African Union AU Commission Chairperson Mahmoud Ali Youssouf says there is no genocide in northern Nigeria, rejecting accusations by United States US President Donald Trump that very large numbers of Christians were being killed in Africas most populous country.
Whats going on in the northern part of Nigeria has nothing to do with the kind of atrocities we see in Sudan or in some part of eastern DRC, Youssouf addressed reporters at the United Nations UN in New York, referring to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Think twice before making such statements, he says. The first victims of Boko Haram are Muslims, not Christians.
