YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn this episode of The Miller Report: Real Clear Journalism, Maggie Miller speaks with investigative journalist Maggie Phillips about her latest report on the growing wave of violence against Christians in Nigeria and why the story is far more complex than simply religious persecution.
From the June coordinated attacks in Nigeria’s Middle Belt, where more than 200 Christians were killed, to the broader conflict driven by Boko Haram, ISIS-linked militants, and unchecked banditry, Phillips unpacks the overlapping forces of religion, ethnicity, and weak governance fueling chaos across the region. The discussion also explores what forces have led to this issue, how the area can restore a rule of law to move forward in peace, and how U.S. lawmakers are proposing to address it.
