May the Souls of our Fallen Heroes Rest In Peace, Ameen. No amount of enemy propaganda campaign, influence Ops or info warfare will detter the AFN from its objective of wiping them out and restoring peace to the Fatherland. They will face the inescapable Justice com8ng their way.

ISWAP’s Farouk Wilayah’s governance in action: - Warning against civilian collaboration with the military, including taking photos of fighters. - Provision of drugs and food items to civilians living in the Wilayah - Religious outreach Defeating ISWAP requires a lot.

The same way people talk about the Holocaust, the same way this will be talked about in years to come. Hopefully, those who watch now in silence will be remembered in the same breath, albeit shamefully.

We should all be ashamed of ourselves for what’s happening in Gaza.

Sazedek's tweet card. The jihadist group poses more than a military challenge to the Nigerian government – its hearts and minds campaign is also a political threat.

ISIS reshared this video of ISWAP’s 2019 attack on the Baga Naval Base. I still remember vividly how I shouted and my knees almost gave in seeing my childhood friend and classmate in the video, later executed. A daily reminder of the sacrifices of our brave military.

This project by @Dataphyte is a fantastic addition to Nigeria’s peace and security landscape, more so given the focus on different aspects of conflict data, which I think there is currently a dearth of. Congrats, @Dataphyte, for this initiative.

DDataphyte Foundation@Dataphytefdn · Jul 18

Dataphyte is launching a project titled "Security Research and Media Monitoring." This research aims to inform Nigeria's security policy, spotlight trends, incident hotspots, and media impacts and gaps in coverage, in line with the growing insecurity in Nigeria. #Dataphyte

Another masterpiece from ⁦@VincentFoucher⁩ “The surge in jihadist activity that began in April 2025 in the Lake Chad Basin owes almost exclusively to, and was initiated by, ISWAP – the faction aligned with the Islamic State.” ispionline.it/en/publication…

Sazedek's tweet card. In the Lake Chad Basin, jihadist factions have launched a renewed offensive against military forces, revealing the resilience and adaptability of their deeply rooted insurgent social structures.

CLARIFICATION: Civilians are only allowed to farm within 2km of the highway. Anything beyond is off-limits. This is the reality in conflict zones, where insecurity shrinks farmland, worsens food insecurity, and deepens humanitarian crises.

MMalik Samuel@Sazedek · Jul 16

ISWAP’s Farouk Wilayah has prohibited civilian farming across a stretch of land from Jakana in Borno State to Gujba in Yobe, approximately 2 kilometres off the Maiduguri–Damaturu highway. Farmers said the group began chasing them away on 9 July.
