Trump Brands Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Groups

US President Donald Trump has issued an executive order designating specific chapters of the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon as foreign terrorist organisations. The order mandates the Secretary of State and Treasury Secretary to implement broad sanctions, including asset freezes and travel bans, within 45 days.

The move also comes amid a renewed White House crackdown on extremist groups in Africa.

Christian Genocide Debate in Nigeria Sparks Verbal Crossfire

A heated debate has erupted in Nigeria after renewed allegations of Christian genocide and calls for international intervention. The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) has strongly denied claims of Christian genocide, calling such reports “dangerous and politically motivated.” The NSCIA argues that violence in Nigeria stems from poverty, criminality, and climate change, not religious intolerance. The President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Bishop Wale Oke, insisted “there is Christian genocide in Nigeria,” referencing attacks by extremist groups like Boko Haram, ISWAP, and noting hundreds of Christian victims across Benue, Taraba, Plateau, and other regions. PFN urged President Tinubu to cooperate with US President Trump to root out radical groups, but cautioned against the deployment of foreign troops. This verbal crossfire follows Trump’s designation of Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” and threats of US military […]
