A Fox News segment featuring Griff Jenkins and former Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback focused on ongoing terrorist violence against Christians in Nigeria and the role of cooperation between the Nigerian government and the United States.
During the exchange, Jenkins highlighted recent reporting indicating increased coordination between Nigerian officials and U.S. authorities.
“Important point, Sam, and that is that the Nigerian government is working with us,” Jenkins said
“As you heard from our reporting, Nigerian officials sharing Intel with the US. Where are these terrorists? Where do you see and we also reported from Secretary of War, hegseth that more to come. He wrote on social media, where do you see this heading?”
Brownback responded by stressing that any meaningful progress depends on achieving long-term stability rather than short-term military or diplomatic pressure.
“Where I see it heading is really us getting to some sort of stable situation long term,” Brownback said.
“And by that I mean where Christians are not attacked.”

He pointed to efforts made during the first Trump administration, noting that direct pressure was applied to Nigerian leadership at the time.
“The first Trump administration, he pushed on the president, then of Nigeria, to respond to these attacks,” Brownback said.
“They did. The attacks went down for a while, but it didn’t change the structure. The structure maintained itself.”
Brownback explained that the violence has remained persistent due to entrenched conditions in specific regions of the country.
“And this is Northwest Nigeria,” he said.
“We’re talking about in the center area. You’ve got the Fulani, radicalized pieces of the Fulani herdsmen that are attacking primarily Christians in that region.”
According to Brownback, those attacks represent a deeper, systemic problem that cannot be solved through temporary measures or outside intervention alone.
“That’s a longer term problem,” he said.
He argued that a sustainable solution must come from within Nigeria itself and involve ongoing protection for vulnerable communities.
“I just think we got to really get at this and provide localized protection that can be there, year in, year out,” Brownback said.
He emphasized that any such approach should not rely indefinitely on American involvement, adding it should be “not dependent upon the United States.”
