INMATES IN CHARGE AT STATE: Nigeria, which is being torn apart by Islamic radicals who ruthlessly and brutally murder Christian pastors and congregants on a daily basis, is no longer on the State Department’s list of “Countries of Particular Concern,” reports Alliance Defending Freedom International (ADFI).

“Christians living in Nigeria face some of the worst acts of persecution. Millions of people have fled devastating violence and have become internally displaced. As a result of the violence, 13,000 churches have been closed or destroyed altogether,” according to ADFI.

“Many victims have been kidnapped, raped, forcibly converted or married, or sold into slavery. Reports show that at least 17 Christians were killed every day in the first half of 2021 alone.”

Among other things, removing Nigeria from that list cleared the way for Secretary of State Anthony Blinken to hand $2.1 billion in new aid to the Nigerian regime that allows, and in many respects, assists the insurgents in their bloody attacks. It’s not like Blinken doesn’t know these facts because he was told in a private meeting by a pastor, according to The Epoch Times.
