Several Nigerian outlets report that a cholera outbreak kills nine fighters linked to the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) in Borno State. The reports cite intelligence and security sources, as well as security analyst Zagazola Makama’s post on X. According to the sources, the deaths occur in the “Timbuktu Triangle,” an area described as an ISWAP stronghold. The outbreak is said to spread across multiple ISWAP enclaves or camps, reflecting deteriorating sanitary conditions and limited access to medical care within the insurgents’ locations. Two additional fighters reportedly become infected and are later executed by fellow members after attempts to treat them fail, with one account mentioning Kimba village in the episode. The reports add that ongoing military pressure under Nigeria’s counter-ISWAP operations disrupts logistics, including supplies of medicines and treatment options, which may worsen outbreaks inside the camps. Some accounts also suggest commanders are urged to intercept medical supplies believed to be headed for terrorist camps, further affecting the group’s internal ability to manage illness. The claims are presented as intelligence-based and may not be independently verified in the reports.
