An Entity of Type: societal event, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In May 2021, the Islamic State's West Africa Province (ISWAP) launched an invasion of the Sambisa Forest in Borno State, Nigeria, which served as main base of Boko Haram, a rival jihadist rebel group. Following heavy fighting, ISWAP overran the Boko Haram troops, cornering their leader Abubakar Shekau. The two sides entered negotiations about Boko Haram's surrender during which Shekau committed suicide, possibly detonating himself with a suicide vest. Shekau's death was regarded a major event by outside observers, as he had been one of the driving forces in the Islamist insurgency which has affected Nigeria and neighboring countries since 2009.

  • Em maio de 2021, a Província da África Ocidental do Estado Islâmico lançou uma invasão da no Estado de Borno, Nigéria, que servia como base principal do Boko Haram, um grupo rebelde jihadista rival. Após combates pesados, o Estado Islâmico da África Ocidental suplantou as tropas do Boko Haram, encurralando seu líder Abubakar Shekau. Os dois lados entraram em negociações sobre a rendição do Boko Haram, durante a qual Shekau supostamente cometeu suicídio, possivelmente detonando-se com um colete suicida. A possível morte de Shekau foi considerada um grande acontecimento por observadores externos, já que ele foi uma das forças motrizes da insurgência islamista que afeta a Nigéria e os países vizinhos desde 2009.
