USA Africa Dialogue Series - 12 Motives for the Operation of Concern

12  Motives for the Operation of Concern 

1. To buttress domestic weakening opinion polls 
2. To divert attention from the Epstein Files
3. To refocus on a common theme for the Christian right wing and MAGA base - in the emerging Mamdani era
4. To gain access to Nigerian lithium , gold, uranium and rare earth and undermine growing oil sovereignty in an era of multi trillion indebtedness 
5. Temporary  substitution for Greenland, Canada, Panama - the initial targets
6. Invasion readjustment  and diversion in the light of Russian hypersonic missiles, personnel and warships off Venezuela  
7. To fragment Nigeria into several manipulable weak nation states in the light of its robust demographic profile in an era of global declining fertility 
8. To create bases on  the border with Niger  and destabilize the  Mali -Burkina Faso-Niger AES configuration 
9. To retaliate for Nigeria's refusal to host refugees and follow,obey and implement "the script"
10.  Retaliation for China -Nigeria Relations (Another proxy war in the making  with the potential for European duplicity given Franco- American opportunistic alliances)
11. In search of a win after losses in Afghanistan, Ukraine etc.
12. To exploit the weakness of a state actor that failed to engage in domestic, religious conflict resolution with the required urgency
