The Islamic State's West Africa Province (ISWAP) has undergone significant leadership changes, with Abu Saleh taking over from Abu Usman as the overall commander for the Southern Lake Chad Basin Region Authority (LCRBA). The new commander has initiated a team of Special Forces for targeted military operations.
Zagazola Makama, a Lake Chad Basin counterterrorism and insurgency expert, reported on Saturday that the Islamic State West Africa Province ( ISWAP ) has made a significant leadership change. More than 30 fighters have reportedly volunteered as suicide bombers.
The position of overall commander for the Southern Lake Chad Basin Region Authority (LCRBA) was declared vacant, leading to the replacement of the previous commander, Abu Usman, who is believed to have been neutralized in recent operations. Abu Saleh, a key figure from Tumbun Gini, has taken over the command. Under his leadership, a team of around 150 Special Forces, led by Abu Ubaida, has been mobilized for coordinated attacks on military locations
