(cont'd from yesterday's post)
It seems the U.S. president's message of last November (yesterday's post) had an impact. Nigeria formally requested the help of the U.S. military to curtail the deadly attacks of militant Islamist groups like Boko Haram and Islamic State in West Africa Province.
An airstrike was carried out in December by US forces against two camps of Islamic militant groups in northern Nigeria--with the approval of President Tinubu.
About 100 US troops as well as military equipment arrived last Monday (photo) to help train Nigerian forces to "enhance the protection of vulnerable communities."
"Nigeria's government has expressed its thanks for US aid in tackling security issues . . ."
It's a start.
