2smooth2shout: at least our troops and police are dying to for us.

What are yours doing? Oh wait i know... They would rather die for rhinos cos your lives aint worth sh*t.
They are dying for you - killed by other Naaai-gerians undecided

Do you even believe that you make sense?

South Africa soldiers won't put out military missions against South Africans when we have a police service. South Africa is not ghetto, I repeat. That's why humanoids from the ghetto Naai-geria are dying to come to South Africa.

It's always police missions.

Your years of military rule have served to confuse you.

2smooth2shout: meaning south africa is also not a democracy as you just asserted in your baseless empty post.
cos your useless undemocratic government also deployed soldiers alongside police against marikana protesters with knives and spears, Sent soldiers to do a park ranger's work.

So according to your own statement, what kind of democracy would send soldiers to do police work to the level of working as park rangers. SA is also a ghetto.

How's that you this stup1d Mooch

Make sure you read everything about a subject, before opening your mouth, Naai-gerian.

You'll only serve to further embarrass yourself.

2smooth2shout: ok why don't you answer why your government would rather send special forces both from abroad to protect rhinos while people are killed everyday in SA streets.

At least our troops are battling to save lives instead of animals..lol
Because, humanoid, as explained previously, protecting South Africans inside South Africa is the job of the police. South Africans soldiers cannot point guns at South Africans, simply by virtue of crime.

This is not Naai-geria, where democracy and the separation of power don't exist.

Donian007: Typical of you CRAIZY MAN, I thought you had relocated to the BUSH. The point is your soldiers, rangers and even the US seals are tired, outmanned and outgunned in the rhino battle. If your security establishments are perfect as you say and repeatedly rubbish Nigerias' why and how do the poachers cross your borders, smuggle in weapons, sneak into the park and do the deed? What has stopped your useless ANC cows from putting in more security? What made your govt deploy helos that keep falling off the skies? I have read a shameless statement from Heitman or whatever asserting that your govt does not know what it wants from its military and that your military takes orders from ANC not the govt and you keep ranting about democracy here. YOU OUTCAST SMELLY SHIBOBOed GAY!
Typical foaming-in-the-mouth comments from a Naai-gerian.

Point number one: you're wasting your time if you think that calling a South African gay is insult. We are enlightened and are light years ahead of you homophobic lot. You are behind the curve of human progress and still on the dark ages. Your belief that calling people gay is an insult only shows how backward you are.

Point number two: the anti poaching effort is under jurisdiction of the environmental affairs ministry. It's not under the jurisdiction of the military.

Poaching is not just a matter of crossing a boarder. Not that you'll get that.

Point number four: If you want to argue that the few military personnel involved as strategic operators are outmanned, then what are you making noise about?

It's not their operation and when Zetdee says "not even a fraction" and you say "outmanned", why are you monkeying around?

This is not Naai-geria where the whole military component was recalled to fight BH, undercover of fighter jets, yet bombs are still going off!

You need to drink something bitter and green, subspecies.

Imbec1le using Naai-gerian standards on South Africa.

Likely insurgencies in South Africa would not be allowed to grow to "full scale" insurgencies, as you put it. If we had BH in SA, BH never would've grown.

The police have dealt competently with those issues previously.

South Africa is not a ghetto, like Naai-geria, where incompetence and indecision allowed BH to grow.

souldust: what is reflected in the budget as military spending is not all the military spends in a year. The state governments also purchase hardware for the military as well. This fact has being said most times on NL.

If we ever get to that point when we have to fight for our survival, we will too tough a nut to crack, fact!
You do have to fight for your survival, right now. BH wants to divide the country. That's a survival issue. You do not seem to be doing much in terms of cracking them.

Nothing you say will redeem you. You know nothing. I discovered very quickly into this thread that you would teach us nothing.

You're a misleader of the masses.

Collecting military articles doesn't mean that you can analyse anything. You're just a person who'll die with a deferred dream and heartache at the military rankings of the world.

One or two good pieces of equipment improve a whole military's ranking where you come from? Even I can see that you're talking rubbish.

See what limited knowledge and overconfidence produces? An old, empty vessel who screams nothingness all the way from Abuja.

Spending some time cleaning the NAF grounds has produced this thing that you are, which I can't even describe without losing my appetite.

You're a joke, Mr Seleka.

2smooth2shout: Islamic Terrorists Furious Over Recent Defeat



Boko Haram is putting out positive spin on the Internet, insisting it was not hurt by the two week old government offensive. But there was a lot of damage and one result was a sharp reduction in Boko Haram attacks and their operations in general. On the down side, the government believes that most of those killed or arrested were new recruits and less skilled Boko Haram operatives. What the army really wants is the few hundred most experience Boko Haram members, who have the skills to build bombs and plan attacks. Over a hundred of these returned from Mali since February. There they tasted defeat by the French/Chad offensive that is still hunting for remaining Islamic terrorists in northern Mali. But for many months the Boko Haram in Mali tasted power as the Islamic radicals ran northern Mali, using Islamic law (sharia) and terror to get things done. Actually, all that sharia and bad behavior ruined the economy and sent several hundred thousand civilians fleeing. It’s unclear if that made any impression on the Boko Haram Mali vets. They did return with a sense of urgency and the skills needed to increase attacks inside Nigeria.

The government arrested more than a hundred Boko Haram suspects and many of them did have a connection with Boko Haram, and some were willing to talk about it. By cross-checking the information provided it was possible to determine which was true and to what extent. Arrests are still being made and most Boko Haram members continue to be distracted by the need to avoid getting arrested.

What is known is that the army has halted cell phone service in much of the northeast, putting Boko Haram at a disadvantage because the army and police have their own radios to communicate with. The military says they also destroyed a Boko Haram hospital and fuel storage depot, as well as several training facilities. A lots of documents were captured as well, and these are still being studied and exploited. In response the United States has openly, and privately, asked the military to try and control their personnel and avoid the all-too-common killing of innocent civilians during these operations, as well as the frequent looting of their possessions.

June 1, 2013: It appears that some Boko Haram members may have been involved in an unsuccessful attack on the main prison in the capital of neighboring Niger. Several Boko Haram men are held prisoner there.

May 30, 2013: In the southwest (Oyo State) customs police found over 56,000 rounds of ammunition hidden in goods being brought in from neighboring Benin. Smuggling is big business in Nigeria and the customs police are good at spotting illegal goods. Usually that means a bribe to let the goods pass but in the case of items that might get the cops killed (like ammo), it’s more likely that the contraband will be seized (although other corrupt officials might make the stuff disappear from government custody and show up on the black market).

In the north police released 58 women and children taken into custody during recent raids on Boko Haram bases. Some of the children admitted that they had been paid to place bombs and scout for the adult terrorists but all 58 were granted amnesty. This gesture is part of an effort to get Boko Haram to negotiate a peace deal, something the Islamic terror group is still opposed to. Boko Haram leaders are angry about the recent army offensive and the heavy losses they have suffered (but deny and insist that the army was defeated). Admitting defeat would make Boko Haram much less effective because the group has terrorized much of the northeast largely because of its reputation of being able to hit anyone, anytime, anywhere (in the northeast at least). But now the army has killed or captured many Boko Haram members and caused the rest to scatter. That gives the locals some hope and the Boko Haram leadership fits.

May 29, 2013: Police arrested three Lebanese men who admitted they were members of pro-Iran Lebanese Islamic terror group Hezbollah. The police also revealed they had seized a Hezbollah arms cache in the northern city of Kano. The police believe Iran is using Hezbollah to provide support for Boko Haram and that one of the three men arrested was caught trying to smuggle $60,000 into the country.

May 26, 2013: In the northeastern city of Maiduguri police continue to round up Boko Haram members and confirmed that they had disrupted several planned attacks. In the last few days three Boko Haram men have been killed and 25 arrested in the city.

May 25, 2013: In the south police rescued four foreign oil workers (two Russians and two Ukrainians) kidnapped last April 22nd. In the north police have found and freed even more Nigerians who had been kidnapped for ransom (both by Boko Haram and local ghangsters).

May 24, 2013: Pirates attacked another ship (a small tanker) off the coast and are believed to have looted the vessel and kidnapped some of the 17 man crew

Old story~


Not only has BH recorded a defeat against the state's men...but also...

Boko Haram Re-emerges

Members of the Boko Haram sect seem to be re-emerging from their hiding places in renewed attacks on Yobe and Borno States, as the suspected terrorists struck again in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, on Monday killing nine students writing examinations conducted by the National Examination Council (NECO).


In a separate attack by the group, a farming village of Alau Dam was also overrun where 13 persons comprising fishermen and tea vendors were gunned down. Monday's attacks were the third in a space of five days.


The sect had laid siege on Gwoza hill in Borno State where they killed a clergyman and burnt down four churches on Thursday, while on Sunday the terrorists attacked a school in Damaturu, Yobe State where they killed seven students and two teachers.
It was gathered that five of the students killed on Monday were sitting for the ongoing NECO exam at Ansarudeen Primary/Secondary School, a private school in the Jajeri ward of Maiduguri metropolis.


Eyewitness accounts revealed that after storming the school, the suspected sect members opened fire on the hall, moments after the examination started.
One of the eyewitnesses, who spoke anonymously with journalists, said the gunmen attacked the school at about 3 pm, forcing other students and invigilators to take to their heels.


On the same Monday, it was gathered that some Boko Haram sect members attacked Alau Dam, on the outskirts of Maiduguri killing a total of 13 persons.


An eyewitness said the gunmen ambushed the people around the dam and sporadically opened fire on them. The gunmen were said to have continuously shouted at their victims: “You are those exposing our activities to security agencies, today your days are over, as we will kill all of you.”
A few weeks ago, some groups of youths on a volunteer mission arrested several members of the sect in Hausari and Gwange, among other areas of Maiduguri and handed them over to the JTF.


The fundamentalist group said that in addition to their targets: the police, soldiers, all security operatives, politicians and other symbols of authority, the youths of the two states have now been added to the assassination list.


Angered by the lingering crises that had crippled social and economic activities in both states, some youths had organised themselves into vigilante groups, captured scores of insurgents and handed them over to security operatives.


But in a statement e-mailed to some Maiduguri-based journalists, Abu Zinnira, the spokesman of the Boko Haram, said they had decided to also launch a manhunt for their hunters (youths) who go by the name “Civilian JTF”.


According to him, “We have established that youths in Borno and Yobe States are now against our course. They have connived with security operatives and are actively supporting the government of Nigeria in its war against us. We have also resolved to fight back,” Zinnira said.


However, some of the youths who promised to fight the Boko Haram insurgents in Maiduguri said they would not be deterred from carrying out their mission and there would be no going back on the course they had started so as to bring sanity back to their beloved states.

you were dealt an embarrassing blow which gave you the opportunity to act in retaliation since it was rebels not government of CAR that killed your troops. the world expected you to act and you failed.

during the sierra Leon war. ivory coast, burkina faso and Liberia were against Nigeria's intervention and the rebels even got support from Liberia (not sure about the rest)which made it a bigger war. But Nigeria went ahead not minding the cost.

that's how you project power.

there was even a time gbagbo refused to grant Nigerian air force access through it's air space, threatened to shoot down our transport plane. But our government scrambled jets to escort the plane through ivory coast air space. thereby, risked getting involved in another war with them.

with power comes responsibilities and SA showed it wasn't ready to take on those responsibilities.
He might as well not get your point. Your point is rubbish.

South Africa respects international and regional laws.

There was no legal regime that would have allowed South Africa to "retaliate". We got our troops out and that was enough. We had deployed sufficiently to fight to get our boys out, if there had been a problem getting them out. But there wasn't.

why did the turkish government had to finally negotiate with the PKK for peace after years of fighting them with the best military hardware(they even went on full scale war twice with every hardware they have)?

why is the second most powerful country in the world (russia) still unable to put down chechen rebels after decades of fighting them with some of the best equipments in the world?

why is India(the fourth most powerful country in the world) begging MAOIST rebels for negotiation after almost 4 decades of fighting them?

why is spain still battling ETA with their military might after decades?

NaijaPikinGidi: Another intentional display of your weak brain's capacity! You know next to nothing about countering insurgency! You know next to about intelligence gathering through such levels of dialogue! You are just entirely a clueless roasted brain CrayFish! What Nigeria has achieved in less than three months of coordinated security operations ... has confounded naysayers like you. Enjoy the pain of your delusions! Yeye CrayFish! grin grin grin grin

Kindergaten insults, with no creativity or smarts behind them.
