Nord-est du Nigeria : Escalade des offensives djihadistes contre l’armée
Northeastern Nigeria is facing an alarming resurgence of violence. In recent weeks, military bases in the region have been targeted by coordinated attacks, marking an increase in pressure from terrorist groups, particularly Boko Haram.
Last weekend was particularly deadly. According to analysts and field reports, at least six simultaneous offensives struck Borno and Yobe states and the shores of Lake Chad. The toll is heavy:
In response to this escalation, the Nigerian military issued a statement describing the maneuvers as a deliberate attempt by terrorists to overwhelm the troops' defensive positions . This level of coordination suggests advanced tactical preparation on the part of the jihadist factions.
Since the start of the insurgency in 2009, the Nigerian army has been exhausted in a war of attrition. The terrorist landscape has become more complex with the fragmentation of Boko Haram into several branches, including ISWAP (Islamic State West Africa Province).
Today, the army finds itself on several fronts, attempting to stabilize a battered Northeast while managing other hotspots of insecurity across the country.
