Sahara Reporters just made me look foolish. 600years danu

The Armenian Government realised a statement saying they are ready for a cease fire.
They didn't do such in the last two conflicts.

Truth is always the first casualty of war, I've seen journalists claiming this is just cheap propaganda. It may be true or not but if Armenia wants ceasefire, they know who to go to.

A good read about the DSS recruitment saga.

Zullum got intellegence reports that he'll be attacked yet he went ahead and it cost the lives of over 30 people.
When you talk some ANALysts will be yapping and theorising how Zullum took and oath to defend his people and how his job is not for the faint hearted. I guess he isn't under any obligation to make decisions to protect the security agents and aides that dies whenever he refuses to heed to Intels report.
Those that died during the journey can't be brought back, and the mission wasn't even successful. Had he listened to the security reports people won't have died needlessly. Yes, a governor should be up and doing especially in a situation that bothers on humanitarian crises, but clearance from security agents is paramount, esp when it is well known that the enemy effectively make use of IEDs/Mine to lay ambush on convoys and these efforts doubled when they know a VIP/High value target is their potential prey.
My own is that Zullum should please listen to security advisories, I know military personnel won't be happy with him whenever he goes against their advise, these guys are professionals for heaven's sake. Some of us are beginning to think that the Gov. is doing this to court media attention.
Tomorrow he will go to Abuja and praise Buhari then return to blame the military and be calling the Chadians to come and fight for us.

"A coward dies many times before his death"

Consider what you have presented in the bold.

From the minute you leave the somewhat safe sanctuary of Maiduguri city Area.

Anchoring my deduction on the information insights given by SamuelAnyawu. We can deduce that you are going to be attacked, you just do not know when.

That's not INTELLIGENCE that's stating the simplistic obvious. If you are in the NE you ate going to be attacked.

Have we defended so low that Boko can tell us, we are going to attack and then we have to run.

Who is the hunter and who is the hunted here please. It's like armed robbers writing you a letter they are coming on a visit and you are unable to prepare a murderous welcome party for them. So you abandon your house and run away.

Boko give and put out threats every day, what is shocking, we don't seem to be able to do anything about it. We know we will attacked, so we should be ready, willing and capable to carry out OFFENSIVE action to mitigate against Boko not just REPEL or DEFEND.

lagusboyyy:
what happened to him please?

I just noticed i don't see his post again, i had to check his profile, last seen was 2018.

May his soul rest in perfect peace.

Redemption1:
he died that day he last logged in, Boko Haram killed him according to his wife

Gentleman and patriots the matter has gone completely out or control. Because we are DEFINITELY NO LONGER IN CONTROL.

Imagine the effrontery Boko will tell a sitting elected Governor you are not allowed to come to Baga and we have an Army.

There is a town called Magumeri which is one hour drive from Maiduguri on Gubio-Damasak road.

ISWAP has warned they don't want any Military FOB there. Any day the military deploys soldiers there ISWAP attacks same day. Over a year now Soldiers were deployed twice and were dislodged by ISWAP.

The town has become a major supply route for ISWAP to move stuffs from Magumeri to Gudzamala to Kukawa and Abadam so they can avoid Monguno axis.

Honestly, Nigerian army needs to invest in long range artillery. Talk about around 60km range. Magumeri is just 45km from Maiduguri, 2 weeks of shelling guided by UAVs will soften the town up but sadly our best artillery don't even have up to 30km range.

The Chadians are not better equipped than the Nigerian army, infact they're no where near us. The advantage they have over our military is that they have alot of experience in asymetric warfare than us, when it comes to conventional warfare they're a total wash out.
Chadians have being fighting insurgency for more than 30yrs, they understand the terrain better and their foot soldiers almost have same mentality as the terrorists they're fighting. Chadians don't mind using AA and other unconventional weapons on bokoharam/ISWAP against Geneva convention while our army tend to play by international rules because we have much at stake in the international community than Chad.
For me buying long range artilleries, AAs, SAMs etc is shouldn't be a priority our goal now should be focused on Intels gathering, achieving 24/7 surveillance over hotspots, buying proper fit for purpose vehicles (MRAPs, APC, IFVs) etc for moving troops and logistics, UAVs, UCAVs, Mine detectors, also we should invest in K9's.
I spoke to an SF guy stationed in the north east, he said the major problem they're facing is the fear of hitting IEDs, Bokoharam can't sustain a face off confrontation with the army, they hit you and retreat or lay ambush and seize weapons.
If we can overcome the issue of IEDs, and have a concatenated network of intels gathering we will achieve alot.
