QUOTES FROM TRANSCRIPT (beginning 52:00) - Nigerian man speaking
. . . when Boko Haram came on board they said very plainly to us that their leading ideology is that they reject Christianity and they reject Western values. It's as plainly stated, was repeated several times. There was no doubt about what they stood for. . . .
. . . . So they came out as a religious group that was opposed to Christianity in Nigeria. Now the narrative moved from Boko Haram to Fulani herdsmen, and Fulani herdsmen are ravaging everywhere in the country. As we speak now, the Fulani herdsmen themselves have not denied that they are doing what they are doing. They have a group called Mighty Allah that speaks for them. You can google them and find out what they themselves are saying . . .
. . . . We're not asking for arms. We're not asking for money but just asking you to speak out on our behalf, plead with your government. The other day, our president came here, and I think it was at the Rose Garden, your president made a very simple statement, very simple statement. For months after, there was a lull in the killing.
