Islamic State’s West Africa Province
Claims Victory over Nigerian Army
 National news
 11 October 2015
The Islamic State’s West Africa Province (ISWA–
formerly known as Boko Haram) has released a
short video showing its forces overrunning a
Nigerian army position in the northeastern
Nigerian province of Borno. The date of the
incident is unknown, but attacks in Borno
happen frequently.
The video shows ISWA fighters advancing on
the position through an open field on foot and
in several technicals (heavily armed pickup
trucks). The fighters are then shown targeting
the Nigerian forces, including a tank. After a
massive gunfight, Nigerian personnel and the
tank are seen retreating from their positions.
The last half of the video shows several dead
Nigerian soldiers while one soldier is seen being
captured and subsequently beheaded. In the
last scenes, the jihadists show off weapons and
vehicles taken as “spoils.”
Many of the scenes in the video are too graphic
to be published at The Long War Journal.
While the Nigerian military has driven ISWA out
of many of its strongholds in Yobe, Adamawa,
and Borno states in northeastern Nigeria, the
jihadist group continues to pose a significant
threat to the Nigerian military and the civilians
in the area. Suicide bombings and attacks like
the one shown in the video are still an almost
daily occurrence in the West African country.
Additionally, the jihadist group has been able to
conduct operations in neighboring Cameroon,
Niger, and Chad.
Just yesterday, over 30 people were killed in
suicide attacks in the Lake Chad region of Chad.
According to the Associated Press, at least 36
people were killed in two separate but
coordinated suicide bombings conducted by
five bombers. The first explosion took place in a
market in the town of Baga Sola, while another
occurred in a nearby refugee camp. The
explosion in the market killed 16 while the
attack in the refugee camp killed at least 20.
The Associated Press has reported that two of
the five bombers were women, however, Voice
of America has quoted Chadian authorities as
saying that all five were females.
ISWA has used at least 54 women as suicide
bombers since June 2014 according to data
compiled by The Long War Journal. The ages of
the women vary from just ten years old to
middle-aged. It is likely many of the girls and
women used by the jihadist group were
kidnapped before being indoctrinated into
conducting such attacks. The use of women can
make it easier for jihadist groups to conduct
suicide operations, as explosives may be easier
to hide, and men are less likely to search
women due to cultural sensitivities.
Despite a coordinated military offensive by
Nigeria, Chad, and Cameroon that has targeted
ISWA strongholds in Nigeria and the Lake Chad
region, the jihadist group has maintained its
attack tempo. ISWA has launched two suicide
bombings in N’Djamena, the capital of Chad,
over the past months, and it has conducted
multiple military assaults in Niger, Cameroon,
and Nigeria. ISWA also claimed credit for a
coordinated suicide attack in the Nigerian
capital of Abuja just last week. Also, the group
targeted Chadian troops near Lake Chad last
week; 11 soldiers and 17 jihadists were killed in
the battle.
