In a fierce territorial clash near Dori, northern Burkina Faso, militants from Jama’at Nasr al-Islam wal Muslimin (JNIM) successfully repelled an attack by Islamic State in the Greater Sahara (ISIS-GS) fighters on Thursday. The confrontation left four ISIS-GS combatants dead, highlighting the intense rivalry between these jihadist groups for control in the Sahel region.
This latest skirmish underscores the fractured dynamics of Burkina Faso’s insurgency, where competing militant factions exploit local vulnerabilities and porous borders to assert dominance. As violence escalates, communities in the conflict zone face mounting insecurity and displacement.
