Black Agenda Radio · Major Power Politics, Rare Earth Minerals, and Claims of Genocide in Nigeria

David Hundeyin is a Nigerian investigative journalist, bestselling author, and founder of West Africa Weekly, an independent Pan-African digital news publication focusing on West Africa and the Sahel region. He joins us from Accra, Ghana, to discuss the claim that there is a Muslim genocide against Christians taking place in Nigeria. President Trump and Secretary of War Hegseth vowed to kill “Islamic terrorists” there, but major power competition, a puppet government, and a search for a source of rare earth minerals are behind the headline-grabbing narrative.
