Abuja, Nigeria — A day after part of a missile fired by the United States hit their village, landing just meters from its only medical facility, the people of Jabo in northwestern Nigeria are in a state of shock and confusion.
According to US Africa Command, the operation neutralized multiple ISIS militants. But Trump’s explanation has left Kagara and his fellow villagers scratching their heads. villagers say Jabo is not known for terrorist activity and that local Christians coexist peacefully with the Muslim majority.
Bashar Isah Jabo, a lawmaker representing Tambuwal in the state parliament, described the village to CNN as “a peaceful community” that has “no known history of ISIS, Lakurawa, or any other terrorist groups operating in the area.”
Because trump wants the news cycle to move on from the heavily redacted Epstein files in which he nevertheless appears a great deal. He’s quite happy to bomb innocent villagers to this end.
oh wow
There’s this, the Venezuelan assassinations, the whole Gaza situation, Ukraine. One good thing Trump has done is mask off the US hegemony.
There is a single rule that ALL politicians should live by. Don’t give your friend power that you would give your worst enemy. So many nations have failed or are failing this rule
US gov has just normalized killing random people. So.
What do you mean “just”?
They’re Nigerians who will even notice? /s
