Military Releases Videos Of Assault On Boko Haram In Sambisa Forest by theimmie(m): 6:59pm On May 06, 2015
Nigeria’s military has released videos of its ongoing
counter-terrorism operations to dislodge Boko Haram
terrorists inside the notorious Sambisa Forest.
The video showed the dexterity of Nigerian Air Force
pilots, as they taunt the terrorists, with hundreds of them
running helter-skelter and fleeing into different directions.
In another footage, vulnerable women and children were
seen cautiously and deliberately guided to safety by the
Nigerian pilots.
An officer involved in the operation, who requested not to
be named, said the essence of the operation was not to
kill everybody in sight
“The Air Force pilots deployed their skills in herding both
terrorists and their captives in different directions so that
those conscripted and abducted were guided to safety
zone while the armed terrorists met their waterloo,” the
officer said.
Since the Nigerian troops invaded the notorious forest,
they have rescued over 500 females. In the first daring
and precise operation, the troops rescued 293 women
and girls while many terrorists camps, including
Tokumbere, were destroyed.
In another operation on Thursday that involved Special
Forces, another set of 234 women and children were
rescued through the Kawuri and Konduga end of Sambisa
Forest.
The sustained operations deep into the Sambisa Forest is
being spearheaded by the Air Force through “tactical
aerial bombardments and guided reconnaissance,” with
the main objective of decimating and clearing the
terrorists from the forest which is their last bastion.
The spokesman for the military Dr. Chris Olukolade, said
that the troops would continue the Sambisa Forest
operations ‘until all terrorists’ enclaves are cleared’.
Since the operation commenced, several field
commanders and foot soldiers of the terrorist group have
lost their lives with some armoured personnel carriers,
vehicles mounted with Anti-Aircraft guns, and several
trucks also destroyed by the military.

Ha ha HERDING the terrorists with helicopter gunships. I love the imagery, because it brings to mind the skill of an English Sheep dog, which can be trained to separate specific members of the sheep herd that he controls.

The big difference of course is that the herding of terrorists with a helicopter is much more entertaining to watch than the herding of sheep by dogs, though it may not be such a thrill for those actually being herded together for the cull by strafing ha ha ha.

What a shame.
The mole flying that helicopter didn't even take a single shot at the terrorists! Tomorrow, they will call themselves "soldiers" defending Nigeria. It is only God that has continued to save Nigeria from Boko haram and their accomplices in our armed forces.

They video the herding phase of the operation and you are not happy, but I know why. You want to see muffukus gettin' blowed the ffuck up, but that might have to wait until the herding is complete and the innocent separated out. Personally I like to see the herding process, since I am a cowboy at heart ha ha, compete with a ten-gallon Stetson hat, doncha know.
