This is big. Hearing from two different sources of an other major overhaul of the #ISWAP command. Khalifa steps down as wali, replaced by Ba Lawan. Abu Musab al Barnawi (not dead!) as amir ul jaysh. Krimima new head of the sharia. Abubakar Mainok head of finance.
I dunno for amir amniyya and amir hisbah. Any one has the rest of the line-up?
So it seems the two main factions have reached a deal, trying to get every one on board... Impressive how that organisation can handle very VERY serious internal tensions (until the next internal purge, I guess).
I wonder how much this owes to the influence of IS central and to that of the network of local elders and clerics around the movement...
This may incidentally explain the lull in ISWAP ops on the Lake these last few days - they were busy with other stuff @SembeTv
We'll see how that holds, how centripetal & centrifugal forces work. I think that there are several structural contradictions and recurring debates within the ISWAP model (some as those in all jihad, I guess, and more) which explain the recurring internal feuds.
