NigeriaThese attacks represent a dangerous escalation in the violence against civil authorities in Northern Nigeria. By targeting media, the extremists are attacking not only innocents, but the idea of free speech itself. By targeting churches and places of worship, the extremists are attacking not only innocents, but freedom of religion.  The United States stands together with all people of good will who repudiate these kinds of outrageous attacks. We support those who recognize Nigeria’s diversity as one of the country’s greatest strengths. Lawless violence and intimidation have no place in a democracy.
The United States supports the Nigerian authorities in their efforts to bring the perpetrators of these violent acts to justice. In this, we stress the importance of respecting human rights and protecting civilians in all security operations.
