Jihadist problem in northwestern Nigeria continues to worsen
|
Translated Text:
The jihadist problem in northwestern Nigeria continues to worsen and no longer constitutes merely a local threat, but a challenge for all of West Africa.
The attack probably carried out by Boko Haram this week is particularly atrocious, and the Lakurawa group, affiliated with the Islamic State in northwestern Nigeria, would likely have played a role in the attack on Niamey airport in Niger last week.
During the Niamey attack, reports indicate that the militants used kamikaze drones in coordination with the ground assault, a capability and tactic that the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), based in Nigeria, has already demonstrated in the past, unlike the Islamic State Sahel Province (ISSP).
Over the past few years, the Islamic State's core would have contributed to the transfer of this technology to ISWAP and encouraged the latter to strengthen its support for ISSP, with Lakurawa playing the role of a key logistical hub between the two provinces of the organization.
