  5. Should attention be focused on Middle Eastern financing of terror, and how do we direct US attention to that?
How do we avoid being characterised as an NGO enabling American interests, considering global geopolitical competition and rare-earth minerals? If you had the ear of the President of Nigeria today, what would you advise him to say in a meeting with Donald Trump? Does this mean the U.S. will take action against Nigeria? Why are there conflicting narratives about Trump’s intention to intervene to stop the killing of Christians? Is it really about oil or other interests? How can the US President intervene in a way that protects Christians without provoking Muslims or traditional worshippers? Should Donald Trump also sanction his allies in the Middle East who may be indirectly funding extremism? Should attention be focused on Middle Eastern financing of terror, and how do we direct US attention to that? Why has Donald Trump focused on Christian Persecution only? Why is the US only taking action now regarding some of the killings in Nigeria?

Should attention be focused on Middle Eastern financing of terror, and how do we direct US attention to that?

Answer

Yes, it’s important to focus on where the money and arms for terrorism come from.  But that is not our role at PSK-UK.  It is the role of the government who have such high-level confidential information.  For the most part, such information comes to us as “hearsay”; until we get our hands on hard evidence of verified data, we cannot “direct” the US attention anywhere. However, we can continue to stress the evil and highlight the human cost of terrorism. Encourage cooperation, not blame, showing how stopping such funding benefits global peace and security.
