Organization:notesIslamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) was formed in March 2015. The group's primary objective has been to replace the Nigerian Government and establish an Islamic state with a strict interpretation of Sharia Law. ISWAP has access to military-grade small-arms and heavy weapons. The group has focused its attacks on regional security and military targets and has kidnapped and executed foreign aid workers. On December 25, 2019, ISWAP fighters attacked Christians in Nigeria's Borno State, and killed eight 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. ISWAP also claimed responsibility for a July, 2022 attack on the Kuje Custodial Centre, a major prison in Abuja, Nigeria, which allowed upwards of 800 inmates to escape. Since January 2025, ISWAP has escalated its insurgency and has overrun Nigerian security positions in Borno State, Nigeria. For example, ISWAP claimed responsibility for a wave of assaults in May 2025, attacking bases in New Marte, Dikwa, and Rann, as well as road infrastructure like the Damboa-Maiduguri corridor.ca_listed_terroristsca-lte-381-islamic-state-west-africa-province
