特朗普把尼日利亚列为宗教自由特别关注国,称当地基督徒面临生存威胁

2025年10月31日,美国华盛顿,总统特朗普在社交平台 Truth Social 发文,宣布把西非国家尼日利亚列为宗教自由「特别关注国」(Country of Particular Concern)。美国国务院的特别关注国名单页同日记下这项指定:2025年10月31日,特朗普总统把尼日利亚指定为特别关注国。
特朗普在帖中写道:「基督教在尼日利亚正面临生存威胁。数以千计的基督徒正在被杀害。激进伊斯兰主义者要为这场大规模屠杀负责。我在此把尼日利亚定为『特别关注国』。」他引述的数字称,全球因信仰被杀害的基督徒有4,476人,其中3,100人在尼日利亚,并说美国不能对这样的暴行袖手旁观。他还要求众议员 Riley Moore 与众议院拨款委员会主席 Tom Cole 等人调查此事。
「特别关注国」是美国《1998年国际宗教自由法》下的指定类别,适用于被认定实施或容忍「特别严重的宗教自由侵犯」的国家,这类侵犯包括酷刑、无指控长期拘押、强迫失踪等系统性、持续而恶劣的行为。指定由总统作出,相关权力已授予国务卿行使。
尼日利亚曾在2020年特朗普首个任期内被列为特别关注国,2021年拜登政府将其从名单中移除。这次是该国再次被列入。10月31日的宣布没有同时公布具体的制裁或援助措施。
尼日利亚是非洲人口最多的国家,基督徒与穆斯林各约占人口一半,北部与中部地区多年受博科圣地等武装组织与族群暴力困扰。
Trump Designates Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern, Saying Christianity Faces an Existential Threat There
On October 31, 2025, in Washington, United States, President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he was designating Nigeria, in West Africa, as a Country of Particular Concern over religious freedom. The State Department's page listing Countries of Particular Concern records the move the same way: on October 31, 2025, President Trump also designated Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern.
Trump wrote: "Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. Thousands of Christians are being killed. Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter. I am hereby making Nigeria a 'COUNTRY OF PARTICULAR CONCERN.'" Citing figures of 3,100 Christians killed in Nigeria out of 4,476 killed worldwide for their faith, he said the United States cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening, and he asked Representative Riley Moore and House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole, among others, to investigate.
A Country of Particular Concern is a designation under the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 for countries whose governments have engaged in or tolerated particularly severe violations of religious freedom, defined as systematic, ongoing and egregious violations such as torture, prolonged detention without charges or forced disappearance. The designation is made by the President, with the authority delegated to the Secretary of State.
Nigeria was previously designated a Country of Particular Concern in 2020, during Trump's first term, and was removed from the list in 2021 under the Biden administration. The October 31 announcement did not itself announce specific sanctions or aid measures.
Nigeria is Africa's most populous country, with Christians and Muslims each making up roughly half the population, and its northern and central regions have long been afflicted by armed groups such as Boko Haram and by communal violence.
