Overview
- Minaj is scheduled to speak Tuesday at U.N. headquarters with U.S. Ambassador Mike Waltz, with Trump adviser Alex Bruesewitz also expected to deliver remarks.
- Waltz confirmed the event on X and said they will outline steps the President is taking; Minaj thanked him and pledged not to stand down in the face of injustice.
- The event comes after the State Department named Nigeria a 'country of particular concern' and President Trump publicly threatened possible military action.
- Nigeria’s government says the security crisis is not a religious war and disputes claims of anti‑Christian genocide, a view echoed by experts who describe overlapping militant, criminal, and communal violence.
- Advocacy groups cite very high death and abduction totals for Christians and rank Nigeria as extremely dangerous, though independent datasets show incomplete records and no clear evidence of disproportionate targeting.
