ISWAP\u2019s ability to capture, modify, and utilise motorised vehicles, as well as navigate water bodies with boats, has allowed the group to sustain terror campaigns and state-like activities in Northeast Nigeria and the Lake Chad Basin. Since its 2016 split from Jama\u2019atu Ahlis Sunnah lid-Da\u2019wati wa\u2019l-Jihad also known as JAS or Boko Haram, ISWAP has become one of the most potent franchises of the Islamic State and the dominant terror group in the Lake Chad Basin. The group uses diverse modes of transportation ranging from boats, motorcycles, pickup trucks, and, more recently, improvised up-armoured carriers to move within and outside its enclaves. The Toyota Hilux and Buffalo land cruisers pickup trucks are usually mounted with Heavy Machine Guns (HMG) such as the Soviet-designed NSV and DShK HMGs, Chinese-designed W-85, and Type 85 HMGs chambered for 12.7 mm bullets. Other light trucks in the group\u2019s inventory are equipped with multiple rocket launcher tubes for firing 107mm and 122mm unguided rockets while some trucks have been seen in dual configuration with a recoilless gun and HMG.<\/p>\n

After\u00a015 years, the AU should revamp its peacebuilding approach. Source: Premium Times<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The African Union\u2019s (AU) efforts to rebuild societies divided and damaged by conflict should be reconsidered to match the continent\u2019s current needs and realities. The body\u2019s Post-Conflict Reconstruction and Development (PCRD)\u00a0policy<\/a>\u00a0adopted 15 years ago signalled a commitment not just to manage disputes but tackle their root causes in the search for sustainable peace. To mark this pledge, the AU\u2019s\u00a0PCRD Awareness Week\u00a0from 7 to 13 November aims to reflect on and strengthen Africa\u2019s peacebuilding efforts. For the AU, putting the 2006 policy into practice has been difficult for three reasons. First, the recurring nature of conflicts on the continent has left\u00a0little room for peacebuilding, which follows once clashes have ended. Second, most PCRD work is directed from AU headquarters in Addis Ababa and carried out by several AU liaison offices. These offices have played a key role so far but require more support from the AU and member states. The liaison offices\u2019 function should be strengthened to enable direct engagement with local, national and regional stakeholders. Sustained financing is needed, along with better coordination of PCRD within the AU. Peacebuilding should also be included in AU-related strategies. Third, despite the formation by the AU of the African Solidarity Initiative in 2012, funding commitments from member states have been inadequate. The\u00a0initiative<\/a>\u00a0was set up to facilitate intra-African cooperation and mobilise resources for PCRD. It recognised Africa\u2019s capacity to provide financial and technical support, which would reduce the continent\u2019s reliance on international funding for peacebuilding.<\/p>\n
