BREAKING NEWS ; Nigerian Army Retakes Baga Town From Boko Haram. BBC. by PhockPhockMan: 8:28pm On Feb 21, 2015
The Nigerian army has retaken the north-eastern town of Baga, held by Boko Haram militants since 3 January.
In a tweet from its official account, the army said that "mopping up" operations were continuing.
It also claimed in a separate statement that it had killed many Boko Haram militants, though this has not been independently verified.
Nigeria says 150 people died when Boko Haram took Baga and nearby Doron Baga, but locals said up to 2,000 died.
Residents were left largely undefended as the military deserted when the jihadists attacked the towns.

This time, the army claims it was the militants who fled, with some drowning in Lake Chad as they tried to escape the aerial bombardment.
It added that 1,000 mines had been laid in Baga, which soldiers had to negotiate before entering.
The BBC's Will Ross in the Nigerian capital, Abuja, say other sources have confirmed that Boko Haram no longer control Baga.
The massacre there is regarded as the worst attack of Boko Haram's six-year insurgency. Thousands fled across Lake Chad when the assault began and have since taken refuge in Chad.
Chadian push-back
Boko Haram, which controls of much of Nigeria's north-east, has killed thousands of people in its drive to establish an Islamic state.
In recent months it has also carried out cross-border raids in neighbouring Chad, Cameroon and Niger, attacking villages and military bases.
All three countries have joined Nigeria to form a military coalition against the Islamist militants.
Also on Saturday, Niger's army reported the deaths of 15 Boko Haram militants following clashes in an island on the Niger side of Lake Chad.
Seven Niger soldiers and one civilian also died in the attack.

Islam is not really a religion of peace. There is actually a veilled spirit behind it. Why is it that those who embrace it fully develop this murderous tendency?
I tell people that daily we see people abuse christianity,abuse the pastors and men of God and some even go as far as abusing Christ himself. But you don't see christians take up arms nor develop the urge to deal with the person. Why? Because we know we serve a God that can punish whosoever at His own time and way.
Please,(in the words of bovi in Diamond bank ad) if your god can't fight for himself and require you to be the one to take up arms to kill others to defend it,then you need a new god.

In 2015, Boko Haram was helping APC campaign

In 2018, Boko Haram is helping PDP campaign

In 2015 and 2018, soldiers and the people of Baga are the ones suffering and dying, not the PDP or APC politicians

Who lost the areas in the first place? You're more interested in playing politics with the matter with not a single thought for the soldiers and the civilians wasted there!! Do you know almost 2,000 were massacred in Baga in 2015 after Boko Haram took it? Did you not call Amnesty liars for reporting it then?

You condemned all this in 2015. What's happening now? Why are you suddenly dumb?

So all the noise in 2015 was all because it wasn't your man in power? you don't care sad if a thousand Nigerians are killed as long as it's your man in power.

You umualaabyss are just pathetic. angry

If you could think, you'd have notice my first post used in resurrecting the thread. It was to condemn it that i resurrected the thread even though i knew you soulless wawa potorpotor jews would come self-service on it

You're hopeless.

You still don't get the import of my first post below?

GEJ lost it, PMB lost it. Where are both of them? are they or any of their family members dead yet?

Now what about the Baga people who died in 2015 and those who died in 2018? Are they just pawns in your political games?
