Trump threatens Nigeria over genocide allegation

Sheikh Gumi's prediction came amid the threat by US President Donald Trump to launch a military operation in Nigeria, alleging that Christians are being persecuted by some Islamic extremists in the West African country.

Trump had earlier redesignated Nigeria as a "Country of Particular Concern", a move that has been condemned by China and the European Union.

US plans military base in PH

While the allegation has been debunked by the Nigerian authorities, there are indications that the US was planning to establish a military base in Port Harcourt, Nigeria's oil headquarters, which is about 1,370 kilometres away from Maiduguri, the epicentre of the terror activities.

Many analysts have maintained that the US president lied about his claim, and his position has been rejected by China and the European Union. They have called for respect for Nigeria's sovereignty and that the country should be allowed to manage its internal affairs.
