The U.S. strike in Nigeria is a reminder that military action is only part of the story.
How leaders explain what happened shapes how we understand harm, protection, and whose lives are centered when violence is discussed.
Our prayers and attention are with the people and families who continue to face loss, displacement, and fear as extremist violence disrupts daily life.
As this moment enters a U.S. election year, foreign policy, religion, and national identity are already shaping how the public interprets events far beyond our borders.
Context matters so we do not accept headlines without understanding what led to them and who is living with the consequences.
