Following the Christmas Day U.S. airstrike on a jihadist target in northern Nigeria, the U.S. has deployed 100 troops, more so advisors, to train local counterterrorism forces in Nigeria.

This is important for several reasons. Nigeria is Africa’s most populous country and a dominant power in West Africa. Russian influence has stretched across Africa and into Nigeria, so U.S. involvement could help counteract that. And this marks a significant shift for the Trump administration, as the U.S. will get firsthand insight into Nigeria rather than relying upon speculation.

We’ll see what Washington does with the information gleaned from the boots on the ground, but U.S. policy in West Africa could be reshaped in the coming months.
