Judd Saul, welcome to Real Talk with Zubi. It's a pleasure to have you here.

Thanks for having me on, sir. It's a pleasure.

Fantastic. Well, Jud, you are doing some very important work, and you have been for many, many years.

So please tell my audience who you are and what it is that you do.

My name is Judd Saul. I'm the executive director of an organization called Equipping the

persecuted. We have been a Boots on the Ground mission in Nigeria since 2019, responding to attacks

within 48 hours, doing the best we can to respond to those attacks. We've been solely dedicated

to helping persecuted Christians in Nigeria

in any way we can, not only with humanitarian aid, but also trying to work on preventative measures

to stop the killing. And for people who aren't familiar with the situation that's been going on

in Nigeria for the past couple decades and which is finally getting more

international light now. Can you just give an overview of what's going on? Well, currently what's

happening is your, well, over time, over the last 30, 40 years, you've seen a incremental increase

in radical Islam invading Nigeria from the north, and they've been conquering

little by little community after community over a certain period of time, and what we're

witnessing right now is a major clash of that because it's now entering very large Christian

populations, and they have systematically been trying to take out one

Christian village after another. I call it death by a thousand attacks. And since, I'd say,

over the last 20 years, we've seen well over 600 Christian communities completely wiped off the map.

And the survivors of these attacks of the the survivors of these, from these communities

have been shoved and pushed into what we call IDP camps, which stands for internally displaced

person.
