But I mean, there have always been tribal conflict.

I spoke to the foreign minister before I came here because I wanted to get clarity on the government's position.

Absolutely.

Let's be clear.

President Tanubo's wife is a Christian pastor.

This is not targeted at Christians.

There are probably an equal or more number of Muslim deaths.

I am grateful to President Trump for identifying these attacks on Christians.

Believe it or not, you can blame some of this on the French who had this.

They had a massive force in the Sahel.

They armed the Toregs, which are a notoriously aggressive tribal group.

that has that arming has led to mass killings of christians the um fact that when libya blew apart a massive amount of arms went down to boko haram can't be denied by anyone nigeria wants

to consult with the United States.

Nigeria wants assistance in protecting Christians and Muslims, protecting their populations.

Nigeria feels it has not had a fair shake from Washington.

And I'm not, you know, I don't work for Nigeria.

I'm not going to go on and on.

The foreign minister is a close friend who I respect deeply.

But I can tell you from my work, I was privileged to represent one of the Nigerian states years ago at Kwaibam.

We won a case actually for them.
