Wole Soyinka Criticizes Trump Over Threat to Deploy U.S. Troops to Nigeria. Nobel Prize winner Wole Soyinka has criticized former U.S. President Donald Trump for his recent remarks about sending American troops to Nigeria. Soyinka stated that these comments demonstrate a lack of understanding of Nigeria's ongoing security challenges. 



He made these statements on Friday after meeting with Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia in Makurdi. The playwright emphasized that Nigeria's issues cannot be resolved by outsiders who do not comprehend the underlying causes of the violence.


Soyinka condemned Trump for claiming he would "come to help" Nigeria without adequately assessing the situation. He described such statements as reckless and dismissive of those who have been addressing the conflict for years. "You can't just say, 'I'm coming to help you whether you like it or not... and I'm bringing violence from outside without a thorough understanding of the complexities involved,'" he remarked.


He cautioned that bold assertions about using force only escalate tensions. "And you say, 'I'm coming to help you, I'm coming in with guns blazing.' And when we arrive, 'it's going to be fast, vicious, and swift,'" he added. Soyinka reiterated his long-standing belief that Nigeria's problems stem from violent groups that exploit religion for their own gain, rather than from faith itself.


He also emphasized the responsibility of governments to protect their citizens while honoring victims. "Is that the language of someone who is in their right mind? Any government has a duty to ensure the welfare of its citizens. But at the very least, there should be respect for victims and those working to find solutions to this unacceptable situation," he stated.


Recently, Trump labeled Nigeria a "Country of Particular Concern" due to alleged attacks on Christians and threatened to send U.S. forces if the violence continued. The Nigerian Federal Government rejected this characterization, asserting that it does not accurately reflect the country's reality.
