In a strange development, foreign policy expert Dr Walid Phares has urged US President Donald Trump to establish an emergency base in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria, claiming that Port Harcourt is the main port city of the Biafra region.
He claimed that this was to deter Boko Haram and other jihadist groups in Nigeria and to stop their massacres of Christians and threats against moderate Muslims.
Phares, who also serves as Co-Secretary General of the Transatlantic Parliamentary Group, in a post on his X handle on Sunday, claimed that such a move would enable the rapid deployment of international humanitarian aid, especially assistance from American churches.
GISTSMATE MEDIA reported that Trump last week designated Nigeria as a country of particular concern.
The US President cited what he described as ongoing violence against Christians and failure of the government to protect religious minorities.
However, the Nigerian government denied persecution of any religious groups in Nigeria.
On Saturday, Trump went ahead to threaten military action against Nigeria if nothing is done about the matter quickly.
He wrote: “To deter #BokoHaram and other jihadist groups in Nigeria—and to stop their massacres of Christians and threats against moderate Muslims— I advise the #Trump administration to establish an emergency base in #PortHarcourt, the main port city of the #Biafra region.
“Such a move would enable the rapid deployment of international humanitarian aid, particularly assistance from American churches. President @realDonaldTrump has issued two strong statements condemning the jihadist attacks on Nigerian Christian communities and has directed the Secretary of War to prepare contingency plans for the “protection of communities” in Nigeria, should the federal government fail to stop the jihadists—as has been the case for years in northern and central Nigeria. In the meantime, targeted strikes against jihadist forces could also be considered.”
