The European Union (EU) has said that religion is only one of the factors behind the violence in Nigeria, and only in certain instances.
EU Spokesperson for Foreign Affairs and Security Anouar El Anouni, responding to a question about United States President Donald Trump’s recent remarks on Nigeria, said that when it comes to Nigeria, the EU has taken note of the statements made by the American administration.
Anouni also said the EU expressed its solidarity with all the communities and families affected by the violence, including the recent large-scale attacks in the southern belt of Nigeria and in the northeast.
He said, “The EU reaffirms its commitment to freedom of religion and belief and to the protection of all communities, especially to minorities, and we underline our commitment to the peaceful coexistence of the Nigerian population, beyond geographical, ethnic, political, or religious differences. We recognise the many factors behind the violence in Nigeria. Let us note that religion is only one of these factors, and only in certain instances.”
The EU Spokesperson further said the European Union cooperates with the competent Nigerian authorities and implements multifaceted support in Nigeria to prevent violence, to encourage the consolidation of peace and to assist the victims of violence and forced displacement.
