Summary

Across Nigeria, Christians are being hunted. Behind much of this brutality stands the enduring ideological shadow of the Sokoto Caliphate — a centuries-old jihadist project that continues to fuel modern groups determined to eradicate Christianity from large parts of Africa. While the world looks away or offers empty statements, one man has repeatedly traveled into the heart of the killing fields to document the atrocities, bring aid to survivors, and confront this evil head-on. On this powerful episode of Dangerous Intellectuals, former Blanco, Texas Mayor and author of Epicenter, Mike Arnold, delivers a raw, firsthand account of the genocide the mainstream media refuses to cover. He connects the historical roots of the Sokoto Caliphate to the current wave of violence and explains why this is not just a regional tragedy, but part of a much larger global assault on Christianity and national sovereignty. https://mikearnold.org Duration: 1:10:43
