Members of a Nigerian SOF unit engage a fringe extremist faction with a familiar face. You may recognize the fringe group from places like Raqqa, Syria, and Mosul, Iraq where they took control of their own caliphate.

Social media algorithms prevent us from typing the name of the fringe extremist faction the Nigerian SOF team are conducting a firefight with in this video. The footage above was recorded today in Borno, and it shows members of an elite Nigerian SOF team conducting combat operations against a base of operations for a fringe extremist faction. The faction in question is most famous for terror attacks at the Bataclan Music Theater, and for their reign of terror in both Iraq and Syria.

When it comes to dealing with this group specifically, African countries have absolutely no chill. Time and time again we've seen this group being eliminated with extreme prejudice throughout Africa, because regardless of how corrupt those country's governments are, they know exactly what will happen if they let the austere religious scholars gain a foothold inside of their territory.

Also, if you know who the group in question is, please don't mention the four letter acronym they go by down in the comments section. You'll trigger the bots that monitor keywords and make all kinds of bad things happen. You can refer to the group as Austere Religious Scholars, or fringe extremist faction. We wouldn't want anyone thinking about conflicts happening around the world outside of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, that's against the current media programming.
