As JAS ejects ISWAP from their territories, they also attack and raid civilians who are caught up in these clashes – wondering if ISWAP can continue protecting them. Such actions would encourage civilians to leave ISWAP-controlled areas, depriving the group of its ability to recruit fighters, generate revenue, get supplies or produce food.At Premium Times, we firmly believe in the importance of high-quality journalism.
