The US fired Tomahawk missiles into Nigeria’s Sokoto State late last week, claiming to target members of ISIS targeting Christians in the country, but the region hit by the strikes — and facing the brunt of ISIS attacks — is majority Muslim. Also, the world’s first carbon tariff is set to take effect in Europe at the start of 2026.
