Most alarming report on Somalia Unless a new government of national unity or provisional authority holds genuine promise of better days to come, then Somalia’s future will be as dark as as-Shabaab’s black banner. africacenter.org/publication/...

At the same time, Islamic State notices that the killings of Christians in Nigeria at their hands is still lower than what Christians suffer at the hands of ISCAP and IS Mozambique,and if the Americans now follow the Crusader logic, it's inevitable to clash in Congo and Moz too.

IS carefuly analyses the crisis, assuming the role of the main threat Trump and evangelicals in MAGA constantly ramble about. The org clearly wants to make it the way the Americans want - to simplify the conflict in Nigeria to maximum and cause quagmire.

The Islamic State immediately reacts to the threat Trump issued against Nigeria as was bound to happen in such circumstances. The Central organisation warns its African afiliates to take Trump seriously given how volatile and chaotic the US admins actions are. #Nigeria

Donald Trump says Islamist militants in #Nigeria are killing Christians & calls for US military action. Since insurgency escalated 16 years ago, about 52,000 civilians have been killed across all faiths and causes —challenging claims of “100,000 Christian deaths.” 🎥Watch: youtube.com/shorts/DnSNe...

Trump talking about genocide in Nigeria is the biggest nonsense I heard today, and it's coming from me who has been covering jihadists killing Christians quite a bit.The conflict there is simply too complex, with Muslims being pray of other Muslims, bandits, separatists, mafias.
