Re: Boko Haram Kills 25 In Adamawa - CNN by Miaraka: 7:35pm On Jul 25, 2015
Boko Haram are cowards and terrorists who prey on innocent villagers. Let them engage the Nigerian army, man to man and leave civilians alone. May they rot in hell! Africa has to sort out this scum before they turn Nigeria into a Syria and spread their terror to the rest of the continent. Not suggesting that the ABC of Defeating Boko Haram is the panacea but I think it's worth every African's consideration. Please find it quoted bellow:
THE ABC OF DEFEATING BOKO HARAM
Asante Tsambo

Many people in Nigeria and around the world were celebrating when they heard, during the few months preceding the inauguration of President Buhari, that Boko Haram (BH) was on the retreat and the Nigerian defence and security forces were liberating territory and setting hostages free or enabling them to escape. They were under the impression that final victory was either around the corner or that BH had been hit so hard that it would not be able to regroup, try to harass the Nigerian armed forces and even carry out massacres of innocent civilians. The killing of about 500 Nigerians by BH in the past 39 days has shocked many. As Africans, we are profoundly saddened by BH's ruthless terrorist activities against civilians. We are also concerned that this is happening in our continent's biggest economy.

Africa needs a peaceful, prosperous and united Nigeria. Working together, Nigeria and SA could utilize their enormous potential to lead our continent's efforts to extricate itself from the quagmire of underdevelopment and internecine fratricidal conflict. It is for this reason that the AU, Nigerians and other Africans should consider the following:

1. That Cameroon, Central African Republic, Kenya, Nigeria, Mali, Somalia now form the Southern flank of the African frontline against terrorism. If these countries fall, Africa falls and the African agenda will become a pipe-dream. Therefore, all Africa must unite behind these countries and function as their rear base;

2. The African Union should launch an International campaign for the isolation of BH and all other Africa based terrorist organisations. This campaign should include the freezing of terrorist bank accounts and closure of their external supply lines. Countries which provide them with support should be exposed and boycotted. The declaration and or blacklisting of BH and others as terrorist or undesirable entities can never be sufficient;

3. Nigerians have to understand and accept the fact that, courtesy of BH, they now live in the African frontline against terrorism, the territorial integrity and unity of their nation are under threat, every Nigerian, could fall victim of a BH attack whether or not they live in the South South, South East or South West because terrorists CAN bomb targets in areas where they have no infrastructure. Apart from that, who said they will not have the appetite to move to the South once they have established themselves and feel comfortable in the North?

4. Nigeria must prepare itself for a protracted struggle. There will be no quick victory because BH is no longer a ragtag group. It enjoys international material and moral support and is part of a movement that seeks to build a caliphate, including several West, Central, East and North African countries;

5. The war against BH is 80% political and only 20% military. In other words, the Nigerian defence and security forces cannot defeat BH on their own. The government needs to mobilize the whole nation, explain the nature of the enemy and what role each Nigerian should play. In relation to the South which is the rear base, the North is the war front. The Southerners should be mobilized to inter Alia provide moral, spiritual and material support to the Northerners, especially the victims and the defence and security forces. The Northerners should be mobilized to provide to the defence and security forces all and any form of support they can afford, even a simple but genuine "No to BH Terrorism."

6. Nigerians and their organisations must unite across religious, tribal, regional and state lines. You need national cohesion, unity in action and all possible forms of partnerships among yourselves and between yourselves and other African nations, your natural allies;

7. The Government should embark on a campaign to win the hearts and minds of the people, not only through its declarations but its actions and the way the defence and security forces conduct the war. Now, more than ever before, it has to be seen that Nigeria cares. The Government and people of Nigeria cannot stem the tide of a terrorist tsunami or prevent the disintegration of their federal state, if they do not address social justice and law and order imperatives.

8. It is easier to fight an enemy that can be found in a specific area but more difficult to fight an enemy that is embedded or hiding or has friends among the masses. It is much easier to carry out a suicide bomb operation in a market place, church or shopping mall that is full of civilians than to engage the Nigerian defence and security forces directly. It seems like BH did not only retreat deeper into the forest and neighboring countries. Some of them appear to have run back home, to hide and regroup among the masses where in all probability, they have an effective network of cells and arms caches and certain aspects of the terrorist training and bomb-making could be taking place.

9. The massacres of so many people in such a short time is the negative consequence of the Nigerian forces' achievements in the Sambisa forest and former BH-held territories. On its own, It does not necessarily suggest that the Nigerian government does not know what it is doing, neither does it point a finger at its complicity. It certainly is one of the easiest things that terrorists can do.

10. Africa has sufficient local expertise and experience in conventional and guerrilla warfare, intelligence work and communication with our people. Nigeria should tap into this vast wealth of African expertise and experience. Our non African partners can assist with material, diplomatic and moral support for the victims of terror and our defence and security forces as well as the gathering of intelligence in terms of foreign support for the terrorists and the punishment of individuals, organisations and countries which harbor and support them.

May God save the north from bloodshed. The country can no longer give accurate accounts of number of people killed and property being destroyed by boko haram on daily basis again. Yesterday some communities were attacked, many killed and properties were destroyed without detailed news and publicity. Many are dying while the military keeps promising the final end of the terrorists

I think President Buhari should also focus on those who are part of the government and sponsoring boko haram

I thought buhari was in US to cement our friendship with the yankees now CNN is really trying to present Nigeria as a bad destination for foreign investments.

Buhari promised to end boko haram in 2 month seems to me it will take 4 years by then boko haram must have killed atleast 1Million souls.

Election is over time to work the miracles.

What was the reason why Buhari went to the U.S.A visit OBAMA ?? Terrorism was created by the U.S government, they supplied arms to ISIS & AL Qeada to fight their corrupt president but they used the arms in killing innocent people & fighting for islamic state.

When the U.S realized their mistakes, they went to Afghanistan & Iraq to fight the terrorists the sponsored, What happened to the AMERICAN ARMY ?? THEY WERE ALL KILLED & HUMILIATED. Obama had to withdraw his foolish troops.

What happened during Goodluck Jonathan's government ?? The U.S government refused to sell arms to Nigeria, but Russian sold to Nigeria & the Boko haram were eliminated.

And our president BUHARI went to visit the very president that refused to help us thinking they can fight Boko Haram, i promise you if the American Army eventually comes to Nigeria to Fight Boko Haram they will all be killed, The U.S ARMY IS VERY WEAK

Post of the thread....
American soldiers are not suited for ground fight.. The america army is best suited in dropping bombs on their targets afterwards running back to their florida military base...

The yankees have never defeated terrorism in their existence so they cant help us... You cant give what you dont have....

HARD TRUTH 2: THIS IS HOW FAR WE HAVE COME, HENCE DON'T ALLOW YOUR QUEST FOR POWER BRING DOWN THE HOUSE YOU WILL LIVE IN TOMORROW.

Olutoyosi Omotoso Wrote.....

Few years back, In the heat of our politicking, some opposition politicians in APC (one of them is a Governor now) were sending false information to the international community about the Nigerian army.

They sent videos of Boko Haram members wearing army uniforms and beheading innocent civilians and the they claimed they were members of the Nigeria armed forces killing innocent civilians. They sent some to amnesty international, thinking they were fighting Jonathan.

Some youths in Yobe beheaded an innocent operative of DSS while those of Bornu were wearing t-shirts with inscriptions like "I love Boko haram". They refused to support the military, they were supporting their brothers. The northern elites weren't left out as they openly and covertly gave support to boko haram thinking it will further their desire to take back the presidency.

Jonathan was confused but tried to be calm.

The Bornu elders brought all sort of charges against the military and Ihejirika while they were shielding boko haram and in fact a leading northern leader once said killing boko haram fighters was injustice to the North.

Petitions fell upon petitions at Amnesty international from the Northern elements. To them, they were doing politics. Jonathan must go and it doesn't matter how we do it, power must just return to the North.

Our military was accused of human rights abuses by Amnesty International while boko haram continues to unleash terror. The military lost credibility and some of our army chiefs were threatened with prosecutions of war crime while no one asks Shekau why he is killing.

United States and her allies were compelled by a particular Leahy law not to sell sophisticated weapons to militaries with human rights abuse tags like the current Nigerian army.
All efforts by the Jonathan administration to lobby US and UK governments to sell weapons to Nigerian military fell on deaf ears while boko haram continued its killing spree in the face of our poorly armed military.

And Jonathan looked eastwards after the south African mess (also courtesy opposition politicians) and found help in China, Parkistan and Russia. But time was against him. The elections are close, the deed is done. The clueless, weak and corrupt tag stuck on him. He was labelled a failure for not being able to protect his citizens. That's politics.

He got the weapons, shifted elections by six weeks amidst all sort of mischievous allegations and the military found its rhythm and in six weeks, boko haram fell and it's armies were chased tail in legs out of sambisa forest.

And he lost the elections despite that.

Now, those who destroyed the Nigerian military in the name of politics have taken over the government. Boko haram is back in full force and those who promised to lead from the front are no where to be found.

Boko haram have been able to regroup and now controls five local governments again and our press who were very active in spreading boko haram gospel back then are suddenly quiet. It was all about Jonathan before now.

The citizens now watch helplessly as the killings continue and those who have the courage to ask questions are labelled as unpatriotic by the idol worshippers who worship men like gods.
The APC led government delegation was in America but to the surprise of some, America bluntly refused to go into arms deal with Nigeria. Those who blackmailed the Nigerian army and accused them of human rights abuses are now the ones begging US to sell arms to them.

And like I wrote yesterday that "Those who intend to live in glass houses should not throw stones while they are still living in mud houses because karma is a bitch, she respects no one"!

~ Adb Festus (1872)

This is so true, I wonder what those guys where thinking because of power.

Just wondering how we'll get out of this mess

How does any of that make 25 dead people okay?...you all have refused to answer that...since the original premise is that the dead are a consequence of buhari being elected into office...even still,is it not on behalf of anti-terrorism support that he(the president) is outside the country? undecided
