Mapping Boko Haram’s decline in Nigeria

Since launching a counter-attack against Boko Haram in January, the Nigerian army and some 8,700 allied troops have systemically contained the Islamist fighting force.

Nearly 700 girls and women were freed this past week during the push to confine the group in the Sambisa Forest. Some of those freed described Boko Haram soldiers as dispirited and in disarray, lacking guns, ammunition and working vehicles, and openly criticizing their leadership while speaking of desertion.

It has been over a year since the Islamist terrorist organization Boko Haram kidnapped 276 girls from their school in Chibok, prompting world-wide outrage under the #BringBackOurGirls hashtag. More than 200 of those girls are still missing, among the more than 2,000 girls and women that Amnesty International says were taken by the Islamist group since the beginning of last year. UNICEF believes the 1.5 million people displaced by the fighting in northeastern Nigeria includes 800,000 children.

Army Deals Another Blow To Boko Haram
Gallant men of the Nigerian army have recorded another feat against Boko Harm terrorists after killing an unspecified number the insurgents in a gun duel on Sunday, May 3.
According to Punch, the gun battle ensued when soldiers who were on their way to Sambisa Forest to reinforce military presence in the Boko Harm strong hold repelled an ambush by the insurgents.
According to reports, the troops from 81 Battalion of the Nigerians Army, Ibadan, were ordered to move from their location in Sector 8, Maiduguri, when they ran into the ambush. A source in the military who confirmed the attack said a soldier died while three others were injured during the gun battle. He said: The terrorists attacked our men but they were repelled. I can’t give the exact number of those killed but I can tell you that many of the terrorists were killed. “On the side of the military, we lost one soldier. The three other injured soldiers have been rushed to the hospital in Maiduguri where they are being treated.” Speaking on the incident, the Director, Defence Information, Maj. Gen. Chris Olukolade, neither confirmed nor denied the attack. He however explained that some Boko Haram fighters who are trying to escape the ongoing military onslaught might want to carry out some mischievous acts which the military had the capacity to respond to in a decisive manner.

With so many pictures published that show the desert terrain where the Boko Haram war is now winding down, it is easy to forget that many key skirmishes of the war were carried out aboard speedboats racing across the expansive waters of Lake Chad, engaging similarly armed enemy forces deployed in water craft, and also holed up in ambush fortifications located on remote islands overgrown with water reeds.

The Boko Haram war has indeed been a multidimensional conflict waged on the ground, on the water, and in the sky, where recently acquired federal helicopter gunships are FINALLY lending much needed air-support for ground troops now moving into the mopping-up phases of a war that nearly got out of hand for a while there.

Good job Bidexxi, of bringing these historic shots to the forum for us to see.

SAND WAR. "1963"

Result; Military stalemate The closing of the border south of Figuig,
Morocco/Béni Ounif, Algeria.
Morocco abandoned its intentions to control
Bechar and Tindouf after OUA mediation.
No territorial changes were made.

Belligerents
Morocco, france and United states
Algeria,Cuba and United arab republic.

Casualties and Loses
Morocco; 39 killed, 57 prisoners
Algeria ; 300 killed, 379 prisoners.

The Sand War or Sands War occurred along the Algerian-
Moroccan border in October 1963, and was a Moroccan
attempt to claim the Tindouf and the Béchar areas that
France had annexed to French Algeria a few decades earlier.
Background
Three factors contributed to the outbreak of this conflict: the
absence of a precise delineation of the border between
Algeria and Morocco, the discovery of important mineral
resources in the disputed area, and the Moroccan
irredentism fueled by the Greater Morocco ideology of
the Istiqlal Party and Allal al-Fassi.

Before French colonization of the region in the nineteenth
century, part of south and west Algeria were under
Moroccan influence and no border was defined. In the
Treaty of Lalla Maghnia (March 18, 1845), which set the
border between French Algeria and Morocco, it is stipulated
that "a territory without water is uninhabitable and its
boundaries are superfluous" the border is delineated
over only 165 km.[7] Beyond that there is only one border
area, without limit, punctuated by tribal territories attached
to Morocco or Algeria.
In the 1890s, the French administration and military called
for the annexation of the Touat, the Gourara and the
Tidikelt, a complex that had been part of the Moroccan
Empire for many centuries prior to the arrival of the French
in Algeria.
An armed conflict opposed French 19th Corps Oran and
Algiers divisions to the Aït Khabbash, a fraction of the Aït
Ounbgui khams of the Aït Atta confederation. The conflict
ended by the annexation of the Touat-Gourara-Tidikelt
complex by France in 1901.
After Morocco became a French protectorate in 1912, the
French administration set borders between the two
territories, but these tracks were often misidentified (Varnier line in 1912, Trinquet line in 1938), and varied from one map to another,since for the French administration
these were not international borders and the area was
virtually uninhabited. The discovery of large deposits of
oil and minerals (iron, manganese) in the region led France
to define more precisely the territories, and in 1952 the
French decided to integrate Tindouf and Colomb-Bechar to
the French departments of Algeria.
The last bloody years of the FLN's rebellion had been fought
essentially to prevent France from splitting the Sahara
regions from the emerging Algerian state, and thus neither
Ben Bella nor the rest of the wartime FLN were inclined to
give them up to Morocco when independence was achieved.
The Algerians therefore did not recognize Morocco's
historical or political claims of Greater Morocco that
includes Bechar and Tindouf Province. Instead, they
perceived the Moroccan demands as an attempt to infringe
the country's hard-won independence and pressure it when
it was at its weakest. Algeria was still reeling from the
enormous damage caused by the Algerian War, and the
government scarcely held control over its entire territory:
significantly, a Berber anti-FLN rebellion under the
leadership of Hocine Aït Ahmed had recently flared up in the Kabyle mountains. Tension escalated as neither side wanted to back down.

War; Skirmishes along the border eventually escalated into a full-
blown confrontation, with intense fighting around the oasis
towns of Tindouf and Figuig. The Algerian army, recently
formed from the guerrilla ranks of the FLN's Armée de
Libération Nationale (ALN) was still geared towards
asymmetric warfare, and had little heavy equipment.
They were still battle-ready and had tens of thousands of
experienced veterans, and strengthening the armed forces
had been a top priority for the military-dominated post-war
government. On the other hand, while the modern, western-
equipped Moroccan army (France was the bigger arms seller to Morocco at that time) was superior on the battlefield,it did not manage to penetrate into Algeria. The
Algerians had counted on hit-and-run attacks as their main
strategy, but the Moroccans managed to counter this
approach. The Moroccans built fortified Sand Walls. These
Sand Walls had land mines and electronic warning systems,
as well as strong defenses placed by the Moroccan troops.
The tactic was later used in the Western Sahara War. The war reached a stalemate and after the intervention of the
Organization of African Unity (OAU) and the Arab League, it
was broken off after approximately three weeks. The OAU
eventually managed to arrange a formal cease-fire on
February 20, 1964. A peace agreement was then reached
after Arab League mediation, and a demilitarized zone
instituted but hostilities simmered.

Results;
The Sand War laid the foundations for a lasting and often
intensely hostile rivalry between Morocco and Algeria,
exacerbated by the differences in political outlook between
the conservative Moroccan monarchy and the revolutionary, Arab nationalist Algerian military government. Final border demarcation in the Tindouf area was not reached until many years later, in a negotiation process stretching from 1969 to 1972, with Algeria offering Morocco shares in the iron ore earnings from Tindouf for recognition of its borders.
The governments of both Morocco and Algeria used the war
to describe opposition movements as unpatriotic. The
Moroccan UNFP and the Algerian-Berber FFS of Aït Ahmed
both suffered as a result of this. In the case of UNFP, its
leader, Mehdi Ben Barka, sided with Algeria, and was
sentenced to death in absentia as a result. In Algeria, the
armed rebellion of the FFS in Kabylie fizzled out, as
commanders defected to join the national forces against
Morocco.
The rivalry between Morocco and Algeria exemplified in the
Sand war also influenced Algeria's policy regarding the
conflict in Western Sahara, with Algeria backing an
independence-minded Sahrawi guerrilla organization, the
Polisario Front, partly to curb Moroccan expansionism in the wake of the attempt to annex Tindouf.

Nigerian Army recover video recordings from Boko Haram

As terrorists continue to scamper following relentless pursuit by Nigerian troops, they have often left sensitive materials including arms, ammunitions, ICT gadgets and video recordings behind.

PRNigeria gathered that many of the video materials captured by the troops are currently being analysed by military experts.

Some of the videos included recording of scenes of trials, beheadings, executions, stoning, floggings and those taken during preparations for suicide attacks.

A military source informed PRNigeria that capturing such recordings was another major feat in the battle against insurgency as it was a tool used to really terrify mostly civilian population and cow them into submission.

The source added that “Some of the video were meant for release through their normal channels to the public before they were dislodged from their camps. They also show the barbaric life in their so-called caliphate”

“The media and the public are advised to be careful in handling or sharing sensitive and offensive videos depicting atrocities that some viewers may find disturbing,” the concluded.

Since they invaded Sambisa Forest a few weeks ago, Nigerian troops have liberated about 1,000 women and children from the various terrorists camps already dismantled.

There have been tales of woes and great distress from many of those rescued from the terrorists about their reign of terror and lately of despondency within the ranks of the insurgents.

When contacted on the discovery of video recordings, the Director Defence Information, Major General Chris Olukolade said “A number of vital materials, apart from arms and ammunition, have been recovered which are being subjected to intelligent analyses. We don’t want to say much about that now.”

That is the first picture I have seen of a straight up battle tank of ANY vintage, fielded by the Boko Haram terror group. The fuel logistics chain alone, that would be required to run such a massive piece of machinery in a war, means Boko Haram are very well financed indeed, by that shadowy cartel of very greedy individuals who evidently harbor ambitions to conquer and annex Nigerian territory, by force of arms. A battle tank is rarely seen in use by a guerilla fighting force, and is far more frequently used by conventional mechanized infantry units funded by state treasuries.

Anyway, without digressing into political considerations, it is now safe to assume that the Boko Haram tanks, "technical" pickup trucks, re-supply helicopters, and APCs will all soon be removed from service and once again placed on the international arms market, as the Boko Haram leaders proceed to metamorphose from genocidal slave-trading terrorists, into " stake-holders" eagerly ready to partake of Nigeria's oil wealth, thanks to the wonders of modern democracy.

That is some impressive machinery for sure. Boko Haram may have started out as a rag-tag gang of gunmen, but the monster grew into a well-equipped, heavily armed, conventional army fully capable of taking and holding cities in modern Africa. These are very sobering pictures. Once can only HOPE that the backers who created Boko Haram will now allow the organization to die a natural death, given that the political objectives that inspired its creation have been largely met, at the federal level in Nigeria.
