A cholera outbreak has reportedly k!lled nine fighters of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) in the Timbuktu Triangle, a known t3rrorist stronghold in Borno State, according to intelligence sources.
Security analyst Zagazola Makama, in a post on social media, cited security sources who said the disease had spread across several ISWAP enclaves in the area, exposing worsening sanitary conditions and limited access to medical care within the ins£rgents' camps.
According to intelligence sources, two other ISWAP fighters infected with the disease were allegedly executed by fellow members of the group after efforts to manage their condition at Kimba village failed.
The sources said the incident reflects the deteriorating health conditions inside the t3rrorist camps, where sustained military operations have disrupted the group's logistics, including access to medicines and treatment facilities.
"The development pointed to the worsening health conditions within the t3rrorist hideouts, where sustained military pressure has disrupted logistics, including access to medicines and treatment facilities," the sources said.
They added that commanders had also been encouraged to intensify efforts to intercept medical supplies and pharmaceutical products believed to be destined for t3rrorist camps, in order to further weaken ISWAP's treatment capability and operational resilience.
