Boko Haram terrorists
U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) has confirmed that more than 200 terrorists have been killed in coordinated operations with Nigerian troops against ISIS fighters in the terror-infested northeast.
In a post on X, AFRICOM said the missions eliminated several key ISIS figures, including second in command Abu-Bilal al-Minuki.
The post said no U.S. or Nigerian personnel suffered casualty in the operations which targeted militant networks linked to Islamic State in West Africa.
The announcement follows months of expanding U.S.—Nigeria military cooperation.
Political Economist reports that last year, President Donald Trump repeatedly accused Nigeria of failing to protect Christians from Islamists and ordered airstrikes in targeted northern parts of the country during the Christmas period.
