尼日利亚与尼日尔、马里、布基纳法索商谈重组乍得湖多国联合特遣队
尼日利亚国防部发言人 Samaila Uba 11月5日在首都 Abuja 表示，尼日利亚已开始与萨赫勒国家联盟（AES）成员国商谈，拟重组乍得湖流域的多国联合特遣队（MNJTF），以便在西非政治格局变化后维持区域反恐合作。这支特遣队2015年组建，成员包括尼日利亚、尼日尔、乍得、喀麦隆和贝宁，主要任务是打击「博科圣地」及其关联武装团伙。
这一动向的背景是：马里、布基纳法索和尼日尔三国此前退出西非国家经济共同体（ECOWAS），2023年结成萨赫勒国家联盟、2024年7月升级为邦联，西非传统的磋商机制随之弱化，西方驻军也已撤离萨赫勒地区。尼日利亚希望跨越两个阵营之间的分歧，把地面军事合作维持下去，有关讨论正在进行中，但重组的具体内容与时间表尚未公布。
地区安全形势仍然严峻：冲突数据项目 ACLED 的统计显示，今年以来三个萨赫勒联盟国家境内记录在案的圣战组织相关事件已有2,145起。11月6日，尼日尔总统 Abdourahamane Tiani 与马里过渡总统 Assimi Goita 在尼日尔首都尼亚美会晤，重申萨赫勒国家联盟内部的反恐与安全合作，肯定联盟统一部队的反恐进展。
分析人士指出，尼日利亚与尼日尔等国正试图重新靠拢共同应对恐怖主义，眼下局势与「博科圣地」叛乱初期已大不相同；特遣队如何重组，将取决于后续外交磋商的结果。

Nigeria in Talks With Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso to Restructure the Lake Chad Multinational Joint Task Force
Nigeria's defence ministry spokesman Samaila Uba said in Abuja on November 5 that Nigeria has opened discussions with member states of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) to restructure the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) in the Lake Chad Basin, so that regional counter-terrorism cooperation can continue after the political reshaping of West Africa. The task force, created in 2015, groups Nigeria, Niger, Chad, Cameroon and Benin and is charged mainly with fighting Boko Haram and affiliated armed groups.
The move follows the withdrawal of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). The three countries formed the Alliance of Sahel States in 2023 and turned it into a confederation in July 2024, weakening traditional consultation mechanisms as Western forces pulled out of the Sahel. Nigeria hopes to bridge the divide between the two blocs and keep military cooperation on the ground working; discussions are under way, but no details or timeline for the restructuring have been announced.
The regional security picture remains severe: data from the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data project (ACLED) counted 2,145 jihadist-related events in the three AES states so far this year. On November 6, Niger's President Abdourahamane Tiani and Mali's transitional president Assimi Goita met in Niamey and reaffirmed counter-terrorism and security cooperation within the Sahel alliance, praising the progress of its unified force.
Analysts say Nigeria and countries such as Niger are trying to come together again to confront terrorism, in a situation very different from the early days of the Boko Haram insurgency; how the task force is reshaped will depend on further diplomatic consultations.
