Fears remain this Easter that Christians in Nigeria are being ‘wiped out' by Muslim extremists
Fox News
In Nigeria, Christians face attacks from Islamist militants seeking a caliphate. A group urges U.S. sanctions and aid cuts until Nigeria takes effective action to halt the violence.
"Nigeria’s Christians are being wiped out; we need to call it what it is — genocide," Jeff King, president of International Christian Concern (ICC), a persecution watchdog, told Fox News Digital.

"Let’s start with the horrible attacks on April 2-3, 2025, in (Nigeria’s) Plateau State’s Bokkos County. Over 60 Christians (were) slaughtered, and 383 homes torched" King said. "Families were burned alive, and kids were left homeless. It’s gut-wrenching. The worst thing is that there’s nothing truly "special" about this attack. This has gone on for 20 years and has only expanded."

Israeli U.N. Ambassador Danny Danon accuses the U.N. of using threats and "mafia-like" tactics against NGOs supporting the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
A U.K. government document flagged the possibility that Gaza cash assistance could benefit Hamas, a claim British officials deny. But critics say the issue remains unresolved.
Hamas agrees to release of 10 living hostages and return the bodies of 18 more, but terms that include a permanent ceasefire and complete Israeli withdrawal from Gaza have been deemed unacceptable by the U.S. and Israel.
