US Resumes Training Of Nigerian Troops For Anti-terror War by LRNZH(m): 5:17pm On Feb 12, 2016


Fourteen months after a U.S. army-led combat training for Nigerian soldiers was aborted, American authorities have announced a resumption of the programme.

The American Assistant Secretary of State for Africa, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, said, Tuesday, that the training would resume this February.
Speaking on U.S. strategy against Boko Haram at a meeting in Washington DC, Ms. Thomas-Greenfield said U.S. expects would “inaugurate the first round of training for an infantry battalion later this month.”

The resumed training program is part of a broad U.S. strategy against the terror group and, part of the new deal the Obama administration entered with President Muhammadu Buhari during his official trip to America last July.
“Our counter Boko Haram Strategy is an integrated, interagency effort to help Nigeria and its neighbors in their fight to degrade and ultimately to defeat Boko Haram”, said Ms. Thomas-Greenfield adding that the Obama administration engaged Mr. Buhari’s military leadership “to draw up a range of new and continued security assistance”.

“We have stepped up information-sharing efforts, we are jointly evaluating new efforts to counter improvised explosive devices, developing better tools to assess harm to civilians, and assess the potential for U.S. advisory assistance”, the Assistant Secretary of State said.

One of the reasons the Jonathan administration gave for terminating the previous U.S. training program in December 2014 was America’s reluctance to share real-time intelligence with the Nigerian military and refusal to sell Cobra helicopters to Nigeria.

They refused sharing intelligence with the Nigerian Army because just like in the case of ISIS, U.S is Boko Haram & Boko Haram is U.S.

Its activities are being coordinated from the US Secret Military base in Chad. Now that Boko Haram has been technically defeated, they're resuming their useless training of our troops anti-terror war.

Just like how they're now calling for “cease fire” in Syria after their moderate liver-eating vampires have all been annihilated by the Russian Death Machines. grin

Guess what my son (Vladimirovich Putin) told them? He said “cessation of hostilities” will start by 1st of March, 2016. grin

You know Y? By March 1st, the only thing that will be left of all the western backed terrorists (i.e ISIS & the rest) will be their burnt corpses & rifles. grin

If America and her allies are not obliterated off the face of earth by the Russian Topol-M, then I'm sorry, the world will continue to wallow in proxy terrorist wars, anarchy, hunger, poverty, genetically manufactured diseases & death.

Wailing wailers will soon quote me.


They would still be angry at this news. They are programmed to be angry at everything.

Misery is all they see, misery is all they dwell in, misery is all they embrace. Bitterness keep them breathing, take it away from them and see them wilt like vegetables planted in Sahara desert.

Slowly but surely, we will get there.

God bless Nigeria.

I think they terminated the operation and training last year because there was no credibility in Nigeria government.
