Entire Nigerian populations are facing violence and terrorism due to a long-standing, ethno-religious conflict fueled by complacency and injustice within their political and governing systems. These fault lines, coupled with a lack of international recognition and intervention, threaten not only the stability of one of Africa’s cornerstone nations, it has disastrous consequences for the U.S. and international community.
As Africa’s most populous nation and largest economy, Nigeria is crucial to the stability of Western Africa, Europe, and the United States. Rising violence and terrorism committed by Boko Haram and Fulani militants throughout the country threatens this stability and the lives of thousands. ICON stands for freedom of religion and the eradication of terrorism and is calling the United States to appoint a Special Envoy to address the atrocities in Nigeria and prevent a global humanitarian crisis.
ICON focuses on two key outcomes:
ICON seeks to raise awareness around the major issues threatening the stability and safety of Nigeria’s people, provide solutions for the peace and restoration of Nigeria, and to hold their government accountable for inadequate or unjust actions.
