Trump announced a US-Nigerian operation that killed ISIS's number-two leader, framed as a win against Christian persecution in Africa.

• The target was Abu Bilal al-Minuki, called ISIS's global second-in-command, accused of burning churches and killing Christian families in Nigeria.
• US intelligence tracked him and worked with Nigerian forces on the strike.
• The killing is presented as proof that "you can run but you can't hide," with calls for more surgical strikes on terror leaders.
• ISIS, Boko Haram, al-Shabaab, and the Taliban are named as the top killers of Christians, mostly in African countries.
• Major networks like CNN gave the story little coverage, which frustrated the hosts.

Outlook: Expect more US targeted strikes on terror leaders in Africa as the focus shifts to protecting Christian communities there.
