Amid escalating violence in parts of Nigeria, the U.S. is sending troops to assist the Nigerian government by training local forces to combat militant groups, including those linked to ISIS and other Islamist militants. Fr. Patrick Alumuku, from the Archdiocese of Abuja, Nigeria, joins to provide firsthand insight into the situation on the ground. He discusses the current conditions in his diocese, how Nigerians are responding to U.S. support, and how the faithful are finding strength and hope during these unsettling times.
