Contributing sentiments towards policy:

39% : "By downplaying the ethnic, religious, and economic dimensions of the carnage, the State Department diplomats are appeasing the Nigerian government, misleading Congress, and deluding themselves.""Nothing says the State Department report is arrant nonsense more than the glaring facts of the rivers of martyrs blood flowing in Nigeria in which the "see no genocide, hear no genocide, say no genocide" Anthony Blinken team are actively covering up in defiance of United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) and others," Ogebe said.
38% : In the words of the report, "The Secretary of State determined that Nigeria did not meet the criteria to be designated as a Country of Particular Concern for engaging in, or tolerating, particularly severe violations of religious freedom -- or as a Special Watch List country for engaging in, or tolerating, severe violations of religious freedom under the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998."
36% : "The [U.S.] Embassy is fundamentally misconceiving the nature of the problem, which is a breakdown in law enforcement," Destro said.
