Nigerian Soldiers Kill 50 ISWAP Militants in Yobe Clash

African outlets describe a broad Nigerian military push against ISWAP, bandits, and separatist groups across several states. They present the armed forces as trying to regain control of rural areas while still struggling with attacks on bases and villages. Commentators expect more raids and air strikes but doubt that violence in places like Plateau and Borno will end quickly.

• •Nigerian troops are conducting coordinated operations in Yobe, Borno, Katsina, Kogi, Enugu, and Plateau to hit multiple armed groups at once.
• •ISWAP cells in Yobe and Borno are being targeted to reduce their ability to attack military bases and highways.
• •The army is also confronting IPOB-linked elements in Enugu, showing that security operations now span both northern and southeastern states.
• •Continued killings of civilians in Plateau State show that local communities remain exposed despite military deployments.
• •Security forces expect a prolonged campaign because armed groups can regroup after losing fighters and weapons.
