JNIM condemns the Nigerien Air Force drone strikes on the Kokoloko market yesterday, which killed 12 civilians and injured several, it has become almost a habit for the Nigerian army to target markets where JNIM/IS-Sahel come to buy supplies, even when they do not maintain a presence there, so the strikes end up killing civilians and rarely hit actual terrorists.

But the situation is more complex, when the army comes to secure the markets on the ground they get ambushed and eventually forced to leave, like what happened a few weeks ago in the Dosso region where several soldiers were killed.
