The Government of Nigeria Versus Senator Ted Cruz
The security crisis in Nigeria is complex and has a significant religious dimension.
The Issue at Hand
The dispute between Sen. Cruz and Nigerian government officials revolves around two key questions: whether certain officials are collaborating with Boko Haram jihadists, making the government indirectly responsible for the "mass murder" of Nigerian Christians, and how to characterize the current security situation in the country.
- Are Nigerian officials in cahoots with Boko Haram, which was designated an Entity of Particular Concern (EPC) in December 2023?
- Can the insurgency be described as religious when its victims include Christians, Muslims, and others?
Why kill Muslims as well, if Boko Haram has it in for Christians only?
A summary of global news developments with analysis.
