Emerging Jihadist Threat on the Burkina Faso–Togo Frontier

In May 2025, Al-Qaeda’s Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen (JNIM) dramatically shifted the security landscape in the central Sahel by seizing two pivotal towns in Burkina Faso. First, in late March, jihadist fighters overran the garrison at Diapaga—just 25 kilometres from Togo’s eastern border—looting weapons, vehicles, and ammunition and establishing a forward operating base.

According to multiple Ugandan military sources cited by Africa Security Analysis, the initial attack stemmed from a misidentification: Congolese patrol boats were mistaken for militiamen of the FRPI (Patriotic Resistance Force of Ituri), who are active in this volatile region. The provisional toll reports several FARDC soldiers killed or wounded.
