JNIM Strikes Niger’s Capital
Description
JNIM strikes again: In Niger’s capital, a deadly attack on the airport and military base leaves 11 security personnel dead, highlighting the escalating chaos in the Sahel. This West African Al-Qaeda affiliate, also active in Mali and Burkina Faso, continues its campaign of terror — from Bamako airport strikes to army base seizures. Amid rising tensions between JNIM and rival group ISSP, analysts warn the deadly rivalry is driving more high-impact attacks. While Niamey claims calm and operations resume, the full toll remains unknown — and nearby military bases in Tillaberi suffered separate coordinated assaults, possibly linked. The Sahel’s fragile peace hangs by a thread.
