    i remember a tweet below that jewish insider piece defending RSF mentioning how now everybody’s talking about what’s going on in sudan and not christians getting attacked in nigeria. it’s completely possible that a trump aide or fox news commentator saw that and started chirping about nigeria which planted this seed into trump’s brain. trump’s completely demented, he’s always listening to the last person that talked to him and pulled his nutsacks. fuck this.

      I went to Nigeria specifically to help out a “missionary” ministry back in 2013ish, and the “christians are being murdered there just for our faith!” thing was a huuuuuuge line. After spending a couple months there though, that was largely disproven, and one of the locals their explained how it happens pretty well to me, at least in Jos, where we stayed. Jos is a city that’s basically 50/50 christian/muslim. geographically anyway, not sure on the demographics. North was muslim, south was christian. The people that live in Jos are all friendly. Work and live and play together, all the time. But when outside extremists come to the area specifically for an attack, they know if they just target whichever area they hate, they can set off a bomb or start a fire or whatever and kill 95% christians/muslims. its fucked, and what makes it more fucked is that none of the missionaries care when it was muslims getting slaughtered. it only registered when it was christians, and that’s why we needed to go to jos to save our christian brethren!
