Despite denials by the Nigerian military, Boko Haram fighters seized Baga, Doron-Baga, Kross Kawwa, Bunduran, Kekeno and Kukawa towns of Borno State after three days of fierce battles from Wednesday to Friday last week, Daily Trust learnt from impeccable military and political sources in Maiduguri yesterday.

All six towns are major population centres in Kukawa local government area of northern Borno. There are currently no Nigerian or Multinational forces in the areas, Daily Trust learnt from multiple sources last night.

The insurgents, driving in a convoy of more than ten fighter vehicles, used the main road from Kros Kawwa to launch coordinated attacks on Wednesday last week, December 26. They overrun the Multinational ‎forces’ headquarters, a naval fighting base and a Marine Police base in some of the attacked areas, the sources said.

An agency has countered claims that the Nigerian government has lost control of the fight against insurgencies - The US-based agency described the report as fallacy and mischievous - According to Universal Watch Network, the report by ISSA is filled with rehashed information, innuendos, half-truths and outright lies A United States of America-based agency has countered reports that the Nigerian government lost control of its fight against terrorists in the northeast. The agency, the Universal Watch Network said the claim by International Strategic Studies Association that the federal government and the Nigerian military is no longer sure of what faction of the terrorist group it is fighting was a fallacy and mischievous. According to UWN, the "propaganda first surfaced as a report by Washington-based group, International Strategic Studies Association (ISSA) here in the United States, which has now been repeated by many indigenous media organizations in Nigeria as intended by the originators of the report." The vice president, political affairs at the UWN, Roberts Gordon, in a statement released on Monday, December 31, said the report is filled with rehashed information, innuendos, half-truths and outright lies.

And this is from ISSA:

December 31, 2018: International Strategic Studies Association Executive Director Pamela von Gruber issued a statement in Washington, DC, to say that widespread controversy and coverage in Nigeria over a report published by ISSA's Global Information System (GIS) for its government-only audience had now been released in full to quell debate over it. She said: "GIS's Defense & Foreign Affairs Special Analysis reports are produced solely for the purposes of guiding policy officials around the world and are not normally meant for public release, because they are meant to be seen in the context of historical analysis by the Service and detailed country studies. However, given the extent of speculation based on the December 28, 2018, report on the Nigerian situation in the war against the Boko Haram groups, it was decided that the full text of this single document be made public. This historical stream of reports, analysis, and data on which the document was based will not, however, be made public. These remain the property of the GIS user governments around the world."

So, I went on a hunt to locate (on the web) Universal Watch Network and Dr. Roberts Gordon. I can't find either. I did find this.
