5 month agoISWA has released a new photo series showing ISWA militants' attack against Nigerian Army in Damasak town, Borno.
Boko Haram fighters currently burning down houses in Ajilari, at the outskirts of Maiduguri, not far from Gomari. Burning of houses or a whole community is a signature attack of Shekau's faction. Important to note that Ajilari is in Maiduguri.
Reports coming in from Auno indicate that ISWAP fighters were pushed back after they suffered heavy casualties from the Nigerian troops, but the group's capacity to carry out daily attacks on military targets across the region call for serious concern.
ISWAP eyes, perhaps set on Maiduguri, as this night attack by the group is ongoing in Auno, barely 24 kilometres to the city. The Nigerian Airforce is currently providing air support to ground troops.
