TROOPS NEUTRALIZE ANOTHER FEMALE SUICIDE BOMBER AT YAMTAKE BORNO STATE

Yesterday at about 9.45pm a suspects female suicide bomber attempted to enter the military location in Yamtake, Gwoza Local Government Area, Borno State but a vigilant sentry on duty gunned her down and she died instantly.

The failed suicide bombing attack was followed up with futile probing attack by terrorists which was decisively dealt with by the troops.

The troops killed all the 4 attackers including 2 suicide bombers and recovered 2 AK-47, 3 Magazines, 109 rounds of 7.62mm (Special), 1 Torchlight, 1 Water bottle, 3 Magazine carrier, 1 Illuminator pyrotechnic and some quantity of drugs. Unfortunately, we lost a soldier in the process.

Thank you for your kind cooperation.

Kenya Withdrawals all Troops from South Sudan


Kenya has rejected the dismissal of Lt-Gen Johnson Ondieki as the Commander of the UN peacekeeping force in South Sudan and announced it was pulling out its contingent.

In a terse statement issued Wednesday evening, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs accused the UN of acting without discussions with Nairobi in sacking the commander who only took the job in May.

“The process leading to this unfortunate decision not only lacked transparency but did not involve any formal consultation with the Government of Kenya. This demonstrates complete disregard of our key role and responsibility in South Sudan,” the Ministry said in a statement.

An investigation

On Tuesday, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon sacked Lt-Gen Lt Gen Johnson Mogoa Kimani Ondieki as the Commander of the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) forces, after an investigation revealed he had failed to protect civilians during the violence in Juba in July.

But the Kenyan government disagreed, saying the responsibility to protect civilians could not be borne by an individual, given the complex nature of the conflict.

The decision irked Nairobi so much it has announced it will no longer contribute to South Sudan’s peace process and will be pulling out the 1,229 troops it sent to South Sudan under the UN, citing “disrespect” from the global agency.

A flexible position

Pulling out of the South Sudan peace process could be significant as Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta is the patron of the peace agreement signed last year between President Salva Kiir and Riek Machar. Indeed, most of the warring leaders live in Nairobi.

On Wednesday, it also emerged that a flexible position by South Sudan mediators to allow rebels to set their camp near a UN base in the country became the spark that cost the Kenyan commander his job.

But Lt-Gen Ondieki, who Wednesday travelled back to Nairobi to meet with President Kenyatta, may have been a victim of flawed structures both within the Mission itself and the power sharing arrangement that allowed Dr Machar to return to government.As reported by Aggrey Mutambo for The EastAfrican

Ugandan Missile Fabricator Wants to Join Army

A 28-year-old man in Hoima, who is fabricating a device similar to a missile, wants to join the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF).

Mr Anatoli Kiiza, a resident of Kiryangobe village in Kitoba Sub-county, told Daily Monitor that he wants to join a department in the army charged with manufacturing arms.

“When I first developed the idea, I wanted to operate independently but I have since realised that I can get more support and materials if I am part of the army,” Mr Kiiza said on Monday.

The army has expressed willingness to support him. The UPDF spokesperson, Lt Col Paddy Ankunda, said innovation for promotion of peace and stability was welcome.

“Through our office, we can look at what he is doing and support his work,” Lt Col Ankunda told Daily Monitor.

He said Mr Kiiza could go to UPDF offices where he can be guided to the relevant department.

Last week, Mr Kiiza asked government to authorise him to test his locally-made missile.

Mr Kiiza previously made attempts to fabricate a machine similar to a missile in June 2012 but police arrested him.

After undergoing numerous interrogations, he was released without being prosecuted

Mr Kiiza said despite being arrested seven times since 2012, he has never abandoned his weapon-making ambitions.

“I am patriotic. I wish to make a significant contribution to Uganda’s security through manufacturing weapons,” he said.

Mr Kiiza claimed to have researched on Internet how missiles are made in countries such as USA, China and North Korea.

He claims that Uganda can save money which it spends on buying weapons if innovative people like him are supported to manufacture weapons, adding that it should create an enabling environment for him to showcase his indigenous skills.

Mr Kiiza said his love for weapons manufacturing can be traced to his childhood when he assembled a homemade bomb which exploded and injured his right leg.

According to his mother, Ms Margret Biferamunda, Kiiza enrolled for education at Kitoba Primary School but dropped out of school before reaching P7.

However, Mr Kiiza claims he completed Senior Six at Nyamitanga SS in 2009.

Nigerian Defence Academy Gets First Indoor Shooting Range

Minister of Defence, Brigadier General Mansur Mohammed Dan Ali has commissioned the first-in-Africa Indoor Shooting Gallery Range for the training of cadets and other members of the armed forces.

The 300 metres Indoor Gallery Range, built by the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) at the academy permanent site, Kaduna, is designed with electronic and computerized features to train NDA cadets and other members of the armed forces in weapon handling.

Also commissioned were newly acquired 12 Hankook Training Vehicles and the newly introduced Faculty of Military Science building.

The minister described the gallery range as a monumental achievement by the NDA Commandant, saying mastering the skills and techniques in weaponry was essential to every military personnel, especially with Nigeria’s security challenges.

NDA Commandant, Major General Mohammed T. Ibrahim thanked President Muhammadu Buhari and the minister for their support for the academy to achieve greatness.

Rwanda Names French Officers Accused of Aiding Genocide in 1994

Rwanda has released a list of 22 senior French army officers it says knowingly aided the planning and execution of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsis.

The list released by the National Commission for the Fight Against Genocide (CNLG) is likely to escalate the tiff between Kigali and Paris, in the wake of the reopening of investigations by France into the shooting down of a plane carrying President Juvenal Habyarimana.

The move to revive the probe has angered Rwanda, which has threatened to sever diplomatic ties with Paris.

In a detailed report issued Monday, CNLG named 22 senior French officers who were operating in Rwanda at the time of the genocide and reportedly had a direct hand in the massacre.

CNLG further says the French military officers must be charged.

“French actors were involved in the genocide both as perpetrators and accomplices, and do not want their acts to be known despite their proofs.

“This is the biggest cause explaining the persistent refusal of the French authorities to validate the ballistic investigation by French experts in Rwanda in 2010 which indicated that missiles were fired from Kanombe military barracks,” the report says.

The French officers include Generals Jacques Lanxade, Christian Quesnot, Jean-Pierre Huchon, Jean-Claude Lafourcade; Colonels Gilbert Canovas, Jacques Rosier, Didier Tauzin, René Galinié and Bernard Cussac.

Others are Colonels Dominique Delort, Jacques Hogard, Jacques Rosier, Patrice Sartre, and Lieutenant Colonels Michel Robardey, Jean-Jacques Maurin and Eric De Stabenrath.

More officers include Captains Etienne Joubert, Paul Barril and Commanders Grégoire De Saint Quentin, Denis Roux and Marin Gillier, all of whom Kigali says there is enough evidence to show that French officers and politicians committed very serious crimes in Rwanda.

Rwanda and France continue to trade accusations over the events that led up to the genocide, with Kigali maintaining that the French, who were the main allies of President Habyarimana’s government, abetted the killings.

The two countries also disagree on who downed the plane, which is perceived to have triggered the killings. French judges in 2012 appeared to support the view that Hutu extremists downed the plane, seemingly settling the six-year diplomatic standoff.

An average conolel or its equivalent in Nigeria armed force his a big man of today. Now am not saying everybody is a saint, after all there is a popular that goes like these :" an average Nigerian is corrupt".

On the property which was ur basis that he his corrupt, was bought before he became the COAS. There other top military officers who are not chiefs of commanding officers who have property abroad !

To a very high degree, I can verge for the present serving chiefs. They are doing a fantastic job.

If you had experience of war in two countries you will understand two things in any war Leadership at the Apex level is a Maxim.
Also there are a lot of things that happen in a war that are kept quiet due to Security reasons.
1)From September to December 2015 virtually every weekend the COAS spent in the" hood "of bokoharam
the Soldiers knew it and so do Bokoharam who at least made one documented attempt on his life.This together with the phrase never again uttered by LT.GEN KTJ are key to boosting the morale of Nigerian Soldier.
You have an inherent weakness that is known to everyone on this thread and you honestly need to grow up a bullet does not distinguish between an APC or a PDP supporter .
This seems to be lost in your hatred for PMB and America , let it go, My Friends who fought in the North East for 17 straight months just wanted the right
weapons at the right time and honestly didn't give a dammn they just wanted to :
A) Survive
B) Have a President, NSA and a CDS who knew what the @##$$&&& they were doing
I questioned your integrity because most Soldiers who have done three or more Combat tours in a Twenty year career have a very different perspective
Lastly Nigeria is improving despite the dark cloud over YOUR head.The people responsible for raping Nigeria, Badeh, Amosun , Dasuki as the Lord lives will spend significant jail time continue to stew in your bitter juices.

I will praise the NAF Chief because he doesn't steal we have seen what the Contracts for the incoming Mishaps look like.He was appointed to his posts because the rest of the gang of thieves were dismissed a thought conveniently lost on you.
I will praise the Navy Chief because in the last quarter Nigeria experienced only one incident of piracy and he the Chief has taken a Hardline about piracy.He has encouraged indigenes of Nigeria to build Nigerian Warships that is why I praise him.
I don't spit on the ground because unlike you I was trained at home.

BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS ATTACK MILITARY LOCATION IN NORTHERN BORNO…lost a gallant officer

Yesterday at about 10.00pm suspected Boko Haram terrorists attacked a 119 Battalion Nigerian Army location at Mallam Fatori, northern Borno State. The troops fought gallantly and repelled the attack, killing 14 Boko Haram terrorists.

Unfortunately, we lost an officer and 4 soldiers, while 4 other soldiers sustained various degrees of injuries during the encounter. One of those killed in action, was Lieutenant Colonel Muhammad Abu Ali, the Commanding Officer of 272 Tank Battalion.

It will be recalled that because of the late senior officer’s exceptional bravery and gallantry, he was given an accelerated promotion from the rank of Major to Lieutenant Colonel and was decorated by the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General TY Buratai at Gamboru Ngala on 9th September 2015 during an operational visit.

So far, the troops have recovered 1 General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG), 7 AK-47 rifles and a large quantity of ammunition. Mopping up and exploitation are ongoing.

Thank you for your kind cooperation.

That was an assassination by BHT. The tank battalion CO was a pain to them in many ways. I just hope that NA can fill the void. Col. Ali famously drove T72 right into BHT enclaves with excellent tact.

Exactly why we need to keep documenting the battlefield exploits. We need to retrain and quickly expose young, fearless officers in order to be able to fill positions that such heroes as colonel Muhammed Ali left behind.

RIP to the fallen hero. You died for a good cause.
