🇳🇬🇳🇬🏴 — Nigerian armed forces continue their offensive against ISWAP territory in the 'Timbuktu Triangle', south west of Maiduguri, near Damboa.

➡️ Started on the 16th January, Operation Desert Sanity IV aims at dismantling ISWAP strongholds in the North-East region.

➡️The military claims to have taken the 4 towns of Jemyeri, Abulam, Agum, and Digamari from ISWAP terrorists in the past 10 days of the offensive, killing more than 60 ISWAP militants.

➡️22+ soldiers were killed during the operation so far, and dozens more injured.

➡️ The armed forces also shot down some drones ISWAP terrorists were using for reconnaissance and (likely) as kamikaze/delivery drones, several IEDs and SVBIEDs were used against Nigerian troops, notably an SVBIED was used against the soldiers in Gardari base, resutling in the death of the Commanding Officer of the operation and others.

➡️ISWAP is yet to comment on the battles, but it is important to note that in previous offensives of this kind, towns were ISWAP is disloged usually come back to its control after the army leaves them, as Abulam for example which was recaptured by the military in 2022 but now is getting re-recaptured 3 years later.

🇸🇩 Sudan Army's Victory in Wad Madani: A Turning Point in the War

The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) have achieved a major victory by recapturing Wad Madani, one of Sudan's largest cities, from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). This marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing conflict that has devastated the country since April 2024. The city's liberation is the result of a meticulously planned four-month counter-offensive launched during the dry season.

The RSF withdrew without a fight, as they had done in other key locations earlier. This victory shifts the frontline northward, closer to Khartoum, and deals a significant blow to the RSF's operations in central Sudan.

Regional tensions have soared with the DRC accusing Rwanda of backing the rebels. Kenya's President Ruto, as EAC chair, has called an urgent regional summit to address the crisis. Meanwhile, humanitarian concerns grow as thousands flee the fighting.
