At least 65 soldiers—including three senior officers [9]—have been killed in jihadist raids on military garrisons [10] in Nigeria's northeast this month. Five bases were overrun by the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP [11])—four of them in a single night March 5-6, showing a notable level of coordination. Military equipment was also torched or captured, including armored vehicles. ISWAP's "Burn the Camps [12]" offensive began last year, and is accelerating against an overstretched military.
