Nigeria Army Chief Vows to Crush Insurgents Amid US Pressure

Nigeria's top army general has promised to fight harder against a long-standing rebel group.

This comes after the U.S. President called Nigeria a place where religious freedom is not respected and warned he might take military action.

The army chief visited a part of the country where fighting has been happening for many years.

He told the soldiers to work even harder to stop the rebels, Boko Haram and ISWAP.

The army chief also promised to give the soldiers better equipment and support.

The Nigerian President had also told the army to try harder to stop terrorism.

Even though the army has had some successes, the rebels have recently attacked both soldiers and regular people.

This new push is meant to finally end the fighting.
