Earlier, President Trump mentioned the persecution of Christians in Nigeria and warned that he would be ready for a gunfight.
According to foreign media such as the Daily Mail and the Associated Press, President Trump recently posted on social media that `The Nigerian government is neglecting the massacre of Christians"The United States will immediately stop all aid and consider military intervention if necessary." He also instructed the U.S. Department of Defense to prepare for military operations"When the attack begins, it will be fast, brutal..." he added.
In response, Bamshak Daniel, a Christian community leader in Mangu, central Nigeria's Plateau region, told the Wall Street Journal that `We regard President Trump as the `second god'.`His military intervention is the supernatural intervention that we have been praying for.'
The Nigerian government is embarrassed by President Trump's hard-line stance.
President Bola Tinubu said, `President Trump's remarks are a serious distortion of the reality of Nigeria.' `Our government is responding to all violence, regardless of tribe or religion" he said. President Tinubu is a Muslim, but his wife is a leading Pentecostal Christian pastor in Nigeria.
Earlier, thousands of people in Nigeria were killed in terrorist attacks by the Islamic extremist militant group Boko Haram and the IS West African Branch (ISWAP) in the north. These groups target not only Christians but also Muslims who do not comply with their Islamic interpretation. In addition, conflicts between land and water are frequently occurring in the central region, mainly between Muslim herders and Christian farmers.
However, experts believe that the U.S. military's intervention is unlikely.
A military expert said `U.S. military intervention in intelligence-deficient areas is ineffective' and that `local sovereignty should be respected.'" he said. Nigeria's presidential office also said `U.S. support is welcome, but territorial integrity must be premised," he stressed.
