IS Responds to Military Pressure in Nigeria
Despite Nigeria's assessment, the emerging consensus was that Lakurawa was not a unified entity but rather an umbrella term, and that attacks attributed to the group were likely perpetrated by a mix of Islamic State Sahel Province (ISSP). JNIM, bandits. and potentially a separate new group operating under the label without claiming responsibility.https://lawakhigbe.com/2026/07/25/is-responds-to-military-pressure-in-nigeria/

When Tactical Brilliance Meets Strategic Confusion: Washington’s Iran Problem by Lawson Akhigbe
But wars are not graded like Olympic gymnastics. There are no medals for technical execution if the end result leaves your opponent intact, emboldened, or—worse—adapted. -

Tinubu, the Sahel and Nigeria’s Most Dangerous Foreign Policy Failure
There was a time when Nigeria did not wait for foreign capitals to define West African security. From the anti-apartheid struggle in Southern Africa to military interventions in Liberia and Sierra Leone, Nigeria projected power, influence and diplomatic leadership. Whether one agreed with its methods or not, nobody doubted who was leading. -

Sahel Regional Security Dynamics: A Multifaceted Analysis (as of late 2025–early 2026)
The modern Sahel crisis traces back to the 2011 Libyan collapse, which flooded the region with weapons and fighters, reigniting Tuareg rebellions in northern Mali in 2012. This enabled Islamist groups to seize territory, leading to French intervention (Operation Serval in 2013, later Barkhane). Initial gains were undermined by persistent weak governance: corruption, urban-rural divides, ethnic tensions (e.g., Fulani pastoralists vs. agricultural communities), and state absence in rural peripheries. -

Africa Corps, a paramilitary group controlled by Russia's Defence Ministry, confirmed on Monday that its forces had withdrawn from the northern town of Kidal in Mali after fierce fighting there. Africa Corps has been supporting the Malian junta since deploying to Mali in 2025. But Russia's presence in the country stretches back to 2021.

> "Preserving Heritage and Identity": A scientific Symposium at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities
>Faculty of Arts and Humanities at #Damascus University organized a scientific symposium entitled "Preserving #Heritage and Identity", in which challenges facing heritage and cultural #identity, social changes, and the role of #Arabic in promoting national identity were discussed.
>Vice President of #DamascusUniversity, Dr. #MaysaaAlSioufi, stressed that heritage represents the memory of peoples and their #history, and is a means to preserve the #uniqueness of national identity in light of the accelerating global challenges.
> ...
>Dean of the Faculty of #Arts and #Humanities, Dr. #AliAllaham, stressed the vital role played by the faculty in promoting awareness of the importance of heritage and national identity, and that heritage is not just a reminiscent past, but a living part of the present and the future, which contributes to building a coherent cultural identity, and encourages students to conduct in-depth #research that sheds light on the national heritage and ways to protect it.
(hashtags added by me.... it is alleged today that the military in #syria were basically volunteers, whereas the #jihadists in #usa / #turkey -backed #Idlib province were allegedly paid $2000 /month)

Priorities of outside powers in @syria
'It is perplexing that, despite the apparent “confidence” in Jolani – a figure who was once branded “the world’s most wanted terrorist” – as a moderate revolutionary leader, there is scant recognition of the democratic model Rojava has offered since its establishment.'

The USA obtained a ceasefire line (between SNA and SDF) at the river Euphrates, similar to that of the Aleppo governate. It's official:
'CAIRO, Dec 11 (Reuters) - The U.S.-backed Kurdish Syrian forces (SDF) and Syria's Turkey-backed rebels reached a ceasefire agreement in the northern city of Manbij through a U.S. mediation "to ensure the safety and security of civilians," SDF commander Mazloum Abdi said early on Wednesday.
"The fighters of the Manbij Military Council, who have been resisting the attacks since November 27, will withdraw from the area as soon as possible," Abdi added.'

The Turkish-backed "Syrian National Army" #SNA controls territories in the north of @syria, along the border with #Turkiye.
On 6 December 2024, the SNA initiated extensive and escalating military operations eastward to #Manbij. Manbij is a city, 30 kilometers west of the river Euphrates. During the Syrian Civil War, the city was first captured by rebels in 2012, overrun by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in 2014 and finally captured by the Syrian Democratic Forces #SDF [the forces that defend Rojava] in 2016.Yesterday, Monday, 9 December: "YPJ spokeswoman Ruken Cemal said that the claims that Manbij was occupied were not true, and that an epic resistance was carried out in Manbij."

"Syria's rapid collapse – driven by internal decay, external aggression, and shifting alliances – has plunged it into uncertainty, leaving the nation's fate entangled in regional and global power struggles that only its people can resolve."

In a 2014 lecture at Harvard Kennedy School on US foreign policy, then Vice President Joe Biden explained how US allies including #SaudiArabia, #UAE, #Qatar, and #Turkey - financed and armed terrorist groups Al-Qaeda, Al-Nusra, and others to fight against the Assad government in Syria. Biden stated, "They were so determined to take down #Assad, and essentially have a proxy Sunni-Shia war, they poured hundreds of millions of dollars and thousands of tons of #weapons into anyone who fight against Assad." Biden adds, "The people who were being supplied were Al-Nusra, Al-Qaeda, and extremist elements of #Jihadists coming from other parts of the world."

The suspects in the foiled plot to attack Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna earlier this month sought to kill “tens of thousands” of fans before the CIA discovered intelligence that disrupted the planning and led to arrests, the agency’s deputy director said.

"They are all part of the same goal for example, at the beginning of this year in the context of their campaign on #Gaza we saw #Malian #jihadists firing off rockets with 'this is revenge for the Muslims of Gaza' written on the side of them in order to build themselves into to this supposedly global movement. It's that degree of legitimacy that they're able to gain from portraying themselves as part of this worldwide jihadist movement."

"for them it is #Russia 's military involvement from years ago in #Afghanistan and #Chechnya . And of course more recently in #Syria and then in #Mali through the #Wagner group and other conflict areas where #jihadists are also active. So, for them It was, yes, of course, da, of course we would target Russia. It's a key enemy. #Moscow was an opportunity. They happened to have operatives there, who are capable, who are willing"
