Bauchi - Nigerian forces backed by warplanes
invaded Islamist group Boko Haram's last known
stronghold, the Sambisa forest, on Wednesday, in
an effort to finally defeat their six-year-old
insurgency, two military sources said.
Armies from Nigeria and neighbours Chad, Niger
and Cameroon have in the past two months
launched a concerted push to try to crush the
insurgents, who have killed thousands and
kidnapped hundreds in their battle to establish an
Islamic state.
The Sambisa forest in northeast Nigeria is about
100 km (60 miles) from the village of Chibok from
where Boko Haram abducted more than 200
secondary school girls a year ago. Intelligence
officials had believed that this was where they were
being held, although U.S. reconnaissance drones
failed to find them.
A spokesman for the military was not immediately
available for comment.
An official in the Chadian army said allied Chadian
and Cameroonian troops were ready to attack
Sambisa, which lies on the Cameroon border, from
the other side and would move in soon.
The militants controlled an area the size of Belgium
at the start of the year, but have since lost much of
that ground.
Yet they remain a deadly threat to civilians, as
illustrated on Friday when they slit the throats of 12
people in northeast Nigeria as the army was trying
to evacuate the area around the former Boko
Haram headquarters of Gwoza.
Failure to crush Boko Haram or protect civilians
was one reason President Goodluck Jonathan lost
an election on March 28 to Muhammadu Buhari, who
has pledged to spare no effort in battling the
militants after he is sworn in on May 29.
Buhari also said he would do everything possible to
rescue the Chibok girls, but could not promise to
find them.

Even if they dont find the girls, their efforts are not in vain. At least eliminating BH from Nigerian territory is a total victory.
