Did Trump Use Nigerian Christians as Cover for US Oil Leverage in Africa? | Firstpost Africa | N18G
Watch this video as Firstpost examines the growing U.S. security footprint in Nigeria and asks whether Donald Trump's campaign over Christian persecution is becoming connected to a much larger strategic interest: oil. American-made Aerosonde drones supplied by Textron Systems are now being deployed by Nigerian security company Tantita to monitor pipelines and offshore energy assets in the Niger Delta. The development comes as Nigeria's crude production reaches its highest level in six years. For years, U.S. military cooperation with Nigeria focused largely on fighting Boko Haram and Islamic State militants. But Washington's pressure over religious freedom, counterterrorism operations, military training and new surveillance technology is now intersecting with Nigeria's critical energy infrastructure. Does this prove that oil was behind America's religious freedom campaign? No. But the growing overlap raises a bigger geopolitical question about Washington's interests in Africa's largest oil producer.
