  Speaker 1: President Trump says the persecution and killing of Christians in
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Nigeria is quote genocide. Others say it's not quite that simple,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: but there is no doubt Nigeria has a major problem
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: with mass killings and kidnappings of both Christians and Muslims
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: going back more than ten years. This week, two more
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: mass subductions at schools in the countries North and West.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Hundreds of children taken from a Catholic school yesterday, one
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: bishop urging action there.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Without quick intervention, Christianity risks elimination a pass from northern
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: and Middle Nigeria within a very short time. The Church
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: alone cannot stop the achillis. It requires coordinated political, military,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: and humanitarian intervention. Mister Sherman and members the Blode of
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: nigera priscians christops to you people. We cannot afford to
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: wait any longer.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Let's bring in Reverend Father Rebilius a Hula of the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Catholic Diocese of mccrority in Nigeria. He's also the director
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: of the Foundation for Justice, Development and Peace. Peace it
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: seems is in short supply in your country.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Thank you John for having me, and I want to
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: thank you very much for this platform actually there is
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: no peace, even though I heard I had the foundation
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: for justice, development and peace. We have been noticing for
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: many years. We've been witnessing for many years killings and adoptions.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Like judges cribe, I come from Bernistad, which is part
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: of the Middle Bed of Nigeria, where we have documented
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: these killings since two thousand and one. So it's not
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: just ten years like people want to refer to. Maybe
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: the picking of the killings and abductions can be reduced
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: to change years, but we have systematic mentation of this
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: killings taking place as far back as two thousand and
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: one when the Calic Church in the diocese first opened
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: and internally displaced people's camp. So we have experienced these
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: killings and displacement for many, many years.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: It's not just chang us.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Those three hundred and fifty school girls that were kidnapped,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: what happens to them? I mean, what are the chances
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: of getting them freed? Do you think?
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Very little? Sorry to say, and I say very little,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: because this is not the first. If you have have
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: followed the history of Nigeria in the recent past, school
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: girls were kidnapped in twenty fourteen. In twenty fifteen, others
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: were kidnapped. There is a famous girl who was kidnapped
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: in Dupchy alongside other girls. That is called Lea Sharibu.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: She's not being return to her parents to a family
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: opt to now the many others who have been kidnapped
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: like that have not been returned. So I I'm sorry
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: to say, but I think that the chances to be
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: very sleepy because this ISLAMI is. What they do is
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: that they either married his young girls or they trade
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: them off to other Arab countries. We hear that Libya
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: is a transit point. In my hosted there is a
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: case last week of some guests were trafficked to those
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: places and so many of them will be sold or
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: many of them will be married to this this militaris themselves.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: We have a map that shows the situation in your country.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: The north largely Islamic, the middle part of the country
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: sort of a bit of a mixed bag, and the
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: south is predominantly Christian. But we note the locations of
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: the Boko Haram hotbeds. Boko Haram is perhaps the worst offend,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: is it not when it comes to violence against Christians.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: When bog Aram started, it was the worst of fend
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: out of violence against Christians started in the in the
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: northeast of our country in a place called Borono State.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: When they started in the two thousands, they used to
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: be the the most deadly, deadly Islamic group as I
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: speak to you today, the deadliest Islamic group with the
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: full and ethnic militia that is operating in the Middle
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: bed or the country where you highlighted and you you
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: have the pictures very well. So the full militants coming,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: the numbers, they are armed with echo for the savants,
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: the common motorcycles, the surround villages, displaced a lot of people,
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: kill as many as they can. I'm sure you you
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: you're aware of what took place this year in my
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: own state. It's just some kilometers away from the capital
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: state of mccady in this city called Waterway. They came
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: shouted a lack work bar and they killed over two
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: hundred and seventy people. I have the names of every
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: individual was killed on that day. So this is not
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: just happening in Benonstrade. Also Plato State has been been
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: very much hit by this full any ethnic militia. So
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: it is true that Bookwaram is deadly. But in the
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: last ten years or twefty ten years, the full any
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: militants have overtaken bookam in the brutality of killings that
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: they're doing and stuff like that.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so much for the so called religion of peace Romilia.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: So Hula, we wish you well and we urge strength
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: and prayers as you can.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Thank you, John, I thank you for giving all this
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: platform because many times we'll have our stories have been
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: stifled and no one wants to take our news. So
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: I thank you for giving us this platform. And please
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: thank President Trump who has brought this to the attention
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: of the word. I think big. By this intervention, Nigeria
