Nigeria: Intense Clashes Between Boko Haram and ISIS

Fierce battles have escalated in northeastern Nigeria between two factions of Boko Haram—one loyal to ISIS and the other maintaining allegiance to al-Qaeda—according to reports from the region.

These reports, based on statements from local sources and security experts, indicate that violent clashes erupted two weeks ago and have continued since then, resulting in heavy losses for ISIS fighters.

The reports also warned of a “major confrontation” between ISIS and Boko Haram, which could have severe consequences for local communities in the Lake Chad Basin, a region spanning Nigeria, Chad, Cameroon, and Niger.
