No, dude, you got it all wrong.

Bokos kidnapped Nigerian civilians close to lake Chad border line and immediately used speed boats to carry them across lake water border into Chad. On landing in Chad, they unluckily fell into the hands of well armed and mobile Chadian army special COIN units.

Boko was caught immobile without vehicles, caught by surprise, out-numbered by Chadian soldiers and defeated.

Did your Soweto military academy teach you to study a battle before you comment? No !

Intelligence is a luxury most South Africans cannot afford cheesy cheesy

Fact remains that Chad has done what you have yet to do

And you allowed them to escape

This guy tells us that Nigeria are coin specialists, but they still dont understand that holding land in COIN is not the point of COIN

Btw, COIN is outdated, its called 4th Generation Warfare

Fact remains, poachers cut off Rhino horns inside South Africa, transport them past your SANDF men and helicopters plus rangers on patrol and guard duty, cross border into Zimbabwe and sell your Rhino horns without South Africa sending army, air force, or rangers to stop them.

Point remains Poachers get away, happens all the time
.

1. AP duties are not SANDF responsibility
1a. We have only 120 men deployed in an area the size of Wales
2. We are better at protecting our Rhino than Nigeria is at protecting its people.
4. We have apprehended over 80 000 illigal immigrants on border duties - we can close our borders while you cannot

Which one is easier? Go ask mighty Israeli military how easy it was to find the real Hamas terrorists in Gaza.

We have 30,000 troops spread over land mass of North East Nigeria bigger than the whole of Great Britain.

We have Boko Haram that spies on any town or any military base dressed as women covered head to toe in Islamic dress called hijab, if you ever seen one hijab full regalia before.

How do you track them? They are civilians in day time and Boko haram at night.

Spread 30,000 men over Britain and ask them to police every street and see the result you get.

I don't care what countries your Kruger park poachers escape to, they keep doing it again and again.

They invade your country from Mozambique and you can do NOTHING about it.

South Africa deployed your 'highly photographed' Special Forces military with helicopters in support, yet animal hunters overrun South Africa, and your Gripen jet nation of submarines has to remove all Rhinos from their habitat because you are defeated by the Poachers.

"We've got one Intelligence Tactical Regiment from Potchefstroom, which specialises in intelligence gathering. Special Forces and 21 Battallion, both in the park and on the borders," says Colonel Bobelo. The ground troops are supported by helicopters for a speedy chase of poachers. "The helicopters contribute a lot in terms of identifying areas where poachers are operating," he adds. Colonel Says that it became increasingly important to rope in the army when syndicates began using helicopters, night vision equipment and high-powered rifles in their expedition. The army is part of the National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure."

SANDF special forces and 21 Battalion with air force support got defeated in ANC homeland republic...by bush animal hunters

1. We are winning the war on poachers - incidence of poaching is on the decrease

2. We have arrested some 1,172 poachers - how many BH have you got?

Points remain. Nigeria atcks BH. BH gets away, hapens all the time. Yoy keep letting them escap. BH atacks and rescues 100 hostages.
True,they stormed/attacked Damboa. BH simply retreated and captured Gwoza.

Strong indications have emerged that Nigeria’s neighbour, Cameroon, is not cooperating with the country in the efforts to stop the Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria and its borders.

Investigations on Friday revealed that the Cameroonian government had issued a directive to all its military commanders in charge of border areas with Nigeria to keep all critical information about Boko Haram away from Nigeria.

In the directive which was obtained by our correspondent, Cameroon’s Minister of Territorial Administration and Decentralisation, Mr. Rene Emmanuel Sadi, reportedly told the commanders to withhold crucial information about the insurgents from Nigeria.

The Nigerian military is in the process of constituting a trial panel to try over 100 soldiers said to have exhibited “acts of cowardice” and “disobeyed deployment directives” in Maiduguri on Saturday, reliable military insiders have told PREMIUM TIMES. The soldiers were among several hundred troops being deployed from the army’s 7th Division in Maiduguri to locations in Damboa and Gwoza for major operations planned to significantly rout the extremist Boko Haram sect from the areas. - See more at:

The Nigeria Army has made an unsuccessful attempt to re-claim Gwoza in Borno State from the extremist Boko Haram sect, residents and security sources say. The Nigerian Army 213 Battalion, Operation Task Force Mike and 234 Battalion, based in Mubi, Adamawa state, who engaged Boko Haram members in a fierce gun battle retreated and fled Gwoza town, the residents said. Gwoza has been in the hands of Boko Haram militants for three days now since they first invaded the town, killing over 100 civilians and soldiers. “The soldiers were reported to have been led into the battle by Lieutenant Bayedi Martins and Lt. Colonel Agu of the 234 Battalion, formerly Special Operations Battalion (SOB). They had to retreat when they ran into stiff resistance from the militants as they advanced on Gwoza from Madagali,” said a security source who pleaded anonymity, on Saturday. -

Every country has some mud here and there. Most of Angola is dry land as in SADC region. Dry land Namib desert in in Southern Angola.

The biggest part of Angola from north to south is dry desert and dry deciduous grassland....see proof.....
