ISWAP has responded to Trump’s threat of military action in Nigeria, calling him a “reckless American tyrant” influenced by evangelical Christian and Jewish advisers.
The group accuses the US of trying to be a “global defender of Christians” and warns that Trump’s rhetoric could lead to more conflicts in Africa, including the Democratic Republic of Congo and Mozambique.
Meanwhile, the rogue movement has instructed its fighters to avoid public gatherings, limit movement, and reduce smartphone use due to fears of US surveillance and drone operations.
The group urges Muslims in West Africa to unite and take the US threat seriously, accusing Western nations of crimes against African Muslims.
The situation highlights the complex dynamics of terrorism and international relations in the region, with ISWAP seeking to exploit tensions and stretch US military resources.
