U.S. Air Force Shows Strong Commitment to End Boko Haram
The U.S. Air Force has shown their strong commitment to target terrorist groups in Africa, especially Boko Haram.
This was disclosed in a statement by General James Hecker, the commander of the U.S. Air Forces, Europe, and Africa (USAFE-AFAFRICA). He said that the U.S. Air Force will target Boko Haram and other terrorist groups in Africa.

This follows the first airstrike order by President Donald Trump to bomb ISIS and other terrorist groups in Somalia.
Pete Hegseth, the US Secretary of Defense, shared more details about the airstrikes targeting the terrorist groups in Somalia.

Hecker, while speaking during the digital news conference at the 2025 African Air Chiefs’ Symposium (AACS), on Wednesday, said that terrorist groups such as ISIS, Boko Haram, and others that threaten the African continent and the American people have become high-value targets for the United States to carry out coordinated airstrikes against them.
He said the same fate will meet them as the terrorists in Somalia met recently from the hands of the U.S. Air Force.
“They are significant high-value targets that threaten African nations and threaten the United States. “So we will continue to go after terrorist organisations that threaten our African partners as well as the United States.
“Well, I think, as you know, the U.S. government has provided training and equipment to Nigeria for quite a while, so hopefully that will help them out.

“But what we’re looking at in this conference is not that. We’re not talking about air superiority or conflict.
“We’re talking about how we can help each other—African nations can help one another—and that’s what the goal of this conference is.”
Although this vow by the U.S. Air Force comes as a surprise, just recently, a serving U.S. Congressman claimed that USAID is behind the funding to terrorist groups in Nigeria, which amounts to $697 million.
