The United States has eliminated Abu Bilal al-Minawi, a senior commander of the terrorist organization ISIS, in Nigeria, the US president announced.
According to the American leader, the commander "will no longer be able to terrorize the population of Africa or participate in planning operations against Americans." The operation was carried out jointly with US partners.
The elimination of the senior ISIS figure is part of Washington's broader campaign against extremism in the region.
The United States eliminated Abu Bilal al-Minuqi, one of the senior commanders of IS in Nigeria, in a joint operation. He led the West African branch of the organization, which has been actively operating in the Lake Chad region and Sahel countries.
A strike against IS hierarchy in Nigeria may temporarily weaken the coordination of terrorist attacks in the region, but will not eliminate the threat — the organization will continue to operate through its remaining commanders. For investors in African projects and companies with assets in Sahel countries, the risk of instability and restrictions on business activity due to terrorist threats remains relevant.
