U.S. airstrikes in Nigeria’s northwest on Christmas Day targeted militants, with Nigeria confirming coordination and authorization.
The United States.
On Christmas Day, airstrikes were conducted in Nigeria's northwestern region, targeting Islamist militants, with Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar confirming the operation was authorized by President Bola Tinubu and carried out in coordination with Nigerian intelligence.
Tuggar stated that the strikes were a collaborative effort to combat terrorism, not religion-based, and emphasized Nigeria's sovereignty and control over security decisions.
However, Auwal Rafsanjani of CISLAC refuted this, claiming that the U.S. acted without prior consultation, using Trump's public announcement as evidence.
Rafsanjani criticized Nigeria's foreign policy and governance, citing sovereignty concerns and systemic failures.
The legality of the strikes under international law is still debated, depending on unconfirmed information about intelligence, targeting, and civilian impact.
