Profile compiled from news and social media.
(TR) The DRC the EI claims the death of more than 40 "Christian fighters," meaning those who did not agree to sign a submission agreement, in recent days.
(TR) The argument "JNIM also attacks civilians" is quite revealing, so in a macabre equality does it give a right to the atrocities? "JNIM does not provide the figures of its losses"... it is expected from JNIM but not from those supposed to represent a state accountable to its population...
(TR) Ariel Sharon in 1982. Israel evacuated this position exactly 26 years ago in May 2000. Unless the current takeover is for the photo and follows an operational logic, this foreshadows an expansion of ground operations in Lebanon.
(TR) #Mali the soldiers left Oumar Mariko's home around 4 PM. No physical violence against family members. Just a broken door, a searched office, and documents taken.
(TR) The Health Inspection closed Dr. Mariko's medical clinic in Boulkassoumbougou. The reason given is his "unreported absence from duty & non-replacement." Today around 11 am, 6 military SUVs arrived at his home in Titibougou; his wife, his sisters, and his children are there.
The conflict is not as simply portrayed as “a struggle between a state and isolated extremist groups”. It [involves] separatists, jihadists, militias, foreign powers all operating within the vacuum created by collapsing state institutions @ICCT_TheHague https://t.co/c0jriMi7b0 #ConflictResolution #Jihadism #StateCollapse #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.

Few are aware of the importance of Abu Bilal, longtime HVT, he escaped a strike by western forces active in the Lake Chad area in 2023. He played a major role in consolidating ISWAP in the fight with JAS and later in fueling African affiliate with ideological & material assets #AbuBilal #ISWAP #LakeChad #NE #NG #AF

(TR) It is not a foreign jihadist, as some suggest, but a pure product of African jihad, who trained under Shekau and then with Barnawi at Lake Chad; he is also not number 2 of ISIS, nor its operations chief, but a crucial cog in its African activities.
(TR) If the elimination of Abou Bilal al-Minuki is confirmed, it would be a major blow for ISIS in West Africa and for the Sahel affiliate. He is the man of the connection and relations between the two. Close to Barnawi, he is a product of Nigerian jihad and then African.
