UU. llega a Nigeria"},"content":{"rendered":"

Funcionarios estadounidenses confirmaron a los medios que aproximadamente 100 soldados estadounidenses llegaron a Nigeria el lunes, con la misi\u00f3n de entrenar y equipar a las fuerzas antiterroristas nigerianas en su lucha continua contra la creciente amenaza terrorista en el pa\u00eds.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Se espera que alrededor de 200 soldados sean desplegados en las pr\u00f3ximas semanas, seg\u00fan The Wall Street Journal.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Una coalici\u00f3n internacional liderada por instructores militares estadounidenses ha trabajado durante mucho tiempo para entrenar a sus hom\u00f3logos nigerianos, con un \u00e9nfasis particular en dichos programas desde el surgimiento de la militancia de Boko Haram a principios de la d\u00e9cada de 2010 y el correspondiente aumento de la violencia religiosa en las partes central y norte del pa\u00eds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

El grupo m\u00e1s reciente fue enviado a Bauchi, en el noreste del pa\u00eds, por invitaci\u00f3n del gobierno nigeriano, y se produce en medio de una creciente atenci\u00f3n internacional hacia la violencia, perpetrada en gran medida por extremistas musulmanes radicales contra comunidades cristianas vulnerables, que contin\u00faa extendi\u00e9ndose por toda Nigeria.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLa colaboraci\u00f3n\u201d, dijo un portavoz militar nigeriano sobre el despliegue de instructores militares estadounidenses de esta semana, \u201cproporcionar\u00e1 acceso a capacidades t\u00e9cnicas especializadas destinadas a fortalecer la capacidad de Nigeria para disuadir las amenazas terroristas y mejorar la protecci\u00f3n de las comunidades vulnerables en todo el pa\u00eds\u201d.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Nigeria ha enfrentado una violencia interna significativa durante a\u00f1os, principalmente a manos de grupos terroristas y pastores militantes fulani. Decenas de miles han sido asesinados o secuestrados por estos dos grupos, y cientos de miles han sido desplazados internamente.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

El m\u00e1s destacado de estos grupos militantes es Boko Haram, que fue fundado como una escuela isl\u00e1mica en 2002. A partir de ah\u00ed, Boko Haram desarroll\u00f3 r\u00e1pidamente una agenda islamista radical y, en 2009, comenz\u00f3 una campa\u00f1a de violencia que contin\u00faa hasta el d\u00eda de hoy.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Si bien el grupo se ha fragmentado y ha cambiado de l\u00edder varias veces desde su fundaci\u00f3n, hoy se hace llamar Jama\u2019tu Ahlis Sunna Lidda\u2019awati wal-Jihad, o JAS \u2014 ha mantenido sus tendencias violentas y su \u201cescala de prioridad\u201d de objetivos, con los cristianos a la cabeza, seguidos por el gobierno y los musulmanes que no se han unido al grupo.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Adem\u00e1s de los grupos terroristas organizados como Boko Haram, muchas comunidades se han radicalizado con el tiempo y ahora contribuyen colectivamente de manera significativa al n\u00famero de muertos a nivel nacional. A menudo provocados por disputas sobre recursos limitados de pastoreo o agua, tales conflictos adquieren r\u00e1pidamente un tono religioso que conduce a la violencia contra l\u00edderes religiosos, lugares de culto y comunidades enteras conocidas por su fe.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Seg\u00fan un analista de la militancia local en Nigeria, el Estado Isl\u00e1mico de la Provincia de \u00c1frica Occidental (ISWAP) est\u00e1 financiando a los militantes fulani en sus ataques contra agricultores cristianos, un conflicto en curso que el ISWAP considera \u201cotra oportunidad para atacar a los cristianos, a quienes ven como un obst\u00e1culo clave para establecer un Estado isl\u00e1mico en \u00c1frica Occidental\u201d. Esta inserci\u00f3n de financiaci\u00f3n terrorista subraya a\u00fan m\u00e1s los matices religiosos incluso de los conflictos locales. Destaca la necesidad de abordar el elemento de persecuci\u00f3n religiosa en todos los niveles de violencia en Nigeria.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mientras tanto, el gobierno \u2014bajo el presidente cristiano Goodluck Jonathan, el presidente musulm\u00e1n Muhammadu Buhari y ahora Bola Tinubu\u2014 ha fallado durante mucho tiempo en proporcionar una respuesta efectiva a la violencia o una protecci\u00f3n adecuada a las comunidades vulnerables regularmente atacadas por su religi\u00f3n, como en el sur del estado de Kaduna, donde ciertas comunidades cristianas han sido atacadas por extremistas musulmanes repetidamente a lo largo de los a\u00f1os.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
