has repeated his threat of a military operation in Nigeria over the killings of Christians, and that it could be ground or air attacks. As claims of Christian “persecution” in Africa’s most populous country have found traction online among the US and European right, experts say Nigeria’s myriad conflicts kill both Christians and Muslims without distinction. Trump’s remarks came after the Nigerian presidency suggested a meeting between the two leaders to resolve the issue. Asked by an AFP reporter aboard Air Force One if he was considering US troops on the ground in Nigeria or air strikes, Trump replied: “Could be, I mean, a lot of things — I envisage a lot of things.” “They’re killing the Christians and killing them in very large numbers. We’re not going to allow that to happen,” he said Sunday. Nigeria’s government denies that Christians are especially targeted.
