U.S.-Nigerian Strikes Killed Dozens of Civilians, Villagers Say

AFRICOM and the Nigerian army claimed they killed 175 “terrorists” over the course of three days in May.

On the evening of May 16, the village of Metele in Nigeria’s Borno state was hit by a series of airstrikes carried out in coordination between the U.S. and Nigerian militaries.

“Children were playing, women were preparing meals, and there was nothing to suggest that anything unusual was about to happen,” recalled Goni Ahmed, a local resident who directly witnessed the strikes. He described a scene in which village life was suddenly destroyed by the attack. “First, we heard aircraft overhead. Shortly afterward, there were loud explosions that shook the ground. After the blasts, I could hear people shouting, crying, and calling for assistance. The sounds of panic and confusion continued for quite some time.
”
Panic enveloped Metele and villagers fled their homes, not knowing if further strikes would take place. “Many people in the community still remember those days as some of the most difficult we have experienced,” Ahmed recalled.

Ali Zagina lost four relatives in the strike, and his house was destroyed. “We are in great pain, a pain I believe we will never forget,” Zagina said. “As a resident of Metele this is one of the saddest days of my life.” Zagina, his wife and his four children are now renting a home in the Gomari neighborhood of Maiduguri. “I could not recognize my house or many parts of the community because almost the entire area had been reduced to ashes,” he told Drop Site News.

The strikes were part of an expanding war between the Nigerian government and local Islamist groups which has drawn the increased involvement of the Trump administration, with little scrutiny. Metele, a remote community in northern Borno State near the Nigeria-Niger border, has long been affected by insurgent activities. Security sources and local residents have frequently identified the area and its surroundings as locations where fighters affiliated with the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) operate.

⭕️ Maersk reportedly still shipping weapons parts to Israel despite denials

A new report by the Palestinian Youth Movement and Oxfam Denmark published on 8 June indicates that shipping giant Maersk continued transporting weapons components to Israel throughout the Gaza genocide, despite the company's repeated denial.

The investigation says Maersk vessels carried rifle and pistol parts, bomb casings, mortar-system components, and materials used in explosives from US and Indian suppliers to Israeli arms manufacturers, including Elbit Systems and IMI Systems.

Researchers cited shipping records and bills of lading to document the deliveries.

Maersk rejected the allegations, saying it has maintained a strict policy against transporting weapons or ammunition to Israel and that its military-cargo screening procedures comply with US, EU, Danish, and UN regulations.

Campaigners behind the report argue that shipping key weapons components makes Maersk complicit in Israel's military campaign in Gaza. They are calling for the company to halt all military-related shipments to Israel and face growing public pressure over its role in global arms supply chains.

Eight years before he was imprisoned for over half a decade on trumped up charges, Julian Assange exposed the mainstream media's role in perpetuating war.

"Nearly every war that has started in the past 50 years has been a result of media lies."

"Populations don't like wars... Populations have to be fooled into wars."

"The media in general are so bad, we have to question whether the world wouldn't be better off without them altogether."

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️- BREAKING: Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya has announced the full closure of the Strait of Hormuz. No vessels, commercial or otherwise, will be allowed to pass through.

Anyways, this basically means even Chinese, Russian and Pakistani ships will no longer be allowed to cross.

Unfortunate for them, but it’s been decided by Iran that the price of oil must skyrocket.

Iran should officially announce the end of the ceasefire. Enough is enough.

There is no evidence to support this.

@Middle_East_Spectator

Something really weird has been ongoing since yesterday.

Issuing statements about events that verifiably did not happen.

I have a suspicion that maybe someone is accidentally releasing the statements before the actual attacks take place.
