BOKO Haram: Wondering How Boko Haram Were Being Gradually Wiped Out by unphilaz(m): 3:23pm On May 12, 2015
Of recent, before the election proper, with some videos sparsely showing nigeria triumph over the boko haram. I was not impressed the least until i read here how boko haram was routed. Hope it gives a better view of what really happened out there.



Barlow said the initial plan was to train a team to free the schoolgirls. However, as Boko Haram continued to massacre hundreds in village raids, the plan turned to schooling Nigeria’s largely traditional army in “unconventional mobile warfare.” The key was “relentless pursuit,” which involved mimicking Boko Haram’s hit-and-run tactics with non-stop assaults. Once the insurgents were on the run and their likely route established, members of the strike force would be helicoptered ahead of them to cut off escape routes.

STTEP used bush trackers to work out where their enemies were going, an art that proved vital in Boko Haram’s forest hideouts. “Good trackers can tell the age of a track as well as indicate if the enemy is carrying heavy loads, the types of weapons he has,” said Barlow.

No wonder this really decimated boko boys lol.

I think this tactics should be used to trail all this deranged "fulani" killing innocent people in the night
