Protect Nigeria’s Christians From Genocide

470,002

Signatures //

90% of all Christians killed worldwide are in Nigeria. Christians live in a constant state of terror, fearing abduction, torture, and murder by radical Islamic jihadists.

Boko Haram, the jihadist army and Nigerian arm of ISIS, has slaughtered innocent Christians. It burns down Christian churches. One survivor stated, “I saw bodies in the street. Children and women, some were crying for help.” It even poses as preachers to slaughter Christian congregants and kidnaps Christian children.

Other jihadist groups, like the Fulani Herdsmen, are increasing this barbaric persecution of Christians in Nigeria, slaughtering thousands.

It's genocide. We have an obligation to act. We’re drastically expanding our Persecution Project. We’re launching a multi-pronged legal advocacy campaign, urging the U.N., U.S., and world leaders to take urgent action.

We’ve mobilized our global offices, continuing to expand our most extensive campaign for the persecuted Church ever undertaken, filing lawsuits, advocacy letters, and legal submissions to the U.N.

Together we can protect Christians in Nigeria from the growing scourge of jihadist persecution. Add your name:

ACLJ Staff Writers //

For years the ACLJ has gone to the United Nations to urge the international community to put pressure on Nigeria to protect its countless Christians and other religious minorities who are being persecuted,

Boko Haram

is one of the deadliest Islamic terrorist organizations.
It targets Christians and anyone it deems a threat to Jihad.

It's estimated that Boko Haram is responsible for nearly100,000 Deathssince 2016

As a result of Boko Haram's barbaric atrocities,

Over 2 million people have been displaced

Devastatingly, Nigeria
is also home to the
Fulani
Herdsmen,
who have waged a scorched-earth campaign against Christians - attacking farmers, destroying homes, and eviscerating churches.

The Fulani Herdsmen kidnap Christian school girls and sell them as child brides.

It's estimated that the Herdsmen have killed 60 thousand Christians since 2001.

This year alone, the Herdsmen slaughtered 6,000 Christians - many of whom were innocent women and children.

In April,
the Herdsmen opened fire on a Christian church service.

They slaughtered 17 worshippers and 2 priests. Nigerian President Buhari called it "satanic."

The very next day, the Herdsmen attacked scores of villages just 40 miles from the church. Using AK-47s, the Herdsmen slaughtered 39 Christians.

At this current deadly rate, it's estimated that Christians in
Nigeria will be wiped off the face of the earth by 2043

You can help save nigerian christians.
