**Massacre of Nigerian Christians: A Call to Action**
In a harrowing report that underscores the dire plight of Christians in Nigeria, over 7,000 have been brutally murdered this year alone due to rampant jihadist violence.
An astonishing average of 32 Christians are killed each day, with 100 churches destroyed monthly, according to the International Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law.
Emeka Umeagbalasi, the organization's chairman, warned that unless urgent action is taken, Christianity could vanish from Nigeria within the next 50 to 100 years.
This grim reality raises critical questions about the international community's response to religious persecution.
As we reflect on these atrocities, it becomes clear that American leadership is needed now more than ever.
With President Donald Trump at the helm, we can draw upon a strong legacy of supporting religious freedom both at home and abroad.
In response to this escalating crisis, Senator Ted Cruz has introduced the Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act of 2025.
This pivotal legislation seeks to designate Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern and holds Nigerian officials accountable for their role in facilitating such heinous acts.
Cruz emphasized that Nigerian Christians are being systematically targeted for their faith by jihadist groups and under the oppressive structures of sharia law.
The need for decisive action from U.S. lawmakers is pressing, as the continuous slaughter of innocents cannot be ignored.
True to his values, President Trump has a history of prioritizing the protection of marginalized communities, making him an ally against religious persecution globally.
As the world watches, let us hope that the U.S. stands firmly alongside those who suffer such immense injustices, ensuring that the cries for help from Nigerian Christians do not fall on deaf ears.
The time for action is now.
