.hrw's aniewang argues the Pentagon's failure to answer Democratic lawmakers' questions about the U.S. role in a deadly Nigerian airstrike 'does not bode well for the U.S. government's expressed commitment to transparency and accountability.'
that the U.S. military provided Nigerian forces with intelligence support ahead of a January 17, 2017 airstrike on a refugee camp in Rann, Borno state, in the country's northeastern corner.
The lawmakers asked what was the nature of U.S. involvement in the strike, whether the military provided intelligence or other support to its Nigerian partner, and other questions, asking Pentagon officials to reply"no later than 90 days" after they received the letter. That deadline was nearly two weeks ago.
