Islamic State kills more than 150 soldiers in series of attacks across Niger
The Islamic State claimed responsibility for a 9 January attack on a military base in western Niger, in which at least 89 soldiers were killed.
The attack was the third major such operation since 10 December, with at least 174 Nigerien soldiers having been killed by militants operating under the Islamic State’s Wilayat Gharb Afriqiyya during the period.
The operations underline the growing focus of the Islamic State on the Sahel, as illustrated by a 10 January Wilayat Gharb Afriqiyya video highlighting the group’s regional capabilities and its ongoing loyalty to the Islamic State’s central leadership.

apparently African troops just sit around waiting to get smoked by islamic state.

...they appear to be easier targets than civilians at school or in a marketplace.

Iran's Quds Force aimed to launch terror groups in Africa, UN hears

A report by the UN's Panel on the Central African Republic details how the Quds Force allegedly met with the country's former president to offer him backing in return for amassing a terror group.

The footage was self incriminating. In a longer version obtained by a UN panel of experts for an official report on the Central African Republic, he revealed that, upon instruction from former Central African Republic president Michael Djotodia and with the support of Iran's IRGC Quds Force, Djidah had set up an armed group named 'Saraya Zahraa' to wage violence against Western, Israeli and Saudi interests in Africa.

However, the report notes: "The Panel was unable to meet with Djidah and is unable, at the present stage, to confirm the veracity of the information contained in his testimony in its entirety."
