U.S. Congressmen Rule Out Troop Deployment to Nigeria, Call Violence Against Muslims and Christians “Unacceptable”
A bipartisan U.S. Congressional delegation visiting Nigeria has ruled out sending American troops to address the country’s insecurity, emphasizing that the U.S. designation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) aims to drive reforms through diplomatic pressure, not military intervention. Led by Congressman Bill Huizenga and including Reps. Michael Baumgartner, Keith Self, and Jefferson Shreve, the delegation met with Nigerian officials, religious leaders, and civil society representatives to discuss religious freedom, accountability, and strategies to curb violence across the country. While condemning attacks on both Muslims and Christians, the lawmakers stressed non-military support such as humanitarian assistance, institutional reforms, and capacity-building as key approaches to improving stability in Nigeria.
