US President Donald J. Trump on his usual way of broadcast, tweeted that at his direction as Commander in Chief lunched a powerful and deadly airstrike against ISIS terrorist in Northwest Nigeria sending them unexpected Christmas gift on a Christmas day 25th December, 2025. The terrorists have for long viciously attacked innocent civilians and carried out Christian genocide. Earlier, about a month ago President Trump had warned against their violence and killing of innocent Christian. He then declared Nigeria as a state of particular concern.
Following the airstrikes, armed bandits in Zamfara State have appeared in a viral video, appealing to the state government and the Nigerian Air Force for dialogue as intensified airstrikes continue to hit their hideouts.
On the other hand, Sheikh Gumi, a controversial Islamic cleric, warns that airstrikes will tear the country apart and ask the Federal Government to halt military collaboration and cooperation with US, and instead seek help from China, Turkey, and Pakistan.
This event is making news not just in Nigeria but around the globe, and then attracts different reactions from different quarters. While terrorists supporters and sympathizers bold enough to make public statements faults the new approach and strategy in dealing with the terrorists, others hail US President, US Army, and Nigeria Government on the collaboration and coordinates.
On another news, Netanyahu the Israeli Prime Minister blamed Islamists for the attacks in Nigeria, saying Israel would always stand with Christians around the world.
