A recent nine-minute video released by Boko Haram’s Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati Wal-Jihad (JAS) has revealed heightened clashes with their rivals, the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP).
The video, titled “Kill Them
Wherever You Find Them: A Struggle Between the Believers and the Apostates
Inside the Islamic Caliphate,” portrays fierce confrontations between the two
groups.
The violent encounters reportedly
occurred between December 23 and 24, 2024, in several locations within Abadam
Local Government Area of Borno State, including Toumbun Gini, Toumbun Sale,
Mangari, and Metele.
The footage highlights the growing intensity of the conflict between these factions, with graphic scenes of heavy fighting and significant casualties. The ongoing rivalry points to deepening divisions within the extremist landscape.
Lake Chad-based conflict analyst,
Zagazola Makama has extensively documented the clashes, emphasizing the
increasing fragmentation among terror groups in the region.
Analysts warn that this internal
conflict could exacerbate insecurity, threatening civilian lives and disrupting
humanitarian operations in affected areas.
The escalating rivalry serves as
a stark reminder of the enduring security challenges faced by Nigeria and
neighboring countries.
