United States Congressman Riley Moore has confirmed that additional US military airstrikes are planned in Nigeria.
In a post on his 𝕏 account, Moore emphasized that President Donald Trump’s goal is not to destabilize Nigeria but to counter terrorism and protect persecuted Christians.
Moore highlighted the US strikes conducted on Christmas Day in coordination with Nigerian authorities, saying they brought renewed hope to local communities.
“President Trump is not trying to bring war to Nigeria. He is bringing peace and security to Nigeria and to thousands of Christians who face horrific violence and death,” Moore wrote. “The strikes against ISIS on Christmas, in coordination with the Nigerian government, have given hope to Christians in Nigeria.”
During an interview on Fox News’ Mornings with Maria, Moore painted a grim picture of ongoing violence in the country, claiming that attacks on Christians have continued for over a decade. He estimated that tens of thousands of Christians have been killed since 2009, with thousands reportedly dying just this year.
“The scale of suffering is far worse than many realize. I’ve seen this in person—meeting mothers who lost all their children, murdered right before them,” Moore said.
