Donald Trump has threatened military action in Nigeria, citing the protection of Christians, but the real story, as Nigerian journalist David Hundeyin explains, is money, power and geopolitics. Hundeyin breaks down how U.S. intervention is tied to Nigeria’s vast resource wealth and longstanding geopolitical strategies, contrasting it with China’s approach of infrastructure investment and non-interference. Hundeyin provides essential context on Nigeria’s security situation, the role of Boko Haram, and why “the long-term economic development of Nigeria is considered to be a threat to US national security interests.” #breakthroughnews
