BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Factual Western framing: both outlets rely exclusively on statements from Trump and Reuters/AFP agencies, with no independent Nigerian sources or cross-checks with local experts.

Preference for bilateral cooperation: coverage highlights the US-Nigeria partnership as an effective model, leaving limited space for analysis of root causes driving ISIS expansion in the Sahel.

Low coverage of civilian impact: no articles mention the humanitarian consequences of military operations in the affected northwestern Nigerian zones.
