Trump warns of military intervention in Nigeria

US President Donald Trump has warned of military intervention in Nigeria if the country's government does not stop the killings of Christians by Islamic terrorists.

On his TruthSocial platform, Trump declared that the US could cut off aid and, in the event of inaction, send in armed forces to destroy terrorist groups. He also ordered the Department of Defense to prepare for possible action, warning that the Nigerian government must act quickly.

Earlier, the US had added Nigeria to a list of "countries of particular concern" on religious freedom issues, saying Christianity faces an existential threat. Nigerian President Bola Tinubu has objected to this and is expected to meet with Trump to discuss the situation.

The US decision came after months of lobbying by conservative lawmakers who describe the situation of Christians in Nigeria as a “genocide.” These accusations are also supported by right-wing European organizations and politicians.

Clashes between Christians and Muslims

In the northeast, mainly from Boko Haram and its affiliate, ISWAP, over 40,000 people have lost their lives since 2009 and over 2 million residents have fled their areas.

In the center of the country, clashes between mainly Christian farmers and Muslim herders over land cause repeated episodes of violence. In the northwest, criminal gangs terrorize local communities by attacking, killing and kidnapping people for ransom, burning and looting villages.

Recently, the jihadist group JNIM carried out its first attack in Nigeria, killing a soldier in northern Kwara state, near the border with Benin.

The attack highlights the growing Islamist threat in the country and the weakness of national security, as President Tinubu recently replaced top military leaders. According to Trump's Africa adviser, Massad Boulos, who has lived in Nigeria for decades, jihadists in the north of the country often target Muslims they do not consider devout.

The complex situation in Nigeria, the division between the Muslim north and the predominantly Christian south, clashes over land and the growing threat from jihadist groups, has alarmed the international community and made the issue of the security of the Christian community a priority for the US administration.
