If the north falls to terrorists, what makes you think they won't invade the south?

I was watching a documentary today on CNN about the Talibans capture of a major city in Afghanistan. The first thing they did was to get all girls from age 12 and above for the commanders and various members to get married to and it got me thinking. The Taliban and the various terror groups in the north all share the same ideology. No amount of weapons or super intelligence can defeat this guys. I mean the USA poured in over 20 billion dollars in Afghanistan. Sent in high end weapons, trained the Afghan troops yet they still lost the war. 20 years gone, thousands of Americans dead and the war was lost.

Islamists are defeatable, Afghanistan has a unique history of being hard to conquer.

Think of Chechnya, Algeria, Xinjiang, etc. They all had Islamist insurgencies we hardly hear about.

Also remember that the US exercises restraint in the way it conducts warfare. The Taliban, alongside the civilian population, can be wiped out in seconds if the US were evil minded.

Russia was there for 9 years,there is nothing to gain in Afghanistan, no country can defeat insurgency inside Afghanistan unless you want to kill every one,as for Northern terrorists they cant do more than a dead Rat,we ve level lands in the south also


we are not bordered by any terrorist countries so no where for them to hide,we know a northerner when we see one

If a whole America couldn't defeat the Taliban what is the fate of the Nigerian army in winning the boko haram war. They are even recruited into the same army and people in the south are just sitting down. Whether people like it or not. Those guys will take over the north and when they do what happens to the south. I mean people make a lot of noise on social media but we all know southern tribes aren't used to wars or warrior like in nature compared to the north that has known and fought all kinds of wars. Even if the country divides as people want it to. Will independent southern nations have the resources to fight the terror groups in the north. With Afghanistan under taliban control it will become a training and funding ground for all forms of terror group.

I have always predicted southern Nigeria to be like congo or Liberia in the future but with what's going on in the north it might be much worst than Afghanistan and Yemen put together.

it seems to me you do not understand the complexity of the war in Afghanistan.
actually, in all sincerity, America had nothing to lose; Afghans lost; all lover of freedom and emancipation from extremists lost this war.
you could see that in the reaction of Afghans who were jostling to escape the country through the airport before the impending anarchy catches them.
America had done their bid in invading the foothold of global terrorism and fighting squarely.
They came, saw and conquered: the remaining of what they had left is for Afghans who really want to be free to fight and resist the anarchy they are likely going to witness in coming days/years.

As in Nigeria, Islamism is what gives the terrorists personnel and motivation to wage war and sustain it.

The average Muslim is glad that the Taliban has taken power. The average Muslim in Nigeria will subtly or overtly be in support of an Islamic take over of Nigeria.

Even in power it is religion and affiliation to these people first before nationalism. That's why you see MURIC and co releasing statements that always shows their bias, you see them in government only planning how to conquer and subdue others. You see them tacitly "supporting" their "terrorists" and going full war on the others.

If the north falls to terrorism then the south will draw a line in the middle. There will be a two country solution. Just like in India and Pakistan.

Each of them can go ahead and forge their future. Anyone that wants to cross over to the other part will do that for their safety. A border wall will ideally be built across key points. As with Pakistan, expect numerous terrorist attacks towards the south, but the south will form alliances and be technologically superior and will avenge these attacks.

But one thing is certain, If the north does not make terrorism its national agenda (This is most likely as they will assume power by terrorism), both sides will grow at a fast rate and things will be done right due to the competition between the two regions and the support from the Islamic countries to the North and the West to the South.

It is not going to be the same optics as Afghanistan. Afghanistan is > 90% Islam and there is wide support for the Taliban. Southern Nigeria is lesser than 20% Islam (I assume). If there is funding to support us against hostility from the north, be rest assured that able bodied men will be ready and willing to protect their region and will not be in bed with the terrorists. Those that take crumbs to push the agenda of the wolves as seen today will be inconsequential then.

Oga your story is shortlived. First of Russia got her ass whooped in Afghanistan.

Second of all, USA, thoroughly dealt with Taliban, removed them from government, installed new govt etc. The next phase now is to teach Afghans to fight their own war. Which is what US would do eventually.

Thirdly, America though not invincible is a master tactician. Withdrawal from Afghanistan and subsequently allowing terrorists taking over the country would be strategic.

First, it will allow the oppressed China's Ughur region, to have direct access to a terror nation. And you know the problems in the Urghur region in China.

Secondly, Taliban can easily seize Tajikistan and Uzbekistan which are at the backyard of Russia. Bringing terrorism into China-Russia mix would be a great tool for global dominance. Sacrificing Afghanistan to achieve that aim wouldn't be a difficult decision.

Knowing that America has over 50 years experience dealing with terrorists, they have moved into the realm of using terrorists to achieve their aims. Rather than completely wiping them out. Don't forget that at the height of Iran-US crisis, there were insinuations that America wanted to activate ISIS who is arch enemy of Iran.

If the global GDP is $80tr and your country alone controls $22tr out of it, you can do a lot.

It will be very difficult for terrorists to overun the south if we remove govt interference. Because for one, they are easily identifiable compared to southern population. Secondly, the south is much smaller and less mountainous. Thirdly, we have more resources to fight a prolonged warfare than them, amongst others.
china and russia wont allow this. These guys dint even Carr about human rights etc if Afghanistan try rubbish China ir russia will finish Taliban and annex the whole country

Whether we'll win or not isn't the question.

The question should be, have we tried to win this war?

Since the days of GEJ, the northerners have been firmly behind Boko Haram. Some northerners are only against them now because they killed Muslims. Trust me, if Boko Haram and bandits targets were southerners and Christians alone, most northerns would still be firmly behind them.

The northerns have done their best to frustrate the pseudo efforts of the government, especially this present administration.

The thing seems like a joke to me, how can you send aides to pay for ransom to bandits and tell me you don't know where they are?
You take pictures with them, have a round table discussion with them but yet, you don't know their locations?

Remember what OBJ did in Niger Delta? How he cleared those militants after having a group discussion with them? Trust me, we can pull something as easy as that off, especially with the fact that majority of these Boko Haram and Bandits have very low IQ.

There is a saying in yoruba that, if you don't play, you can't win.


As for the future of the South, we have oil, we are intelligent amongst other things.
The southern states are the best in Nigeria.
It's the safest place to be in Nigeria.
If you remove the northern affiliation and for the fact that we don't get to share revenues with the north who are much than us in terms of number of geopolitical zone, state and population, we will do very fine. We'll also easily attract foreign investors.

Point of correction, American did not lost the war, they have accomplished their mission, but trying to turn Afghanistan into a democratic government is one hell of a mistake, because the people in there are mostly taliban sympathizers, imagine a well equipped Army not even putting a fight and surrendering like babies.
