A Christmas night operation, authorized directly by the former President, unfolded in northwest Nigeria. The stated target: ISIS militants accused of a brutal campaign against Christians. The announcement, delivered via a social media platform, framed the strikes as a decisive response to escalating violence.
The former President described the militants as “Terrorist Scum” and asserted the attacks were a direct consequence of previous warnings. He claimed a history of unchecked persecution, stating the killings of Christians had reached levels unseen “for many years, and even Centuries!” This rhetoric painted a picture of escalating crisis demanding immediate intervention.
Details released characterized the operation as flawlessly executed, highlighting what was described as the unique capabilities of the U.S. military. The language employed was stark, emphasizing the “powerful and deadly” nature of the strikes and the precision with which they were carried out.
The former President’s statement extended beyond a simple declaration of action. He vowed continued pressure, warning of further attacks should the violence persist. This signaled a commitment to ongoing engagement, framed as a necessary defense against “Radical Islamic Terrorism.”
The concluding remarks were particularly striking, offering a Christmas greeting that included the militants themselves, alongside a chilling prediction of future casualties. This unconventional message underscored the severity of the situation as presented, and the uncompromising stance taken.
