Al-Qaeda affiliate Jama'at Nusrat al-islam wal-Muslimin #JNIM Is a bigger threat to NW Nigeria.
Islamic state in the greater sahel #ISGS with mainly Peuls ethnic stock as members are currently formative stage.
JNIM with experienced Peul senior commanders are sweeping into /1
Niger Republique in the last 50 days. Recruits from Niger, Burkina, Chad & Mali find this group more attractive.
While the criminal groups in NW Nigeria are currently independent of these terror groups, we see an alliance with the terror groups whose members are mainly of /2
the same ethnic stock in months as the heat is turned on them by the Nigerian security Ops in their strongholds in NW.
The large numbers of deaths & persecution of the Peuls in Mali have attracted seemingly laid back Peuls to radical jihad with trained militia members signing up

#Breaking: Reports suggest that the leader of #ISIS, AbuBakr-Al #Baghdadi has been reportedly killed in a raid at a compound of Al-Qaeda jihadists in north #Idlib last night in #Syria. Lots of reports says he might have killed himself when being surrounded by #US special forces.
#Update: But i want to see proof of that with a DNA sample, because #US media has reported already 2 times in the past that the leader of #ISIS, AbuBakr-Al #Baghdadi was killed. But has resurfaced 2 times back again with a video posting he was alive in #Iraq and #Syria.
#Breaking: Just in - Military intelligence service of the #Pentagon has "confirmed" that leader of #ISIS Abu Bakr-Al #Baghdadi was killed last night in #Idlib in North of #Syria.

#Iraq saying its "Eagle unit" has effectively contributed in localising Abu Bakar al #Baghdadi in #Idlib #Syria.
2 non Iraqi #ISIS commanders are expected to lead the group: Abu abdel rahman al-Jazrawi (#Saudi) or Abu Abdallah al-Faransi. #ISIS will need a few months to recover
With Baghdadi killed, #ISIS will not start its operations until re-organised first.

In this case, there is no need for the #US forces to keep forces in #Syria oil fields to protect these from #ISIS.

In the next hours, there will be many "fathers" who contributed and collaborated in killing #ISIS leader al-Baghdadi.

Just keep in mind he was in #Idlib, the biggest concentration city in the Middle East of jihadists.

The question is how did Baghdadi get to and survive in Barisha, #Idlib 20 mins from the border with Turkey, (with nearby Turkish bases) surrounded by rival Jihadi leaders with a $25 million price tag on his head? Or maybe that’s the point... he didn’t survive.
This is a potential location of the US raid on the Baghdadi compound, if you look at unconfirmed footage from the ground. It’s just south west of Barisha #Idlib #Syria
From what Ryan and others have geolocated, based on what may or may not be footage of the aftermath of US raid near Barisha #Idlib. This could be a potential location of the Baghdadi compound that was targeted. Again *nothing* is confirmed. Official announcement at 9am EST.

On the latest audio from top #ISIS leader Al-#Baghdadi: at first listen, the main themes: 1) showcasing ISIS expansion globally, by which uplifting the morale of the support base. 2) advising a more inclusive approach: softer Da'wa, justice, leniency, accepting others' repentance
The topic of upholding "justice" when dealing w/ "others," like those who were under ISIS rule, militants from other groups, or security forces members had created a severe backlash due to ISIS brutality. Baghdadi underscores a softer approach to attract highly needed recruits.
At the end of the audio, #Baghdadi points to the importance of accepting death over humiliation. IMO, #Baghdadi sounded enthused about expansion in West & Central Africa and operating globally, & dying for the cause didn't sound like "attack the West" but like "keep expanding."
