United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Mike Waltz, has claimed that some girls kidnapped in Nigeria are sold by terrorists into sex slavery.
Waltz, in an interview with One Nation with Brian Kilmeade, stated that the ongoing atrocities are being perpetrated by “Boko Haram and 22 other Muslim extremist terrorists.”
He also revealed why Nicki Minaj was invited to speak at the UN concerning the violence against Christians in Nigeria.
According to the former National Security Adviser, the rapper was invited because of her reaction to President Donald Trump’s comment on social media,
“She responded to that [President’s post] online, and then we invited her to the United Nations to see a panel of experts on religious freedom,” he explained.
Waltz said that a Nigerian pastor also called in and talked about “the churches being burned, the children being kidnapped, and the pastors being beheaded simply for wearing a cross.”
Waltz, however, slammed a section of the media, which accused Nicki Minaj of spreading misleading information about Nigeria, despite well-documented evidence of persecution.
Hailing the rapper “for fighting in what she believes,” the envoy cited videos of “churches being literally machine gunned, of people being burned, of people being run out of their homes.
“We have had multiple instances of girls getting kidnapped and sold into sex slavery if they don’t convert. We know it’s happening, 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 a Green Beret of the U.S. Army Special Forces.
“We trained their Navy SEALs on how to go after these girls. This has been going on for 10 years. But enough is enough; the atrocities are only getting worse,” he said.
The envoy praised Trump’s dedication to people’s rights to practice their faith freely, stating that he is the first president to have hosted a panel on religious freedom at the United Nations.
