ISWAP Reverts to Grassroots Recruitment Amid Heavy Losses
ISWAP Reverts to Grassroots Recruitment Amid Heavy Losses

Recent intelligence indicates that the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) has reverted to its foundational recruitment tactics in response to sustained losses within its ranks over recent weeks.
Facing significant attrition due to ongoing military operations, the group is reportedly engaging in direct outreach within local communities. Sources reveal that ISWAP operatives have been moving from one settlement to another, targeting young men with ideological sermons in a bid to swell their numbers.
This shift suggests a strategic adaptation aimed at rebuilding manpower through face-to-face recruitment, echoing earlier methods used during the group’s initial expansion.
Authorities and community leaders have been urged to remain vigilant and to report any suspicious activities to security agencies as efforts continue to counter violent extremism in the region.
