IS announces new leader for Boko Haram to replace Abubakar Shekau.

-
Islamist group Boko Haram has mysteriously replaced its notorious leader with its former spokesman who promises not to attack mosques or markets used by Muslims, the Islamic State group's newspaper has announced.
The Arabic-language newspaper al-Nabaa on Wednesday identified Abu Musab al-Barnawi as the new 'Wali,' a title previously used to describe long-time leader Abubakar Shekau. The report does not say what Shekau's current status is. He was in charge since 2009.

Analyst Jacob Zenn says the announcement indicates a coup by Boko Haram breakaway group Ansaru and follows a trend of extremist Islamic groups moving away from al-Qaida to the Islamic State.
Ansaru is known for kidnapping foreigners. It had broken away from Boko Haram because it disagrees with the indiscriminate killing of civilians, especially Muslims.
In March, shadowy leader Abubakar Shekau appeared in a rare message looking dejected and frail.
Shekau, unseen on camera for more than a year, released an unverified video saying his time in charge of the Nigerian jihadist group may be coming to an end.

If the video did indeed depict Shekau, he appeared thin and listless, delivering his message without his trademark fiery rhetoric.
It prompted speculation from the army that the Islamist group was on the verge of collapse in the face of a sustained military counter-insurgency.
However, in another message, Boko Haram maintained it was a potent fighting force, with men holding AK-47s posing in front of Toyota Hilux pick-up trucks and a lorry mounted with a military cannon.
'You should know that there is no truce, there is no negotiations, there is no surrender,' an unidentified masked man in camouflage said in a prepared script in Hausa, the dominant language in the north, in the video posted on YouTube.

The video, of markedly better quality than Shekau's and including Arabic subtitles, featured nine masked Boko Haram fighters standing on sandy ground in an undisclosed desert location.
Shekau was still the head of the 'West African wing', said the masked speaker, likening Boko Haram to the Islamist insurgencies in Iraq, Libya and Syria.
In March 2015, Boko Haram pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group, another deadly terror organisation.
