This development suggests internal fractures or disillusionment within Boko Haram's ranks, prompting key figures to defect. It also underscores the importance of comprehensive approaches to counterinsurgency efforts, including military operations, community engagement, and rehabilitation programs to encourage defections and weaken extremist groups. However, caution is warranted as some surrenders could be strategic ploys or attempts to infiltrate security forces. Thus, thorough vetting and intelligence analysis are crucial to discern genuine defections from deceptive maneuvers. This event highlights the complexity of combating terrorism and the need for nuanced strategies that address both security challenges and underlying grievances driving recruitment and support for extremist ideologies. #BokoHaram #Counterinsurgency #MilitaryOperations #Defection #IntelligenceGathering #SecurityChallenges #Terrorism #Nigeria #Borno #Peacebuilding https://lnkd.in/eeH75-Jv

This incident is probably the beginning of what the world will witness in the coming days and months. Suppose anyone is under some illusion that the war in Gaza that Israel is waging after the horrific Oct 7 attack will be confined to that region, then we are going to have a rude awakening with even more spectacular terrorist attacks in places far away from Gaza. Prime example of one such incident is Boston marathon terrorist attack perpetrated by two young men of Chechen origin, which was the direct fallout of Russia's brutal suppression of Chechen uprising. The war in Gaza is a catalyst for all those Islamic extremist groups like Hezbollah, ISIS, Al-Qaeda and Hamas, who feed on horrific wars like the one raging in Gaza, exploit the religious sentiments of scores of vulnerable youths and use them as their vehicle to cause death and destruction around the world. The world has already started to witness many such unfortunate incidents in parts of Europe, which is only going to be on the rise around the world.

#Togo – Clashes in Kpinkankandi At least 12 soldiers were killed on 20 July in a militant attack at the Kpinkankandi military base in Kpendjal prefecture (Savanes region). The attack was carried out by the al-Qaeda-aligned JNIM terrorist group, which seemingly sought to overrun the facility. The attack on the Kpinkankandi military base is indicative of the entrenched presence which JNIM insurgents have established in Togolese territory. At this stage, extremist violence in Togo is expected to remain limited to the Kpendjal and Tone prefectures for the near term. Any significant operational or logistical losses incurred by the JNIM as a result of state-led counter-terrorism operations could see a medium-term shift in the operations of the militant group, which may impact Lome.
