00:00But particularly, the United States is concerned and outraged by the ongoing slaughter of thousands of Christians in Nigeria
00:12by various ethnic militias in the Middle Belt, as well as terrorists like Boko Haram and ISIS West Africa in the north.
00:21It is tragic, and it is unacceptable.
00:25Churches are burning, villages are being razed, thousands are killed, clergy murdered simply for wearing a cross, for being a Christian, for daring to say they worship Jesus as Christ.
00:43Just yesterday, 25 little girls were kidnapped from their school, and one school official murdered trying to protect them from MAGA Comprehensive Girls Secondary School in Kebby State.
01:04Colleagues, this is happening. It's undeniable, and it's unacceptable.
01:12The United States condemns these attacks in the strongest terms, and it demands accountability.
01:17And as President Trump has made clear, we will not stand by while such atrocities are happening in Nigeria.
01:23The government of Nigeria must take immediate steps and do more to increase security, respond to early warnings, end impunity, and address the drivers of violence.
