South African (SA) political party, Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) has condemned United States (US) airstrikes carried out in northwest Nigeria, describing the attacks as a violation of African sovereignty.
The party says the strikes, conducted on Christmas Day and framed by Washington as “counter-terrorism operations”, amount to what it calls “American military imperialism on the continent”.
The EFF has criticised the Nigerian government’s response, accusing it of endorsing foreign military action instead of defending national sovereignty.
It has warned that Africa risks becoming a battleground for global powers unless regional bodies intervene.
