ISSP claims JNIM seized a town

The Islamic State Sahel Province (ISSP) radio channel has claimed that the Al-Qaeda-linked Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM) seized a town from them. The claim highlights the ongoing, complex conflict between rival jihadist factions in the Sahel region. The specific location of the reported town was not provided in the initial radio traffic. This development suggests continued territorial contestation between ISSP and JNIM beyond their shared conflict with state forces.
