Since they pledged allegiance to ISIS, they haven't made any public
appearance but for the first time, Boko Haram has released new
images.Unlike their previous method of releasing videos, they choose to
release pictures without the presence of their leader, Shekau..This is
fueling reports that, their end is imminent...
They have changed their name and now refer to themselves as Wilayat al
Sudan al Gharbi, which is commonly translated into English as the 'West
African Province' of the Islamic State.
The release comes as the Nigerian military claims the insurgents have
run out of ammunition and now use bow and arrows.Their
stronghold,Sambisa forest was also invaded .
.However, according to report by Reuters, the
military were forced to retreat after 3 vigilante members were killed by
landmines..'The soldiers have retreated to Bama because of mines. They had been on the road but that made them vulnerable, so they moved to the bush but there are mines planted there (too),' one soldier, who did not want to be named, revealed.'Three of our boys were killed by a landmine as we progressed into Sambisa. We've suspended going farther,' Muhammad Mungonu, a member of a pro-government vigilante, told Reuters.
