US Military Team Deployed to Nigeria After Recent Attacks
The deployment follows U.S. airstrikes and aims to enhance Nigeria's counterterrorism with unique U.S. capabilities, reflecting increased military cooperation, General Anderson said.
- On Tuesday, U.S. Africa Command announced it dispatched a small team of U.S. military officers to Nigeria, General Dagvin R.M. Anderson said.
- Long-Running fighting with armed groups has prompted increased U.S.-Nigeria cooperation after a meeting in Rome late last year, Anderson said.
- The U.S. has supplied Nigeria with military equipment and conducted reconnaissance missions to support counterinsurgency efforts.
- Diplomatic tensions have included threats by President Donald Trump and the U.S. designating Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern, which the Nigerian government firmly rejected.
- It is unclear when the team arrived in Nigeria, and the terms of the U.S.-Nigeria cooperation remain unclear, despite last month’s attack in Kaduna state.
