The Islamic State’s West Africa branch has claimed responsibility for the cold-blooded execution of 11 Christians and the burning of a church in the village of Mondag, Adamawa, in direct retaliation for U.S. missile strikes launched by Donald Trump on December 25.
The terrorists stormed the Christian village just two days after U.S. forces, with Nigeria’s cooperation, pounded jihadist camps with cruise missiles**, inflicting heavy losses on IS positions in Sokoto. What followed was textbook Islamist vengeance: when they’re hit militarily, they murder civilians, especially Christians.
In Mondag, ISWAP gunmen opened fire with automatic weapons, burned a church to the ground, and burnt homes, forcing survivors to flee into the bush. The massacre, confirmed by multiple Nigerian security outlets, was proudly claimed by jihadist propaganda channels as a message of defiance to the USA.
This is a religious war, and Christians are being hunted.
Nigeria has become ground zero in what many now call a genocide in slow motion: thousands of Christians murdered in a decade while the world looks away. The latest bloodshed in Adamawa is just one more reminder, that radical Islamists don’t negotiate, they exterminate. And when the West strikes back, innocent believers pay the price.”
