Sir RELOCATION OF ISWAP FIGHTERS FROM LAKE CHAD AREA TO SHELAWA VILLAGE.
About 1520 hrs date,

ISWAP fighters in about thirty (30) vehicles including gun truck and motorcycles are sighted relocating from Lake Chad area to Shelawa village about seven (7) kilometers north of Gudumbali town the headquarters of Guzamala LGA.

It was revealed that the relocation of the insurgents was due to the onslaught by the Chadian troops at the lake Chad area. Before this relocation, already there was a sizable number of the insurgents and their equipment at Shelawa village.

There is need for air interdiction and deployment of blocking forces at Gudunbali town, Garanda and Aligambari villages all of Guzamala LGA as well as Zari in Mobbar LGA with a view of stopping the insurgents from escaping.

It is mad incredible. Completely saddening.

People on here, come on a pass utter disinformation, with others cheering them on.

The Nigerian military releases videos, pictures and press releases almost on a daily basis.

Yet, Nigerians, especially some people in this thread a blind to that and instead are more interested in spreading lies and falsehood.

The Nigerian army despite a number of setbacks has shown tremendous success in the first against terrorism.

Chad killing 20 Boko-Haram and uncovering arms although commendable pails in comparison to what the Nigerian military has done and continues to do in the NE.

[/b]Wow! That the Chadians had a successful engagement with ISIS/BH, albeit it was a joint MNJTF operation with NAF ISR assets and helos, now makes them Gods? So the fact they lost over 90 troops is swept away and a photo opportunity by Mr Deby now qualifies him as a hero?[b]

The fact that a lot of the islands were in Chad didn't matter at all and the successes of the NA in killing lots of BH/ISIS fighters in the past, not to talk of the various videos of the NAF blowing up BHT/ISIS ammunition dumps don't matter because we don't have NA soldiers laying over the ammunition in vogue style?

A lot of folk would laugh and say "lies" whenever the Armed Forces have bad a successful operation but any thing foreign is "true".

[/b]You have people with different agendas on this thread from a certain faction that can never see anything good, to people of a certain political affiliation to also people determined to spread misinformation.[b]

Every country has faults and problems waging a war and there will be set-backs as well as victories.

The NAF for one is vastly under-equipped and the entire inventory isn't even enough to wage a sustained war in the NE not to talk of the different theatres they are currently operating in. For those asking where the air force is when troops are attacked, you do know that you need a FAC/JTAC with every patrol/base who can co-ordinate with pilots in the heat of battle as the pilots can't differentiate between friend or foe from up high? Ask the pilots in the Rann incident.

[/b]An SU-25 won't make much of a difference if there is nobody on the ground to co-ordinate with unless there is a clear gap between friend & foe. You will need a hell of a lot of assets to be able to sustain helos/fighters for every engagement taking into account downtime, training etc. If you utilise all your assets at once, you will end up with nothing operational further down the line. [b]

The Tucano will help a lot because of its advanced avionics/weapons and the fact it can loiter for over 8 hours with ISR capabilities even after expending its weapons.

I have no interest in politics and you guys who vote can choose your leaders and they are a reflection of society. I only care for the Armed Forces whoever us in charge and it is quite disheartening to see people being so disrespectful to the Armed Forces and indeed the country because of selfish interests.

You have no other country. Carry on.

Think he meant Chad, not Nigeria.
As for those saying the US can't defeat the Talis, boy, pray you don't see the full might of the US unleashed on your country.
Only reason groups like the taliban are still around, is to avoid civilian casualties and preserve infrastructure, in other words, the US is using proportional force, if they were to use all they've got, short of nukes, there will be no Afghan left, let alone talibans.
But since they claim to be doing this for the people and perhaps democracy, they can't exactly turn the whole country to ashes.
So their lack of victory isn't due to lack of ability to do so, we would be asking, what's left of Afghanistan as a country after it's been decimated from air. I mean, the US have some hell on earth kind of fire power you even wouldn't wish on your enemy.

Habane:
Some dudes killed 97 of your soldiers you went after them and killed 20 and everyone is singing your praises.
I want to become a dictator someday.

kabe1:
Nigerian made ballistic helmet.

They provide protection against shrapnel and 9mm.

kabe1:
France is still fighting terrorism with us in West-Africa, it has been 7 years already.

America has been fighting terrorism in Somalia since 1993.

Because Chad killed 20 Boko-Haram and uncovered arms, ignorant Nigerians are using it as an opportunity to talk arrant nonsense.

Forgetting that the Nigerian military does this everyday.

BabaOwen:
One day we will have a president that will totally crush boko haram and ISWAP, and put an end to it. But I don't see buhari regime ending this boko haram issue.

kabe1:
We are not losing. South-Africa spent 28 years in Angola fighting terrorists.

Syrian civil war has gone on for 9 years despite heavy Russian involvement.

Nigerian army suffered losses in an ambush to BHT, but we have successfully degraded BHT to carrying out hit and run in isolated areas.

That's hardly a victory

jpphilips:
You are speaking from your personal opinion not based on previous & present events.
Before the Talibans agreed to come to the negotiation table, US dealt a severe blow to the Haqqani rebels presently reinforcing the Talibans, so the US has proved all that has to be proven fire power wise.
The real issue presently is that the fight is getting unpopular at home & there are no serious objective left so what are they supposed to fight for?
The US simply no longer wants to fight not that they can't win, there is no objective left, there is no political, economic or other strategic objective left there.

kabe1:
Military vehicles refurbished in Nigeria.

DavidAdeyemo:
Although I am inexperienced in military operations but following this thread for years now I observed two things?
1. Why can't we have a chopper escorting them whenever they move many men and materials? Because to me the army need eyes in the sky due the dynamics of the enemy take for example the case of Gen. Adeniyi he has no business on ground that day, he should be in the sky coordinating affairs base on his overview of the battle ground.
2. Why is this operation not under the Chief of Defense Staff Office so that all the security agencies will contribute men and materials into a single course?
The case of Theatre Commander saying he has seen gunship they sent shows lack of coordination I think he should have some platforms under his command.

lebuhsi:
Okay, I just saw the video, much of it looks like scenes from the attacks in gorgi, this appears not to be the 1st time they'll do this when there are under pressure

lebuhsi:
But bidexii, who do you know it's not recent?...remember those armored vehicle Lt gen. Buratai commissioned few days ago?...pic 2 looks like one, I'm just saying though?
