United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Mike Waltz
United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Mike Waltz, has described the recent killings of Christians in Nigeria as a “genocide wearing the mask of chaos.”
Fox News reports that Waltz made the comment on Tuesday at an event hosted by the United States Mission to the United Nations.
DAILY POST reports that the event highlighted religious violence and the killings of Christians in the most populous African nation.
Earlier, DAILY POST reported that American rap icon Nicki Minaj and Waltz were expected to headline a UN event this week, focusing on allegations of widespread persecution and targeted killings of Christians in Nigeria.
The engagement was facilitated by political strategist Alex Bruesewitz, marking one of the most high-profile global interventions on Nigeria’s religious-violence crisis.
The allegation has also recently drawn international scrutiny to the issue.
