Nigeria has welcomed help from the United States to fight armed groups. This comes after US President Donald Trump threatened military action over claims of Christians being killed in Nigeria. Nigeria’s government said it will accept US help only if its territorial integrity is respected. President Bola Tinubu denied religious intolerance and said the government protects freedom of religion for all. The conflict mainly affects the northeast and involves armed groups attacking both Muslims and Christians. Experts say claims of a Christian genocide are false and warn that foreign invasion could worsen the situation. Nigeria hopes for better cooperation with the US to fight terrorism peacefully.
