Nigeria, Syria, & Russia: Violence, Relocation, & Poison

Gunmen launched simultaneous attacks on three communities in northern Nigeria on Saturday, resulting in the deaths of at least 32 people, according to police. The attacks, targeting Tunga-Makeri, Konkoso, and Pissa in the Borgu area of Niger state, occurred during dawn raids.

Six people died in the assault on Tunga-Makeri, as confirmed by Niger State police spokesman Wasiu Abiodun, who also noted that the number of people abducted remained unclear. The attacks in Kosonko resulted in 26 fatalities. The region has been plagued by both Islamic militants and armed gangs.

In other news, the United States completed the transfer of more than 5,700 suspected ISIL (ISIS) detainees from Syria to Iraq. The 23-day mission, which began on January 21, saw US forces successfully transport over 5,700 adult male ISIS fighters from detention facilities in Syria to Iraqi custody, according to a statement from US Central Command (CENTCOM) on X.

Meanwhile, the UK and its allies chose a security conference in Munich to accuse the Kremlin of killing Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny with dart frog poison, according to Sky News. The announcement was deliberately timed to grab global headlines. Naming the person or government allegedly responsible for such a political assassination is a form of information weapon, according to Deborah Haynes, Security and Defence Editor for Sky News.

In the realm of sports, Pakistan's cricket captain stated that it was up to India's players to decide whether they would shake hands with his team before and after their T20 World Cup match. The match in Colombo, Sri Lanka, marked the first time the teams had met since an acrimonious clash last September at the Asia Cup tournament in the UAE, which India won. The match comes amid political and military tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.

Finally, the Palestinian cause, which has historically found its most receptive audiences on the political left, must now reach beyond those spaces to shift policy, according to Palestinian political analyst and playwright Ahmed Najar, writing in Al Jazeera. He noted that in today's political landscape, relying solely on the left is insufficient to influence policy shaped by security thinking and conservative power.
