The United States is set to deploy 200 troops to Nigeria to assist in the fight against Boko Haram and the Islamic State. A U.S. Africa Command official said on Tuesday that the soldiers will train Nigerian forces and provide technical guidance. According to The Wall Street Journal, the new team will complement a smaller group already stationed in the country and is expected to arrive within the next few weeks. A spokesperson for U.S. Africa Command told AFP that the mission will focus on training and coordination support for air and ground operations.
Nigerian Defense Headquarters spokesperson Samaila Uba stated that the U.S. troops will not take part in direct combat or operations. The deployment comes as Nigeria faces diplomatic pressure from the United States over security concerns. U.S. President Donald Trump has accused Nigeria of persecuting Christians, though reports indicate that both Christians and Muslims have been victims of violence. Trump’s senior adviser on Arab and African affairs, Masad Bolos, previously said Boko Haram and the Islamic State have killed more Muslims than Christians. Nigeria’s government has rejected allegations of Christian persecution.
