A newly released nine-minute video by Boko Haram’s Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati Wal-Jihad JAS has exposed intensified clashes with the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP). The video, provocatively titled “Kill Them Wherever You Locate Them: A Battle Between the Monotheists and the Infidels Within the Islamic Caliphate,” captures brutal encounters between the two jihadist factions.
The violent confrontations, which occurred from December 23 to 24, 2024, unfolded across several locations, including Toumbun Gini, Toumbun Sale, Mangari, and Metele in Abadam Local Government Area, Borno State. The footage underscores escalating rivalries within the factions, showcasing heavy combat and casualties.
Zagazola Makama, a well-known conflict analyst, has documented these clashes extensively, highlighting the growing fragmentation among extremist groups in the region. This footage marks a grim reminder of the persistent security challenges facing Nigeria and its neighbors.
Experts warn that such infighting could lead to further instability, potentially impacting civilian safety and humanitarian efforts in the affected areas.
