Kidnapped Nigerian girls sold if they don’t convert – US Ambassador Waltz

United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Mike Waltz,has stated that some girls kidnapped in Nigeria by terrorists are sold into sexslavery. In an interview on “One Nation with Brian Kilmeade,” Waltzalso revealed why Nicki Minaj was invited to speak at the UN concerning theviolence against Christians in Nigeria. The diplomat noted her reaction to President Donald Trump’scomment on social media, where the rap star decried the attacks and encouragedNigeria to do more to protect Christians. “She responded to that [President’s post] online, and thenwe invited her to the United Nations to see a panel of experts on religiousfreedom,” he explained. Waltz said that a Nigerian pastor also called in and talkedabout “the churches being burned, the children being kidnapped, and the pastorsbeing beheaded simply for wearing a cross.” According to the former National Security Adviser, theongoing atrocities are being perpetrated by “Boko Haram and 22 other Muslimextremist terrorist groups.” Waltz, however, slammed a section of the media, whichaccused Nicki Minaj of spreading misleading information about Nigeria, despitewell-documented evidence of persecution. Hailing the rapper “for fighting in what she believes,” theenvoy cited videos of “churches being literally machine gunned, of people beingburned, of people being run out of their homes.” “We have had multiple instances of girls getting kidnappedand sold into sex slavery if they don’t convert,” he added. “We know it’shappening, and shame on them.” Responding to Kilmeade’s mention of the Chibok schoolgirls’abduction in April 2014, Waltz remembered serving in Nigeria back then as aGreen Beret of the U.S. Army Special Forces. “We trained their Navy SEALs on how to go after thesegirls,” he recalled. “This has been going on for 10 years. But enough isenough; the atrocities are only getting worse.” The envoy praised Trump’s dedication to people’s rights topractice their faith freely, saying he is the first president ever to host apanel on religious freedom at the United Nations.
