Background

Nigeria faces escalating and very significant attacks on Christians, as well as terrorism, and kidnappings while its leaders fail to tackle it. We urge the UK to apply diplomatic pressure, impose targeted sanctions, and support humanitarian aid to protect lives and uphold human rights.

Additional details

Nigeria faces escalating violence, kidnappings, and Christian persecution, leaving thousands dead and displaced. The Nigerian government has failed to act decisively to put an end to the killings. The UK must apply diplomatic pressure, impose targeted sanctions, and support humanitarian aid to protect lives and uphold human rights. Our silence so far has further enabled these atrocities and it has to end now!d now!
