*NORTHERN GROUPS SLAM US AIRSTRIKES IN SOKOTO, CALL IT ‘INSULT TO SOVEREIGNTY’*
The Coalition of Northern Groups has strongly condemned the US airstrikes against terrorists in Sokoto State, calling it an affront to Nigeria’s sovereignty. Comrade Jaliu Aliu Charanchi, the group’s Coordinator, says no self-respecting nation allows foreign powers to bomb its soil [1].
Charanchi questions the US narrative of targeting ISIS-linked groups killing Christians, pointing out that Sokoto is a predominantly Muslim area. He demands answers on the circumstances leading to the airstrikes and urges Nigerian authorities to assert their sovereignty [2].
The group sees the airstrikes as undermining Nigeria’s security efforts and warns against foreign intervention. The incident has sparked debate on national security and foreign policy, with calls for greater transparency and accountability [3].
