Guerillas in Kenya, Rhodesia, Namibia and elsewhere in Africa were generally classified as terrorists by the occupying powers. But are you a member of the occupying powers?
At your age you can't tell the difference between someone fighting to free his Homeland from foreign domination and a terrorist? Hide your head in shame.

So you are saying cos the South African government considered ANC as a terrorist organization you will stand there and say ANC is a terrorist organization? You can't think for yourself abi? Next, you will come and say Nelson Mandela was a terrorist cos he was an ANC member.

Why are you ranting like a market woman who sat on a nail and got pregnant? Did I insult you? No. I merely pointed out your mistake.

You could have just acknowledged it and gone your way, only to call me stupid. So, I'm stupid for pointing out your mistake. A mistake that does a great disservice to the countless individuals who gave their lives to free southern Africa and end apartheid. A disservice to the Cubans and other volunteers who poured unimaginable resources into ending the apartheid monolith.

Mr Man, whichever University you went to go there now and demand they return your school fees. Do that with your chest.

They only have to look at your brain, see there's nothing there and refund your fees. Once you are done, get a certificate of idiotism from the nearest general hospital. Then carry it around on a placard so we can all see it without hindrance.

Again, you lack of common sense is utter astonishing.

Aljazeera refers to Boko-Haram as rebels, rebels who bomb and maim civilians.

It is well documented over the following two years from 1980, thousands of Ndebele were detained by government forces and either marched to re-education camps or summarily executed by Robert Mugabe.

Infact the consensus of the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) is that more than 20,000 people were killed.

Are these not terrorists act carried out on the basis of tribe.

These terrorists acts perpetrated by Robert Mugabe predate 1980.

Your lack of imagination, common sense and an inability to conduct basic research before ranting exposes mental handicap.


Quit exposing your foolishness and conduct basic research.

GabrielYulaw:
There's plenty of stupid1ty here and it's not from my side. To think a supposedly educated person like you cannot differentiate terrorists from independence/freedom fighters. I am just tempted to tie you up and dump you in the main SWAPO office in Windhoek, so you can call party cadres terrorists to their face.
And no, I am not your bro and you cannot blame me for your own mistakes.

Your hopeless stupidity continues unabated. For a fact the guerrillas at the time were classified as terrorists by not just the South-African government but by many governments across the world.

Ranting like a dog infected with rabies doesn't change that.

Hezbollah were considered a terrorist group in Lebanon, they now control seats in the Lebanese parliament.

Doesn't change the fact many countries consider them as terrorists.

Fvcking iidiot crying more than the bereaved.

GabrielYulaw:
Lol. Lookit this slowp0ke calling independence movements terrorists. And no, this was not an honest mistake, cos he has done this before. The other time though I thought to let it pass.
Tens if not hundreds of thousands of brave men and women sacrificed their lives and limbs to free most of Africa from the juggernaut that was South Africa- an apartheid state that believed blacks were subhuman. And then this fella comes here to ridicule their efforts.
I swear I feel like sending some special brand of thunder his way

You're really, really don't want to go the mud-slinging path with me bros.

I'll let this your stup1dity slide.

GabrielYulaw:
I know of SWAPO and Nujoma. So you are saying all independence groups in southern Africa are terrorists? Like how dare they aspire to be independent from the great and magnificently racist South Africa, right?
You are saying south west Africa was not independent at that time, but you didn't state that was because South Africa was furiously blocking all attempts at independence.

If you want to discuss tactics that's fine, if you want to discuss politics, then bye bye.

I corrected my terminology to guerrillas.

GabrielYulaw:
It's like you and I read very different history books. South Africa did not fight any terrorists because it was the only terrorist in that region at that time. What it was doing was willfully ignoring UN resolutions, invading independent countries at will, and making war on all that sought the establishment of independent states in the southern part of Africa, cos this would lead to the end of its genocidal apartheid regime.
Talking of terrorists, South Africa was the main supporter of UNITA, a group of undisciplined rapists who delighted in bloodshed and massacres.

South West Africa (Namibia) was not independent at the time. South-Africa ran South West Africa.

South-Africa was fighting SWAPO who are a guerrilla group. SWAPO had support from FAPLA in Angola.

P.S Im Not Nigerian and thus im speaking objectively!

I don't understand.

So because you're not Nigerian it means you're speaking objectively?

That's funny.

Look at how you expose your complete lack of understanding prejudiced has blinded your reasoning.

Watch the Chadian minister of defence explaining how recent operations against Boko-Haram have been carried out.

Chadian Defence Minister was in Abuja last week to meet with Nigerian Defence Minister. He spoke to TVC.

The Nigerian army has many failings in many areas. The Nigerian army is also doing a lot.

Our army pushed Boko-Haram from as far south as Kogi state back to Lake Chad area in Northern Borno.

South-Africa spent 28 years fighting terrorists in Angola, terrorism is not easy.

Please don't come here and tell us to emulate Chad, a country that lost 100 soldiers in one day. It is insulting.

seankafor:
lol, put on your seat belt because you re on a long ride with that hypocritical self pompous dude.

I know him even from the super eagles sports section.

Shaa na you fit him.. giving it to him as e dey hot

I am all for truth.

Where there are failings in the Nigerian army, we should all discuss it and proffer solutions.

I just can't stand people making disparaging comments about the Nigerian army. Especially when they compare the Nigerian army to other failing armies.

......and claim these other failed armies operating in the region are miles ahead of the Nigerian army and we should learn from them.

komekn:
You have become fixated with my posts but with vitriolic and condescending rhetoric. But why

We are in lock � LOCKDOWN so l have some time to indulge you.

You are comparing a search and destroy mission in a completely isolated hostile territory, that is taking place over several weeks.

They are sleeping in the harsh open Sahara over several weeks maybe over a month . They are blowing up potential IED's. Tracking phone calls seeking out Jihadists. An area bigger than the whole of Nigeria.

The journalist was embedded with them for a week + not a day.

They did not drive on any tarmac and avoided pre existing tracks. They were going to very isolated hostile villages. Not a big city like Maiduguri.

Thier formation was attack based not single file and clearly in danger of attack at any time. The visited the place were Us soldiers were ambushed. So they covered at least 500 km or more on that period.

The purpose and intent was not cheap publicity but a concerted specific search and destroy mission.

The entire operation with the COAS with multiple soldiers and journalists in tow, had one purpose publicity. That's a true PR exercise.

There is no comparison.

It seems you are just here to cause discord and unnecessary contention. No genuine intent for constructive criticism.

I do have a lot of time on my hands.

I usually sense a pattern of misinformation in your posts, whether you do that knowingly or out of ignorance it remains to be seen.

There are two armies with similar operations. In the Nigerian video, the war correspondent @Brenda ngusul clearly stated the "Chief of army staff is combing the forest alongside his troops".

Your response was a laughter, a clear form of mockery towards our brave Nigerian soldiers.


In the French Special Forces video, they soldiers are clearly combing the desert, after that they went into Tongo Tongo village.

The exact same thing the Nigerian army did in it's own video, yet you decided to laugh at our troops and glow tributes at the French.


The French special forces did not drive on Tarmac because there are virtually no tarred rounds in the Northern region of Mali. It is mostly desert.


The Nigerian Chief of army staff like the video clearly states visited Nigerian army Super Camps in various sectors, after that he combed the forest with his soldiers.

You are the person telling us he is chilling in Maiduguri. This is why I accused you of misinformation.

The entire thing with the journalist filming French special forces driving on the desert and driving in villages attempts to achieve only one thing, Propaganda and PR.

There is enough evidence to compare the Nigerian army video and French army video.

I find it sad and utterly distasteful that your intent is to disparage the efforts of our brave Nigerian soldiers.

You seem to be one of those people that just like argument for

We are talking about the men in this video, not the entire French deployment in Mali.

You seem to be one of those people that just like argument for argument sake. You don't make any sense.

Because l did not make any conclusion WHATSOEVER, l gave possible options Parachute regiments or Legionnaire l even said l don't know.

You need to understand the difference between Specail forces, Specialist forces and a specail missions.

And in a mission you will have quite often mixture of combatants from different regiments all pulled together. It's not particularly important or relevant.

What's your point it's, are we train spotting here.

The rest of your post is insignificant.

Since you don't know, the guys are not legionnaires.

They are also not Paratroopers.

They are French Commando Parachute Group (GCP) operators deployed in Liptako region of Mali at the border with Niger.

KingAzubuike:
I can't even count the amount of times they've bombed IDP centers and you're here talking about investigation and compensation. what Intel do they have to carry out any investigation?
You still don't know how incompetent and dull.the airforce is. The Nigerian military generally is useless but among the 3 arms, airforce is the most useless, less effective and dormant.

This is the second incident. Rann was the first incident.

Don't try to be disingenuous with the facts.

I can also respond to your post with even more vile comments, trust me.

Please let's not go down the route of throwing insults.

KingAzubuike:
Is this the kind of training the Nigerian military receives, very pathetic. your country doesn't have a military .. Innocent kids gone like a fart in the wind. They'd even be better off learning a thing or two from playing call of duty. The pictures sent to me on Whatsapp were so gory I couldn't even look twice.

https://www.thecable.ng/children-killed-as-air-force-accidentally-bombs-borno-village/amp?__twitter_impression=true

Accidents happen even in the best armies.

Trust the Nigerian Air Force to carry out a comprehensive investigation and details of that investigation would be made public.

Affected families will also be compensated.

Habane:
I love how you confidently talk Bro. keep it up you will go places.

Confidently talking nonsense. Nigerians always praise mediocrity.

AskiaHarem:
Dude you know this forum is filled to the brim with lobotomized malnourished Anti-Naija Coons your wasting your time with explanations.

I have provided sound and irrefutable evidence, let's see how he spins this one.

French Special forces 1& 2

Nigerian Soldiers 3 & 4


The only difference I see between the Nigerian soldiers and French soldiers is skin colour.

So Mr Komken, are you really judging our hardworking and brave Nigerian soldiers solely on the basis of their skin colour?

The French soldiers who cannot even resupply themselves is better than our brave Naija boys because they are Oyibo.

I shared a Naija video and you laughed. Ignorance, yes?

French Special Forces pushing their Toyota out of a ditch in Mali.

Some more comedy gold.

Komken claims "They use the Toyota gun trucks but not as transport three gun ports on one truck. Stabilised with optic sights".

Why don't I see any of his claims in these pictures?

- The French Special forces are clearly using the Toyota as a Transport vehicle. This claim is busted.

- The Toyota French Special forces are using has only one stabilized gun, a GPMG. This claim also busted.

- The GPMG clearly has no stabilised optic sight. Well, this is sadly also busted.

According to @Komken, who clearly doesn't know the difference between a special forces soldier and a regular legionnaire from the French army, it is cool for a foreign(Royal Air Force) helicopter to resupply French Commandos in Mali.

Like he put it, French have HUGE logistical support. They are living in a 5 star hotel when compared to the Nigerian army.

OK, but why are 5 star hotel guys begging the RAF for logistical support?

But if Nigeria asks Chad to do their duty as members of the MNJTF it is a taboo. A crime against humanity.

Even in Mali, the French army(Special Forces) cannot fully sustain themselves.

They have to be resupplied by British army Chinook helicopters.

Yet the clown running amok in this thread couldn't help himself but masturbate all over the thread.

komekn:
. Lol

I bet if they were white you won't be laughing.

The reporter clearly said they were combing the forest.

They are driving heavily armed light skin vehicles, armed with 12.7mm heavy machine guns with 3 soldiers per truck just like the French commandos in the previous video.

They are carrying out search and destroy operations in the forest, but since they are not white people, you find it funny.

That's quite disgusting.

komekn:
Not really.

There are Specail forces and thier are Special forces.

Seem like your regular Legionnaire to me then they might be the Paratroopers, dont know, didn't check.

Bros, Bros!!!

They are Commando Parachutists. French GCP special forces.

I wonder how you came to the conclusion that they are Legionnaires.

Can you walk me through the process of your conclusion?

Interesting video, it shows how intrinsic communication and supply chain logistics are in fighting terrorists.

The need for long-range reconnaissance patrols into hostile territory on search and destroy missions is extremely ESSENTIAL.

The French have huge amount of logistical support. They can call up attack helicopters at moments notice or more. They are living in a 5* hotel compared to our guys. Imagine they drink 5 litres of water a day.

They use the Toyota gun trucks but not as transport three gun ports on one truck. Stabilised with optic sights. Complemented with other light armoured vehicles.

They never go on the same track twice or existing tracks. They are able to track phone calls. This Sahara area in the North of Mali and Niger, is an area bigger than Nigeria. The Mali army is totally incapable.

And they are seeking the enemy. I really think our NA should have a presence in these areas. It is obvious that they are linked into Boko and form part of thier supply chain.

.....And the Nigerian army is doing the exact same thing in this video.
