Did you know that #ISWAP has a weekly newsletter? It is called Al-Naba.
When Abu Al-Minuki, a top commander, was killed, it was sent out to boost the morale of the group.
Also, in its 550th episode titled “Africa Between Yesterday and Today”, it addressed the group's questions of migration.
We analysed both newsletters here: humanglemedia.com/iswap-used…

In 1906, the British erased Satiru, a town in Sokoto, northwestern Nigeria, for being "rebellious."
This incident shows how Nigeria today has inherited the use of overwhelming force to suppress communities and silence to bury history.

The mandate of Nigeria's Safe School Initiative was to ensure that terrorists would not use schools as a hunting ground.
But with an initial domestic and international pool of roughly $30 million, schools in the country remain unsafe.

How does a state track men who have left the insurgency but not entered any formal process? How does it distinguish between a deserter seeking anonymity and one rebuilding operational networks elsewhere? How does it protect communities without criminalising everyone who once lived under insurgent rule?
Nigeria has not answered those questions through a coherent national framework. Instead, it improvises.

After the #Chibokabduction, Nigeria launched the Safe School Initiative, funded with $30 million. In 2022, the initiative was relaunched with a budget of ₦144 billion.
Yet, in over a decade, over 1,680 schoolchildren have been kidnapped.
So, what happened to all the money? And why are schools still unsafe?

“The Nigerian state is weak. In many places, it genuinely struggles to protect people because of overstretched security forces, corruption, political fragmentation, and poor state capacity. That matters. A state that cannot protect is different from a state that deliberately chooses not to. But that distinction does not remove responsibility.” — @Nwankpa_A

Then Abuja changed course.
Behind closed doors, Nigeria rebuilt ties through coordinated diplomacy, intelligence cooperation, and military engagement with the United States. Follow @HumAngle_ reporting on Nigeria's insecurity.
