Boko Haram Invades Borno Again, But This Time Our Soldiers Give Them Fireforfire by nairaclass: 2:32pm On Sep 01, 2014 |
After the embarrassment of the “Tactical Manoeuvre” that landed our soldiers at the mercy of Cameroon men, the military authority seems to have change strategy and the move appears to be working. Several Boko Haram members early Monday morning invaded Bama, the second largest city in Borno state with the aim of taking over the town as usual, but things were not the same any more as those in the area said Nigerian soldiers in city resisted the terrorists, leading to a serious fire fight. Several people, including the Emir of Bama, have already fled to the state capital Maiduguri to avoid being caught in the crossfire. Eyewitnesses told Sahara Reporters that Boko Haram terrorists arrived the vicinity of Bama on Monday and began firing mortars, RPGs and hurling grenades into the city, to cause fear and panic. But they met stiff resistance from the soldiers. The battle was still raging as at 12noon on Monday. Bama is a strategic city with over 500,000 inhabitants. If Boko Haram captures Bama with all the military hardware in the city, then it just a matter of days before they capture Maiduguri. The state capital is less than 40 miles from Bama.

Now that Boko Haram has released their men to Bama to over run the town and take over,I believe another battalion of troops should be sent to Gworza right now to attack whoever they left behind. The surprise element will work in their favour. Also,now that these Boko haram has relocated from sambisa forest to gworza and the neighbouring villages,over-running these towns will easily see to the release of the chibok girls;atleast they are no more in the forests. Meanwhile,what is the air force doing in this whole fight? I haven't heard of any air raid or even shelling of any boko haram camp, yet when the president calls for a security council meeting,they will show up. I don't understand how these insurgents will travel for hours on the road to settle in their 'conquered' villages,making themselves easy prey for an airstrike,yet nothing is heard from the airforce. They should be the ones leading the attack by air while the artillery and infant battalions(combatant foot soliders) take strategic positions for those who might be fleeing from the shelling. |

Its sad our soldiers have taken a defensive approach to this war , they keep being satified repelling boko haram attack when will the go and attck boko haram so boko can also try to repel.. Like U said immediately Boko haram move for Bama they should have used another unit to move in on Gwoza |

It looks like the resources in the isolated (forest) areas can no longer sustain BH. Either they have exhausted local resources or thier numbers have swollen such that they need more (food) resources to sustain their men. Strategy Strategy Strategy. |
