Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) has seen a major reshuffle with Abu Saleh replacing Abu Usman as the overall commander. Abu Saleh aims to launch multiple attacks on military locations and has formed a Special Forces unit.
The Islamic State West Africa Province has reportedly carried out a significant reshuffle within its hierarchy. This was made known on Saturday by Zagazola Makama, a Lake Chad Basin counterterrorism and insurgency expert, in a post on his X handle. Makama has disclosed that more than 30 fighters have volunteered to become suicide bombers among the ISWAP members. The development is said to be potentially linked to the recent surge in attacks on military locations across the Lake Chad region.
'His promotion to overall commander came with a declaration by ISWAP leaders that the position would be filled by an individual capable of executing at least four significant attacks on military locations within a month. Abu Saleh reportedly volunteered, vowing to meet the challenge.
