In a message published on Truth Social, US President Donald Trump announced a vast military action against Isis members in the northwest of Nigeria, defining terrorists as a “feel” and firmly condemning their atrocities against civilians, especially innocent Christians.
An intervention decided under his guide
“Stasera, under my leadership as Commander-in-Chief — Trump wrote — the United States launched a powerful and lethal attack against the Isis terrorist scum in the north-west of Nigeria, which targeted and brutally killed, mainly innocent Christians, at levels never seen for many years, and even centuries.” His words reflect the firm will to counter radical terrorism, claiming that the United States will no longer tolerate violence and massacres of civilians.
The tycoon also recalled admonishing the terrorists earlier: “I had already warned these terrorists that if they had not stopped the massacre of Christians they would pay for hell, and tonight it happened. The War Department has performed many perfect attacks, as only the United States can do. ”
International response and collaboration with Nigeria
Nigeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that the Nigerian authorities actively cooperate with international allies, including the United States, in the fight against terrorism. In an official note, it underlines: “The Nigerian authorities continue to collaborate in a structured manner with international partners, including the United States, in the fight against the persistent threat of terrorism and violent extremism. ”
Cooperation includes targeted air raids and the exchange of strategic information, in compliance with international norms and the sovereignty of the African country. “This collaboration is essential to strengthen regional and global security,” reads in the statement.
A message of firmness and determination
The US intervention in Nigeria is part of a growing international focus on the threat posed by terrorist groups in West Africa, where Isis and other extremist groups continue to perform bloody attacks against civilians and religious communities and especially against Christians.
Trump, who has often made the fight against terrorism one of the pillars of his foreign policy, concluded his message by wishing “Good Christmas to all, including dead terrorists, who will be many more if their massacre of Christians will continue”.
While the Nigerian and international authorities continue their counter-actions, Trump’s attack is a clear signal of how the United States intends to maintain high attention on the threat of radical Islamic terrorism in Nigeria and the African continent in general. This could mark a decisive step forward in the fight against terrorism in Africa.
