US Conducts Spy Flights Over Sambisa Forest Amid Terrorism Concerns

The US intensifies military surveillance in Nigeria's Sambisa Forest after Sokoto airstrikes to track terrorist movements. Analyst Brant Philip discloses the focus on Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) activities in the region.

ISWAP remains active in Nigeria's northeast and Lake Chad Basin, carrying out deadly attacks on civilians, military, and critical infrastructure. The vast forest terrain of Sambisa continues to serve as a strategic base for insurgent groups due to its challenging landscape and extensive coverage.
