Significant loot, too. There was a quite similar attack on Goniri in... March 2020. Dozens of soldiers had been killed, then, and many vehicles destroyed. ISWAP seems to have seriously reorganised after the jihadi civil war of 2023...

#ISWAP #BokoHaram seems to be on a roll right now. A big attack on an army base in Goniri, they claim they have killed 11 soldiers and burnt 18 army vehicles, including one battle tank...

But that's the only car shown on the side of the attackers, who seem to have arrived on bikes... ISWAP has really turned to light cavalry tactics...

Pictures for the #ISWAP #BokoHaram attack on the Cameroonian army base in the Nigerian town of Wulgo are out... Seems to have been serious... significant loot/ghanima... including two 4x4.

Conversely, there are African countries in where there is a sense of exceptionalism, and it does have impact. Senegal is one of those, and Christian Coulon has written a piece about that in the volume below.

Henrik Vigh has described the special pessimism that many Bissau-Guineans deploy when they talk about their country. This sense that it's going to waste. That there is no hope. Kriol has this saying:"Djitu ka ten" - there is no way.

En #Guinée putschiste, la rhétorique militariste comme solution aux problèmes... "2000 nouveaux fonctionnaires entament une formation civilo-militaire avant leur prise de service"... And what a picture, too... Tout ça ferait un joli sujet d'ethnographie... aconakrylive.com/administrati...

Hearing some news from Lake Chad #BokoHaram... the Chadian military got fairly deep into the lake, to the vicinity of Madayi, on the Chad-Nigeria border. #ISWAP land, actually, not that of #JASDJ (which is the faction that carried out the attack on the Chadian garrison in Barkaram).
