Nigerian Army in fierce gunfight
Footage of the Nigerian Army in a gunfight with an unseen enemy, either ISIS or Boko Haram. The soldiers appear to be in a defensive perimeter with a variety of military vehicles, including trucks and tanks. The tanks do not appear to participate, but an automatic weapon on a tactical vehicle can be seen firing into the brush, along with infantry. One man, an officer or NCO, walks upright, providing direction to the other soldiers, unconcerned with return fire.

Members of the Islamist militant group JNIM attack and destroy a convoy of fuel trucks sixty-eight kilometers outside of the Malian capital of Bamako. The Al Qaeda affiliate has launched persistent attacks on Mali’s highways in an attempt to starve the government of fuel. The military has resorted to running protected convoys, but as this video illustrates, these are not always successful. In this particular attack, several military trucks were destroyed and soldiers killed. It is worth noting the militant who ran past the truck spewing fuel and through a puddle gas as the shooting continues and other vehicles burn nearby.

CCTV footage coming out of South Africa yesterday captures a shootout between robbers and security guards conducting a cash-in-transit movement. The ambush happens as the security guard is carrying out a bag of cash to the armored vehicle, and as soon as the shooting starts the security guard armed with a rifle bails on the guy carrying the bag of cash. This leaves that individual completely unprotected, and he's forced to surrender the bag under direct fire while attempting to get into the armored vehicle.

Militants with Al Qaeda affiliate JNIM raid and ransack a Malian army outpost near the town of Bamba. The booty included military trucks with heavy machine guns. JNIM has been attacking isolated villages and army outposts while attempting to blockade the capital by attacking fuel convoys. The strategy has challenged the Malian military, which is supported by Russia’s Africa Corps.
2 views / TodayNigerian super tucano light attack plane
A Nigerian A-29 Super Tucano light attack plane make a pass over Beninese rebels in the town of Cotonou. The Super Tucano is a Brazilian-manufactured turboprop aircraft which looks like something out of World War II, but since production began in 2003 it has become the backbone of air forces in the developing world. A relatively simple aircraft, the platform is ideal for delivering fires in support of ground troops, particularly against an enemy with minimal air defenses. It has hard points for a multitude of conventional and smart munitions and has been upgraded to integrate smart munitions such as the JDAM. For the Nigerian Air Force, which is more concerned with close air support than air superiority, the Super Tucano is an essential platform in operations against rebel groups and Islamic insurgents.

An ethnic Tuareg separatist group, the Mouvement des Nigériens pour la justice (MPLJ), has attacked an oil pipeline in Niger. The MPLJ has operated since 2007, staging attacks against the military and against critical infrastructure. Though being one of the top five uranium producers in the world, Niger is one of the poorest countries in the world. The MPLJ demands a greater share of uranium revenues and a limit on the expansion of uranium mines into their territory.

Recent footage of Islamist militants running amok in a village in Mali provides appropriate context for discussing the existential death struggle tearing the west African nation to pieces. The military junta in Mali finds itself in an existential death struggle with the Al Qaeda affiliate JNIM, which is waging a simple, yet crippling campaign to starve the government of fuel. As a landlocked nation, Mali depends on its highways for trade and for commodities such as fuel, and the jihadists have correctly identified this constraint as the regime’s critical vulnerability. Targeting fuel trucks on roads from Senegal and Côte d'Ivoire, JNIM is cutting the supply of fuel to the capital and threating to strangle the government in Bamako.

Members of the Sudanese Armed Forces show off an FPV drone before deploying it against the Rapid Support Force (RSF) rebels. Both sides in this conflict have received assistance in drone technology from external actors, including Russia and Ukraine. After the fall of the city of El Fasher to the RSF last month, the SAF announced nationwide mass mobilization and launched a vigorous campaign against the rebel group.

Drone footage of a strike by the Malian air force against vehicles at an encampment near the city of Kidal. The Malian government claims that the vehicles belonged to the Azawad Liberation Front, a Tuareg separatist group. Anti-government sources deny that the strike killed separatists, claiming that the site is used by illegal gold miners from Niger, who were killed in the blast. This footage is indicative of the evolving and ever more sophisticated nature of conflict in West Africa.
2 views / TodayTuareg militants fire rockets at government troops
Tuareg militants in northeastern Mali fire on government troops near the city of Kidal. Mali has struggled to counter Islamic groups such as ISIS and various Al Qaeda affiliates, which have attempted to sever the pipeline of fuel to the capital. In response, the regime has engaged in a rapid military buildup and relies heavily on Russian Africa Corps troops for training and convoy escorts. The Malian government is also forced to contend with tribal separatists in the mountains. The Tuaregs, who practice a form of Islam, do not particularly like the Islamists, and have their own issues repelling incursions from ISIS groups. Much of the Tuareg kit is obtained from slain ISIS fighters, who likely obtained their kit from government troops or from arms bazars in Libya. Mali has adopted an interesting form of equal opportunity, where pretty much anyone can find an enemy to fight.
1 views / TodayAir assault against Jihadists in Burkina Faso
An encampment of the militant Islamist group JNIM was discovered by government forces in Burkina Faso. According to the source for this video, the military then bombed the jihadist base with drones and an A29 Super Tucano, a modern turboprop aircraft made by the Brazilian company Embraer. The Burkina Faso armed forces then launched an air assault with special forces. The booty captured included weapons, tools, phones, radios, and motorcycles. Much of which was destroyed. It makes sense that the motorcycles were burned, as they can not be dragged away on a helo and provide JNIM with the mobility required to conduct raids and interdict lines of communication. It is interesting that the commandos also captured and destroyed tools, which are necessary to keep the bikes running. For everyone who has ever lost a 10mm socket, now you know where it is.
1 views / TodaySudanese militia trucks chase routed RSF
This footage, recorded by a Sudanese militiaman who makes sure we see him, shows RSF infantry being routed by pro-military technicals in Kordofan. As the RSF fighters flee on foot, they are gunned down by the trucks' machine gunners. It's all done in a manner not dissimilar to how people sometimes hunt wild hogs in the US. However, RSF has been known to engage in war crimes, crimes against humanity and outright genocide, according to sources which include BBC and Amnesty International, so very few Sudanese people, if any, are likely to have much sympathy.

Cell phone footage published by soldiers with the Nigerian Army shows a convoy of technical vehicles reacting to contact with a group of Boko Haram fighters. According to the source, the ambush was a total failure as the Nigerian troops had access to heavy weapons which enabled them to gain and maintain fire superiority against the ambushing Boko Haram fighters.
0 views / TodaySudanese jet bombs rebel positions
A fighter bomber of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) strikes rebel RSF positions at the airport in the town of Nyala. The SAF is predominantly comprised of members of Sadan’s former air force, while the RSF generally served as Sudan’s infantry arm prior to the current civil war. The two sides were unable to enact a power sharing arrangement which would have absorbed the RSF fully into the Sudanese military, thus spawning the current conflict. The SAF has a small array of Soviet-produced aircraft, including eleven MiG-29s like the one shown in the footage. The RSF has resorted to drones for air power, and has purportedly been supplied with Chinese air defense systems by the UAE.
1 views / TodayMali Militants seize village
Militant separatists of the FLA, or Azawad Liberation Front, recently seized the settlement of Koniba. The FLA is just one of several headaches for the regime in Bamako, which is also battling Islamist groups linked to ISIS and Al Qaeda. The Malian government receives aid from Russia though it is often playing whack-a-mole in the country’s periphery, swinging at threats that emerge, cause havoc, and then recede into the wilderness. If there is one advantage that the government can leverage, it is that their enemies do not share common interests. The FLA has no love for the Islamists, and the Islamists occasionally trade shots with each other.

Cell phone footage released by a member of the Sudanese military shows a group of soldiers in the back of a technical truck pursuing RSF fighters with machine gun fire. The footage was just recently released, and was allegedly filmed in late September or early October of 2025 with no additional context.
