Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A clash between rival terrorist factions has led to the deaths of several fighters from the Islamic State West Africa Province, ISWAP, and the Bakoura-led Boko Haram.<\/p>\n

The confrontation occurred east of Mallam Fatori in Borno State, near the border with Niger Republic, towards the eastern part of Boso.<\/p>\n

Security analyst and counter-insurgency expert Zagazola Makama stated that \u201cthe fighting led to the deaths of dozens of terrorists on both sides, with several fighters sustaining severe injuries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reports indicate that the clash resulted in heavy casualties.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe two groups have been engaged in a bitter rivalry over influence and control in the area. This latest confrontation has further weakened their operational strength, as many fighters were killed and their hideouts exposed,\u201d Makama added.<\/p>\n

This development comes as ISWAP held a mass funeral for jihadists neutralised by the Nigerian Air Force on 19 March in Mafa Local Government Area.<\/p>\n

The burial took place on Sunday in the villages of Talwari and Muktari in Konduga Local Government Area.<\/p>\n
