Nigerian FM Yusuf Tuggar told Al Jazeera that Abuja has worked with the US in the past, but what has become an “impediment” and led to a “spike in terrorist activity” were the Leahy Laws. The law prohibits military assistance to countries where there is credible information of gross violations of human rights. But, Tuggar said that his country was “happy to see” that a review was taking place into the sale of military equipment to Nigeria. On Trump’s social media post framing the strike as a protection of Christians, Tuggar says they’re not going to “pore over the forensic details of what was said”.
