  "account": "The United States has expressed concern over civilian deaths from terrorism and identified funding gaps during a recent meeting in Washington with Nigeria, as Nigeria seeks to be removed from the US Country of Particular Concern list. Despite Nigeria's reported efforts in prosecuting terror suspects, expanding its police force, and returning internally displaced persons, the US highlights ongoing challenges in the fight against terrorism. The meeting, part of the US-Nigeria Joint Working Group, reviewed progress on counterterrorism, IDP resettlement, and other security-related issues. However, the US also noted the lack of transparency in humanitarian spending and the need for improved collaboration in these areas.",
