| 2025-11-10 |
Text: Fighting has intensified between militants of Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM) and the Islamic State Sahel Province (IS Sahel) in parts of the Liptako Gourma area, security sources said on Sunday. The clashes, which occurred over the past two days in the Oudalan province of northern Burkina Faso, resulted in multiple casualties on both sides. Local sources said the rival groups engaged in at least three separate confrontations between Friday and Saturday. The clashes come amid parallel hostilities between Boko Haram and the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) in the Lake Chad Basin, highlighting a broader pattern of infighting among jihadist factions operating across West Africa. |
