Open Doors (and other NGOs) are already helping. USA implies The Government which to me implies the army. Would Nigerian Christians use small arms to kill people? Not sure about that. Would the (Islamic) Nigerian Government allow the USA to arm a Christian militia? Absolutely sure about that! Boots on the ground?
That’s why I voted no. I couldn’t see how Government intervention could de-escalate the violence – quite the opposite. Better off leaving it to the NGO staff on the ground, in the thick of it, who can assess and react to the situations far quicker than a bureaucracy.
