DAKAR, Feb 16 (Reuters) - About 100 U.S. military personnel have arrived in Nigeria as Washington scales up an operation to target Islamist insurgents, a Nigerian defence spokesperson said.
U.S. President Donald Trump has accused Nigeria of failing to protect Christians from Islamist militants in the northwest.
 
Nigeria denies discriminating against any religion, saying its security forces target armed groups that attack both Christians and Muslims.

Who keeps giving these nomadic goat headers money and weapons to threaten Western civilization?  Saudis?  Emiraties?
