Organization:notes | Islamic State West Africa Province was formed in March 2015. The group’s primary objective is to replace the Nigerian Government and establish an Islamic state with a strict interpretation of Sharia Law. Islamic State West Africa Province is the largest Daesh group in Africa with approximately 3,500 – 5,000 fighters and has access to military-grade small-arms and heavy weapons. The group focuses its attacks on regional security and military targets associated with all five Multinational Joint Task Force countries (Nigeria, Niger, Chad, Cameroon, and Benin), Western, Christian, and secular targets, and has kidnapped and executed aid workers. On December 25, 2019, Islamic State West Africa Province fighters attacked Christians in Nigeria’s Borno State, and killed 8 people with machine gun fire, and captured two others. A day later, also in Borno state, a video was released of the group’s fighters executing 11 people identified as Christians. | ca_listed_terrorists | ca-lte-381-islamic-state-west-africa-province | ||||
