Translated Text: Benin 🇧🇯 | The JNIM claims to have taken two military camps near the Burkina Faso border on the evening of March 7. 🔸 This would be the second cross-border incursion in four days from Burkina Faso, following the Kofouno attack (W National Park) on March 4, claimed by the JNIM, where it claims to have killed 6 Beninese soldiers. ℹ️ These attacks come shortly after operations by the Beninese Armed Forces (FAB) aimed at hindering the movements of armed groups in the western part of W National Park, by destroying their crossing points in the area. (📷 below) ⚠️ The JNIM appears to be seeking to make an impact through targeted incursions. This operational mode, based on rapid raids from border areas, could be aimed at responding to the growing pressure exerted by the FAB in the major northern parks of the country. The terrorist threat from the Sahel is taken seriously by Benin, and its communications regarding Operation "Mirador" highlight the results achieved, illustrating its involvement in the fight against terrorism and the protection of its territory. |
