The Save Nigeria Group (SNG) USA has commended President Donald J. Trump for ordering military airstrikes against ISIS enclaves in Northwest Nigeria on Christmas Day, aimed at halting the ongoing violence against Christians and other vulnerable communities.
In a statement signed by Stephen Osemwegie​​​​​​ President and Founder​​​​​
Save Nigeria Group USA and Victor Onyeka BenDirector of Media Save Nigeria Group USA.
SNG USA praised President Trump’s decisive action as a “bold, moral, and life-saving intervention” that sends a clear message to radical Islamic terrorists that the era of impunity is over. The group also acknowledged the Nigerian government’s cooperation with the US in addressing terrorism.
The airstrikes were carried out in Sokoto State, targeting ISIS militants responsible for killing Christians and other civilians. President Trump had previously warned of potential military action in Nigeria if the violence against Christians didn’t stop.
SNG USA has formally nominated President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, recognizing his leadership and commitment to peace through strength. However, some analysts argue that the violence in Nigeria is more complex, involving multiple groups and motivations, and that airstrikes alone may not solve the problem.
The group is calling for sustained efforts to degrade and dismantle radical Islamist terror networks in Nigeria, focusing on the Fulani Islamist militia, and ensuring long-term protection for civilian communities.
SNG said “The decisive action did not come in a vacuum. Save Nigeria Group USA led a major rally in Washington, D.C., appealing directly to President Trump and the U.S. Congress to act urgently to stop the slaughter of innocent Nigerians—particularly Christians in the Middle Belt and Northern regions—who have endured years of unchecked terror. The voices of survivors, widows, orphans, and displaced families were heard. And President Trump acted”.
“While we applaud this critical first step, the work is not yet done. Nigeria remains plagued by over 20 separate radical Islamic terrorist groups, including ISIS affiliates, Boko Haram factions, and—most devastatingly—the notorious Fulani Islamist militia, which remains the primary perpetrator of the Christian genocide in the Middle Belt regions of Benue, Plateau, Kaduna, Kwara, and Kogi States”.
Save Nigeria Group USA also commends the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for working closely with the United States Government to confront terrorism and restore security in Nigeria. International cooperation is essential, and we encourage continued transparency, resolve, and accountability in this joint effort to end terror.
The group also further thank Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State for granting a full pardon to Sunday Jackson, a step that reflects compassion, justice, and respect for human dignity in the face of prolonged injustice.
