Eric Prince's is asking the Pope to fund his PMC in deploying in Nigeria. Talk about the neverending slaughter of Christians in Nigeria (and elsewhere) is starting to go mainstream, Muslim Fulani herdsmen, radicalized Hausa villagers and a wide array of jihadists groups have been killing Nigerian Christians with impunity in much of the country, many Nigerians believe their own Northern Hausa-Fulani (Muslim) dominated central government is working in cahoots with the perps

Reminder that the Pope has still not responded to Eric Prince's offer to send his PMC to Nigeria on the Vatican's dime, nor has the Pope specifically mentioned the suffering of Nigerian Christians at the hands of both regular Muslim pastoralist tribes and jihadists.

Although I'd advise Donny to talk a bit less and act a bit more, first it was Greenland and Canada, then Venezuela and now it's suddenly Nigeria.

Twenty something have in the past week urged their citizens to immediately leave Mali, and a few of those have their started vacating their embassies+consulates in Mali. JNIM, which is an AQ affiliate, controls much of the country and has recently imposed a fuel blockade on the capital Bamako. Talk about an imminent collapse of the Malian central government is premature, yet overall the security situation has been one of steady decline. Security situation is similarly poor in Burkina Faso.
