Miyetti Allah, the umbrella body for Fulani herders in Nigeria, has described the recent US airstrikes on suspected terrorist camps as understandable but risky. The group acknowledged the need to tackle insecurity and terrorism, while also cautioning against potential unintended consequences for local communities.

According to the organization, while targeting terrorists is necessary, there are risks of collateral damage and disruption of livelihoods. Miyetti Allah urged both the Nigerian and US authorities to ensure that military operations are precise and do not harm innocent civilians or worsen local tensions.

The group also called for stronger collaboration between government agencies and herders to maintain peace and security in affected regions. Miyetti Allah emphasized the importance of dialogue and intelligence sharing to prevent attacks and protect both communities and herders from violent incidents.

Finally, Miyetti Allah highlighted that tackling terrorism requires a balanced approach, combining military action with community engagement. The organization urged authorities to monitor the aftermath of the airstrikes closely and mitigate any negative impacts on local populations while ensuring the elimination of terrorist threats.
