Last months, ISIS stepped up its attacks on civilians and government forces in Boron. In response, the NAF launched a series of operations against the group’s remnants. Dozens of terrorists were reportedly killed.
ISIS in West Africa (ISWA), known as Boko Haram, has been active in the areas bordering Lake Chad, for several years now. Nigerian government forces are making serious efforts to counter the terrorist threat there. These efforts have been successful to a limited extent only.
