Clashes between rival jihadist factions in northeast Nigeria have claimed some 200 lives in the restive Lake Chad area, intelligence, militia, and jihadist sources told AFP Monday.

Fighting between Boko Haram and rival Islamic State West Africa (ISWAP) militants broke out in Dogon Chiku on the shores of Lake Chad on Sunday, the sources said.

Earlier this week, Islamist militants from the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) attacked a military base in the remote town of Malam Fatori, near the border with Niger, injuring 14 troops. The assault, which involved heavy guns and rocket-propelled grenades, resulted in several attackers being killed and nine captured, military and local militia sources told AFP on Wednesday.
