The Foundation for Peace Professionals has condemned the U.S. Congress’s decision to impose sanctions on Nigeria, arguing it reinforces Boko Haram’s propaganda regarding Christian persecution. Executive Director Abdulrazaq Hamzat highlights the double standards in addressing violence and urges Nigeria to maintain national unity against external pressures.
Foundation for Peace Professionals, known as PeacePro, has criticized the United States Congress for planning to impose sanctions on Nigeria due to alleged persecution of Christians. Executive Director Abdulrazaq Hamzat described this action as reckless and misleading, warning that it could empower terrorist organizations like Boko Haram by promoting their narrative that the Nigerian government is targeting Christians.
In conclusion, PeacePro asserts that the proposed U.S. sanctions could inadvertently support Boko Haram’s propaganda, mischaracterizing Nigeria’s security situation. They emphasize the importance of addressing human rights inconsistencies and urge both the Nigerian government and its citizens to stand united against divisive narratives. The organization advocates for constructive dialogue based on respect and understanding between Nigeria and international partners.
