BREAKING: Secretary of War Hegseth reveals President Trump ordered the Pentagon to prioritize protecting Nigerian Christians targeted by ISIS — and says the mission quietly led to the killing of ISIS’ second-in-command in Nigeria.
Hegseth says U.S. intelligence gathered during the operation helped lead to the deaths of “hundreds” of ISIS fighters tied to attacks on Christians and threats against the U.S. homeland.
"There's a lot of things we do that the media pays attention to, and a lot of things that the president empowers the Department to do on behalf of the American people, that he deserves great credit for."

Thirty days after the historic visit of Pope Leo XIV to the embattled city of Bamenda, where he released several doves as a sign of peace, many Cameroonians say the messages of peace, justice and reconciliation delivered by the Supreme Pontiff are yet to translate into concrete change on the ground.
During his apostolic visit themed, “May They All Be One,” the Pope traveled through Bamenda, Douala and Yaounde, addressing thousands of faithful and public officials at a time when Cameroon continued to grapple with a prolonged armed conflict in the North West and South West regions.
In Bamenda, one of the epicenters of the Anglophone Crisis, Pope Leo XIV centered his message on peace and reconciliation, with the theme, “My peace I give you, my peace I leave you.”
The message was widely interpreted as a direct appeal to both the government and separatist fighters to end years of violence that have left thousands dead, displaced many more and crippled daily life most parts of the two English-speaking regions.
However, one month later, the reality on the ground appears largely unchanged.
Fresh incidents of violence, including the deadly Ndzere Nyam incident, which remains vivid in public memory, continue to fuel fear and uncertainty among civilians.
Sporadic gun battles, kidnappings, lockdowns and attacks have persisted despite renewed calls for dialogue following the papal visit.

@MimiMefoInfo Who ever taught these camerounese that the best way to sustain or aleviate poverty is through donating foid items. Salt and rice and sardin politics is a canerounization approach
On May 10, 2026, Bamenda Mezam State Northern Ambazonia Cameroon occupation forces abducted and detained Mbonglin Ismail Ndzechama, arrested July 2025, subjected him to torture and beatings, and held him until his death in prison, raising serious human rights concerns.
📷 OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE | AMBAZONIA GOVERNING COUNCIL 📷
The Office of the Vice President has issued an important press release regarding the Colonial 20th May and the declaration of a 3-day National Lockdown across Ambazonia from Monday 18th to Wednesday 20th May 2026.
Breaking News:
At the France–Kenya summit currently taking place in Nairobi, Kenya, French President Emmanuel Macron spoke about Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger. He referred to the revolutionary leaders of the AES countries as military leaders, a statement many see as a sign that France is unhappy with the direction these nations have taken to free the countries from neocolonialism and imperialism interest. The AES countries expelled French troops, citing concerns over neocolonialism and imperialist interests in their affairs @CapitaineIb226
Your take:
Do you think the kicking out of France from Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger was a mistake due to Macron regretting? 👇👇
#Ambazonia:
Ndangoh Patrick has reportedly died in Kondengui Prison in Yaoundé, where he had been detained since 2017 by Cameroun @ilariallegro@UNHumanRights why ignore #Biya crimes in Cameroun and focus on unfounded allegations against @CapitaineIb226 the revolutionary leader of Africa? #Biya is a #poppet and we know why his crimes are ignored. His death is painful. A brother has been lost. A family is grieving. People are reminded again of the human cost of this unresolved Southern Cameroons question.
But let this also teach us something.
People cannot build their future by shouting, “We will fight to the last man standing.” If all we prepare for is death, then death is what awaits us. A nation is built by people whose minds are set on life, structure, discipline, diplomacy, and the future.
Southern Cameroons must learn from this pain.
Our case is not terrorism. It is not mere insecurity. It is incomplete decolonization.
The question remains:
**What legal instrument gave legitimacy to the relationship between Southern Cameroons and La République du Cameroun?**
Cameroon chose diplomacy in Bakassi because war would have cost too much. We too must choose strategic nonviolence, legal clarity, and disciplined organizations.
May Ndangoh Patrick’s soul rest in perfect peace.
Forward ever, backward never.
We pray like everything depends on God, but we work hard like everything depends on us.
