Nigerian security forces have arrested two foreign jihadists in the country for allegedly providing support to local terror groups. The arrests come as the Nigerian military continues a 17-year campaign against an ongoing jihadist insurgency.
Authorities report that the military is facing new challenges as foreign fighters, including individuals from the Middle East, increasingly join the local insurgents. According to reports, these foreign operatives are supplying specialized skills and technology that have proven valuable to the terrorist networks, complicating ongoing counter-insurgency efforts.
