Boko Haram change name

Islamist sect Boko Haram published new images in which members now call their organization ''the West African Province of the Organization of the Islamic State''.
In the photos published on their social networks, insurgents celebrate, such martyrs fighters who were killed.
In march, islamist sect pledged allegiance to the organization of the Islamic State.
This change of denomination comes at a time when the nigerian army continues operations to recover the cities under the control of Boko Haram. For some observers, it's the proof that the islamist organization is getting weaker. But support of an international islamist organization, could lead to a change in their tactics and a new way of operating.
