Nigerian Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka on Denial of His U.S. Visa & Trump's Threat to Strike Nigeria

[Uncle Joe]

We speak to Wole Soyinka, the 91-year-old celebrated Nigerian writer and first African Nobel laureate, who recently had his U.S. visa revoked after he made comments critical of Trump. As Trump threatens U.S. military action against Nigeria over claims of a "Christian genocide" in the country, Soyinka says, "when religious differences began to be invoked as a means of political power, and even social and economic powers, we've had unquestionably the issue of impunity." By "expanding the force of hostility," he adds, "Trump is not making things easy for there to be a resolution."
