Says ability of bokoharam to conduct conventional war has been defeated. The question here is has bokoharam ever carried out conventional war in their attack since inception?
Its like someone is confused as to differentiate between gorrilla and conventional warfare. Go school you no gree.

When a armed militia take over 10 LGA and occupy it outrightly, without guerrilla formations it becomes very conventional.

There was a time BH were not afraid to drive through streets in NE and be visible.

BishopJuice:


A conventional war involves regular conventional armed forces representing nation states!

Is boko haram a conventional force?

The answer is NO!

That is wrong, a conventional war involves the use of armed formations to overcome the opponent, as opposed to ambushes, guerilla warfare , hit and run manoeuvres.

BishopJuice:


My friend go and sit down.

Do they have a military hierarchy that is officers and NCO cadre?

Conventional wars follow laid down UN conventions.

Is boko signatory to any UN convention or article?

Yeye

They actually have an hierarchy of generals and officers

And warfare has in modern times ignored UN conventions because if they were to follow it there would be no warz eg UN did not sanctions the gulf war, 6 day War, Iraq War , Georgia War, Ukraine dabacle. I can continue counting many military tussles the UN did not sanction.

Many countries are not signatories to important UN conventions if it undermines their positions an example includes uSA who are not signatories to the anti-chemical warfare pact.
