The Ethiopian army (ENDF) is facing heavy loses in the battles with the Tigray Defense Forces (TDF)

Today, they have lost a C-130H military transport plane after it had been shot down by MANPAD

Few days earlier, hundreds of the ENDF personnel were captured/killed by the TDF.

Like the fool says, "Sense is priceless"

Now this fool is now comparing individuals who aren't kids, some are over 16, who made a conscious decision to go overseas and join terror networks, to a poor kid in Nigeria who probably never had a choice in what he was made to do or people he was forced to associate with? or how he ended up there.
You are right, sense is indeed priceless, and yours is faulty.

Give that boy a choice btw living in the forest with bunch of terrorists or live with a loving family, which one do you think he'd choose? What an idiotic comparison.

Do me a favor dude, quit quoting me, get a life and stop reviving old posts

Missed them mate.
Both the Belarus and northeast Europe are still functioning, I know more of the Pakistani trained AFSF in the N.E theatre.

Seems a Nigerian Army base was overrun 6km from the NAF base Maiduguri.
ISWAP is using envelopment tactics. Soon Maiduguri might be cut off(Godforbid). It will be disastrous. Our supply lines are not even secured. We don't have enough resources to defend the city in that scenario. We need to act fast

Then we had better find resources same place ISWAP will find enough to cut off an entire city in the hope of holding it.

Seen that some of the guntrucks were not moved from where they were parked, it shows the soldiers didn't even bother to fight back.

Read its almajiri base. The equipment were neatly captured yet no reported casualties on the army side. The base was abandoned. About 6 gun trucks and 1 Ezegwu MRAP captured.
The attack must have been so fast that NAF wasn't able to provide support or hunt the terrorists as they withdrew.

cutievik:




I don't know what to talk about again...Too many lapses, the most common, when you pass check points and see the vehicles with machine guns unmanned, you begin to imagine, if this guy's on stop and search come under attack certainly, the vehicles are gone because they would be abandoned with such cache of weapons.

The painful ones are the APC's left lying fallow outside barracks or police stations unmanned, the believe a parked unmanned vehicle is a deterrent...hahahah, Nigeria too like eyeservice sha, so if I hardened criminal Unknown Gunmen see parked APC them go run? we all saw a video recently in imo state where the new MRAP that was delivered was patrolling on the road without a gunner, in Imo state ooo!, Where wahala dey..

My guy, these issue deeep

Yes it’s a camp in Chabbal area not too far from Kasuwa Fara. Chabbal is in Maiduguri gate area coming from Gubio.

The Military might have withdrawn so fast. The Military really needs to improve on its situational awareness.

Even as a Humanitarian dude I tour the community in the morning before I approve colleagues movement and tour at nights even when I know there are no attacks.

Whyem15:
This war is in it's last phase(could still last for decades though) attacks are becoming less frequent and on soft/small targets, the terrorists are nearly out of options and are desperate trying to maintain strength by looting weapons and equipment from small military bases. The last time they attacked brigade or battalion sized forces was end of April/very early in May. They have opened up another front by attacking each other. This isn't the time for the military to slack.

DubaiLandLord:
If you believe it could still last for decades, then is not in is last phase, anything can still happen. They can still attack a brigade or battalion sized forces when they are ready to do so, I will remind you of this when they do so.

Stop thinking on behalf of ISWAP , I'm sure you never saw them attacking Boko Haram and even killing Shekarau in just a single operation(What the Nigerian military and paramilitary have not been able to do since 2009).

Whyem15:



They won't just vanish into thin air, they will keep getting weaker and sometimes get divided for several months until it joining isn't attractive anymore. This will happen naturally and government actions can accelerate it. Yes they could get stronger at any point but it would only be temporary. And yes they may yet attack brigade/battalion sized forces but it will never be as frequent as it used to.
