United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Mike Waltz, has described the recent killings of Christians in Nigeria as a “genocide wearing the mask of chaos.

“Fox News reports that Waltz made the comment on Tuesday at an event hosted by the United States Mission to the United Nations.

“There is a body of evidence, and you are going to hear that from our experts today that paints a very grim picture of disproportionate suffering among Christians, where, again, families are torn apart, clergy is repeatedly assassinated, and entire congregations, church congregations,” Waltz said.
