The US has deployed a military team to Nigeria to assist in counter-terrorism operations against Islamic State-linked terrorists. This move marks the first publicly acknowledged presence of American forces on the ground in Nigeria since US airstrikes on Christmas Day, which targeted ISIS militants in Sokoto state, killing multiple terrorists.
The deployment is part of a growing effort to assist Nigerian forces in combating insurgent groups, including Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP).
