AFRICOM continued to provide civilian casualty assessments in its strike announcements throughout 2025.

Question

Accepted Answer

False. AFRICOM stopped providing civilian casualty assessments in its strike announcements in 2025. In May 2025, AFRICOM spokesman Lt. Col. Doug Halleaux stated that "As the new administration settles in, we're refraining from reporting estimated battle damage assessments and providing initial assessments on civilian harm probability as a matter of course." AFRICOM indicated they were "expecting policy to follow guiding how and when these assessments are released, but until then, our shorter press releases post-strike will be the norm." This represents a significant reduction in transparency from earlier practices. AFRICOM declined to comment on the civilian deaths reported in Jaamame.
