The White House is responding to a surge in violent attacks against Christians in sub-Saharan Africa, where Islamist militant groups have carried out a series of deadly massacres. Recent incidents include the killing of 49 worshipers in the Democratic Republic of Congo and 27 villagers in Nigeria, with survivors and local leaders describing widespread brutality and displacement. Human rights organizations report that over 150,000 people have been killed in jihadist violence over the past decade, and more than 16 million Christians have been driven from their homes across the region. Calls for urgent action are growing, with demands for justice, restoration, and protection for affected communities, as many criticize the lack of accountability and effective security measures. The United States government has stated its commitment to promoting religious freedom and is working with the State Department to address the crisis.
