Honestly, it’s been a wild ride in the world of international politics. US President Trump took to social media on May 15th to announce that American troops had joined forces with Nigerian armed forces for a joint operation.
Here’s the deal – they were on a mission to take out Abu-Bilal Muhajir, the second-in-command of the extremist group “Islamic State”. And, according to Trump, they succeeded in “clearing” him out that very night.
Trump’s tweet was brief, but it sent shockwaves around the globe. The operation was a significant blow to the extremist group, and it’s a testament to the growing cooperation between the US and Nigerian militaries.
