Video shows JIBWIS members threatening Christians in Nigeria

A video circulating on social media shows people reportedly belonging to JIBWIS’s Agaji volunteer wing, also known as Izala, chanting lyrics that call for attacks in Enugu and Jos. One man refers to obtaining an AK-47 and opening fire on people described as “infidels” while they worship on Sunday in Enugu, then calls for killing more people in Jos. The singer describes the acts as “the training.” The recording’s date and location have not been verified, and the footage has raised concerns about possible attacks on Christians in Nigeria.

UN: US Encourages Viktor Orban to Run to Succeed António Guterres

The Wall Street Journal reports that Donald Trump’s administration has encouraged Viktor Orban to seek the UN secretary-general post and discussed the idea with Russia and China, which are said to support a joint candidacy. A US official says Orban has eight supporters on the 15-member Security Council; nine votes, with no veto from a permanent member, are needed to recommend a candidate to the General Assembly. Orban has reportedly responded positively but would run only if victory were assured. He is not among the declared candidates and lost Hungary’s legislative election six months earlier after 16 years in power.

Counterterrorism: Africa must lead in shaping and implementing solutions, Ribadu says

Nigeria’s National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, urged Africa to define and implement its own responses to terrorism. Speaking at the High Level African Lessons Learned Forum on Counter-Terrorism Cooperation, Intelligence Sharing and Emerging Technologies, he called for timely, trusted intelligence exchanges that respect national sovereignty and legal frameworks. Ribadu said terrorist groups exploit porous borders, local grievances, illicit financial networks and digital platforms, while emerging technologies bring both risks and opportunities for security. He called for stronger partnerships among states, regional bodies, security agencies, communities, the private sector and technology actors.

Algeria to send troops to Niger in first foreign deployment since 1973

Algeria plans to send troops to Niger, its first overseas military deployment since sending forces to Egypt in 1973. Both chambers of Algeria’s parliament approved the mission, which is expected to protect energy infrastructure in northern Niger as Niamey seeks support against armed groups linked in part to al-Qaeda and Islamic State. The number of troops and deployment date have not been announced; Algiers says the mission is to secure economic infrastructure, including facilities connected to a planned gas pipeline and Sonatrach oil exploration. The decision follows a thaw in relations after a 2025 diplomatic rift and comes after Algeria provided military assistance to Niger in 2026.
