You didn't take into account the follow-up action posted earlier. Army barracks were never attacked and countless BH fighters have died and continue to as a result of their injuries, that's why they desperately raided the hospital. It was reported that the APC was taken from the Police base and not from the Army.

Nigerian army launches air, land strikes on Boko Haram camps
0 Comment(s)Print E-mail Xinhua, October 31, 2013

The Nigerian army on Wednesday said it has commenced air and land strikes on Boko Haram camps in northeast remote villages along the Maiduguri-Damaturu highway.

Spokesman of the Army 7 Division in Borno State, Lt Col Mohammed Dole, told reporters that unlike before, the army division would now strike on Boko Haram camps so as to destabilize the insurgents from planning or executing any attack again.

"There is an on going operation around Benisheik, Kaga Local Government. Troops of the 7 Division supported by the Nigerian Air force, attacked and destroyed Boko Haram camps at Goho village in Mainok general area. Several terrorists were killed while others fled to another camps in Marguba, same Mainok area but the troops pursued them to the camp at Marguba which was also destroyed," he added.

The exact number of the insurgents that were killed in the offensive was not ready since the operation is still going, the spokesman said, promising to avail journalists with details of the operation as soon as it is completed.

"Several of them were killed while others also fled. Terrorists who escaped from the Marguba camp following troops strike on their camp, crossed the Maiduguri-Damaturu road at Benisheik heading north toward Gubio (North of Borno). Troops from 7 Division are still pursuing the terrorists. The operation is still going on," he said.

He appealed to residents not to panic especially with the movement of the fleeing insurgents toward the northern part of the state, saying troops in the area have been alerted about the development.

He also said the troops from the division were already pursuing the fleeing Boko Haram men.

Last Friday, the Nigerian military announced the killing of 95 Boko Haram fighters in Yobe and Borno States in operations against the insurgents, who were alleged to attempt coordinated attacks.

The Boko Haram sect has proved the biggest security threat in the West African country since launching the insurgency in 2009. Endi

The IRA was never able to lauch full scale raids of this natuer. The fact is regaudlse of the later retalastion nigriai sufferd a out right deaft here.

My qustion is where do you get your infomastion. There is a infomastion blank whole.


Fled? Really? We left has there was no longer a legal mandate to remain behind. We had a training mission with the old regiem the old regiem is gone so the training mission is now no longer in place. Reiforments were flown to ugander and DRC for if a counter attack was authrised. The french did not want a counter attack and they controled the airport. So we left.

When south africa left no one was shooting at them and we left at our own pace.




We all so fought seleka till they proposed a cease fire.

The folow on acstion is a diffrent battel. I did not say nigeria is losing the war. Just they lost this battel.

No it was a checkpoint and it failed in it's role since BH got a large force through it.


In the long run nigeria is winning thanks to attrsion. If BH numers were close to that of the JTF this would be a very fiffrent war. BH is should never of gotten this strong but there were faluers.

zaandrew:



Right wing extrmist groups are just that. Extrmists. Same hase american extmist miltia groups. They not a threat to any one. The boer mag attempted a take over but were foiled. They then spent 10 years on trial.

agaugust:

answer us in one word only, did south africa defeat tiny cuba in that bush war ? yes or no ? answer us

Mike..ZA:


Yes

zaandrew: You guys teally want to think that damtur was any thing but a loss? You guys lost and it was a big one. But you all live so far up in your littel fantasyland that you don't see it.


And yes BH doese not have numbers. Not the numbers of the goverment or even JTF


IRA was never a milltary threat. Killing a prim minster does not make you a milltary threat it would make you a assian. IRA used ambushes, mortas and bombings. Thgey did not act like BH and attack milltary basses in a direct attack. The fact BH even tries is a sighin they don't fear the milltary


And those right wing miltia groups in SA have been arround for years. Only one group has tried somthing since 1994. SA is better at mointoring what goes on in SA than even the USA. So those frindge groups are no more a threat than EFF or any other frindge group. Because if they try somthing they will be arrested tried and jailed. They all so know that.

NaijaPikinGidi:

AndrewZA please if you lack anything smart or factual to say I will suggest you just shut up and go cook dinner for your senior seafarer colleagues! I am on ground and know exactly what is going down with the runaway BH rascals! We are the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria!! We fight to delete the the last enemy standing!

zaandrew:


So you don't have a actual response to what I said? Only some smart has commint. Perhapse you should take your own advise.


And again with the chef insult. Firstly I am not a chef seconadly if you knew what chefs in the navy did you would be shocked.


It sunday let's see if BH attacks some where.

NaijaPikinGidi:

If I don't have an actual response ... what have you just responded to above? I have said here time and again that it is not my place to discuss internal or operational NA military information here especially when I work as a custodian of same! You are yet to see me offload dossiers of internal or operational information of your weak defence force with all the information available to us. Go through all my posts and you will see a clear pattern of interaction! I am on ground and know what is unfolding.

You seem quite keen on reading stories about BH attacks on soft targets? Why not visit the theatre to experience first hand action and a few bullets on your blockhead? It's time you go dish up food for your hungry seafarers! And don't forget to do the dishes!

rka1:

Of course they will attack. It seems we will have to keep repeating ourselves. It is an insurgency and will eventually be contained. As has been said, you don't see the constant bombings like we used to in urban areas( I am not saying they may not be able to sneak one in somewhere). They are now very desperate and desperate people do desperate things to appear relevant.

The Army would prefer they were attacked than innocent civilians so they can be assisted on their way to their 75 virgins.

Gradually, as the plan falls into place with men and surveillance equipment monitoring the borders, there will be nowhere to run. Only a few months gone and yes, mistakes were initially made by letting BH and their cohorts get a strong network in place before it is now being eventually dismantled. There is also a political angle to all this.

You dismissing the right wing extremists as nothing to worry about is exactly the same mistake we made.

Anyway, I am talking too much. Believe what you want to.

NaijaPikinGidi:

I have learnt over time how to engage with these SA fools. Enough said! Let them feed from the dirt and garbage heap. We can't keep repeating ourselves.

chris365:

i assure you it will happen soon. i talked about red october no south african challenged it, now please watch this video.

white extremists groups are springing uo and are arming up everyday and it's only a matter of time

souldust: @all at the turn of the last century when the air force was becoming a new arm of the military, how did it all start?

I believe it started off with all of its ranks in place and officers were already holding all ranks. The question is: how did the officers qualify to hold all those ranks since they are the founding fathers of the airforce.

sambos994: 800 pages?!

rka1:

The IRA ambushed British troops over and over again including attacking army bases in Northern Ireland. They were different from your standard Islamic nutcase as they didn't want to be identified and operated covertly so the comparisons are wrong anyway.

It is no longer the JTF but the Army 7th Division now in charge of operations, hence they tried to target the Police who are a softer touch because they are naturally not as heavily armed.

Do you think if the SANDF had to establish road blocks and patrol CAR in a certain AOR they would not suffer casualties?

Your engagement with Seleka rebels was just an introduction.
