The facts I have been able to glean from X, from first hand info, is that it was something of a fighting patrol that these terrorists tried to break off its offensives with suicide VBIEDs. It is from this VBIED we lost our men.

This particular operation helps me make sense of all the NAF airstrikes in Damboa, Mandara Mts and this particular Timbuktu in early January. They were probably interdictions in prep for ground troops.

So far, there is nothing i've seen from all the info I have piece together that indicates the NAF was "missing" when needed.

It was'nt an overrun base or an "ambush" really. It was a counter attack. And except air cover can be guaranteed to follow troops around like the sun, those deaths were unfortunate.
Major operations like that should be provided with sufficient and timely air assesses for our ground troops.

ARMY PROVIDE MORE UPDATE ON TERRORIST ATTACK ON TROOPS IN THE TIMBUKTU TRIANGLE

1. On 16 Jan 25, troops of Operation HADIN KAI commenced operation DESERT SANITY IV as part of a wider measure to completely defeat the terrorists in the North East Region. In the course of the operation, troops dislodged terrorists from their enclaves in Jemyeri, Abulam, Agum and Digamari. Troops further stormed ISWAP training camp at Garin Baban Alhassan, destroyed the camp and neutralized 18 including 3 notorious commanders identified as Talha, the ISWAP women leader, Mallam Umar the RPG trainer and Abu Yazeed the ISWAP Brigade Commander in the Timbuktu Triangle. On 22 Jan 25 at about 1440hrs, troops of 199 SF Bn, Combat Teams 6 and 8 married up at Gardiri for the final onslaught on the notorious terrorist enclave. As precursor operations, troops cleared terrorist camps at Burbur, Lamisuri, Kassachia and Buk destroying all life supporting structures within these strongholds. It is worthy to state that the terrorists were placed on the backfoot as they were on the run all through seeking to find new hideouts within the Timbuktu Triangle.
2. Due to the pressure on the terrorists and a sign of desperation and last resort, on 24 Jan 25 at about 1910hrs, the terrorists cowardly rammed into troops at their harbor position with a Vehicle Borne IED at Gardiri base killing a Commanding Officer, 2 officers and some of our very brave men while injuring 20 others. Conversely and conservatively too, the troops neutralised more than 60 of the terrorists during the one week long operation . Also, 14 AK 47 rifles, 6 RPG tubes, 18 motorcycles and 24 AK 47 magazines were recovered by our gallant warriors.
3. Based on this development, a comprehensive review of the operation is being carried out to enable a re-launch. Meanwhile, It is pertinent to set the records straight that there was no terrorist activity at Malam Fatori which led to casualty on own troops as widely circulated in some media outlets by mischief makers. The only recorded incident occurred at the Timbuktu Triangle in Damboa LGA of Borno State as narrated earlier.

Generally it is much more costly and difficult to provide fire support than to carry out planned airstrikes. Even the Russian military struggled with this in Ukraine. The planning and response time is much shorter.

Drones would have at the very least give them where to direct their fire.

Gardiri was earlier mentioned in the circular as the form up point for the Combat teams. From the info I got, I think it is the HQ section of the patrol at Gardiri that the VBIED wanted to cut off.

The timbuktu triangle is bush, badlands. In 2yrs of the Army operating there, I have not heard of a base there. It has always been long fighting patrolx

ACP Dauda Buba Fika, Boko Haram’s Nightmare, Passes Away

Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Dauda Buba Fika, a revered officer in Nigeria’s fight against Boko Haram, has passed away. He died at the National Hospital, Abuja, at about 3:30 PM on Tuesday.

ACP Fika, known for his bravery and leadership, played a key role in reclaiming several towns in Yobe and Borno states from Boko Haram insurgents. As the Commander of Mopol 41, he led joint security operations that significantly weakened terrorist strongholds, including the liberation of his hometown, Fika, from their grip.

In 2017, he sustained gunshot injuries during an operation in Yobe State, injuries that required prolonged medical treatment until his passing.

Security officials, colleagues, and members of the public have expressed deep sorrow over his death, describing him as a fearless warrior who dedicated his life to restoring peace in Nigeria’s Northeast.

His legacy in counterterrorism efforts remains a testament to his unwavering commitment to national security.

RIP

[/b]Brig Gen AS Aliyu Makes History with Daring Parachute Jump[b]

In a rare and awe-inspiring display of military courage and leadership, Brigadier General AS Aliyu etched his name in history today, successfully executing a parachute jump at Airborne Drop Zone, Jaji Military Cantonment. His daring feat is reminiscent of the historic jump by former Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen KTJ Minimah, reaffirming the time-honored tradition of leading from the front in the Nigerian Army.

The significance of Gen Aliyu’s achievement extends beyond personal bravery; it underscores his unwavering commitment to excellence, discipline, and the rigorous demands of military service. Unlike many senior officers who may choose to observe from a distance, Gen Aliyu opted to experience firsthand what young soldiers and cadets endure, a decision that has resonated deeply across military circles.

What makes this jump even more remarkable is that Gen Aliyu was not alone in his feat. he was joined by cadets from the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), many of whom were making their first parachute jumps. Their participation marks a pivotal moment in their transformation from cadets to future leaders of the Nigerian Armed Forces.

For these young officers, the experience was more than just an adrenaline rush; it was a lesson in courage, resilience, and leadership by example. Seeing a senior officer willingly share in the same challenges they face serves as a powerful reminder that true leadership is about action, not just instruction.

One of the cadets, speaking after the jump, expressed profound admiration for Gen Aliyu’s willingness to take part in such a physically and mentally demanding exercise.

“Watching him take that leap instilled a sense of pride and confidence in all of us. It showed that our leaders are not distant commanders but true warriors who lead from the front,” the cadet remarked.

[/b]Nigerian Troops Eliminate Notorious Bandit Leader Kachalla Na Faranshi in Zamfara[b]



The troops of Operation FANSAN YANMA have have successfully neutralized a notorious bandit leader, Kachalla Na Faranshi, along with several of his fighters during an aggressive raid in the forests of Zurmi Local Government Area of Zamfara State.

Intelligence sources confirmed to Zagazola Makama on Friday that the terrorists was eliminated when they came in contact with the troops.

Kachalla Na Faranshi was a high-profile bandit leader originally from Shirgi village in Maradi, Niger Republic. Before venturing into armed criminality, he and his father were cattle traders. Over time, he became deeply involved in banditry and weapons smuggling.

His stronghold was located in the Dutsen Kura forest, southwest of Mashema in Zurmi Local Government Area.

He was known for smuggling illicit firearms from Mali and Niger, supplying weapons to various armed groups operating in Nigeria’s northwestern forests.

Na Faranshi had links with terrorist groups operating in Mali and was previously an ally of the notorious bandit leader, Bello Turji, before establishing his own criminal network.

On March 23, 2024, Kachalla Na Faranshi released a video displaying sophisticated weapons and a large number of fighters, issuing threats to attack Zurmi town in Zamfara State. His group was responsible for multiple attacks, kidnappings, and arms trafficking in the region.

During the recent operation in the forests of Zurmi, security forces engaged Na Faranshi and his men in a fierce gun battle, successfully eliminating him and many of his fighters.

The Nigerian military have continued to intensified operations in Zamfara and neighboring states to curb banditry and ensure peace in the entire Northwestern region.

Ramaphosa opening Parliament yesterday:

We have always believed that the freedom we won – and the international solidarity from which we benefited – imposes a duty on us to support the struggles of those who continue to experience colonialism and oppression.

South Africa continues to stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine, who, having endured decades of illegal occupation, are now experiencing indescribable suffering.

South Africa has acted in accordance with its obligations under the Genocide Convention by instituting proceedings against Israel at the International Court of Justice.


We are fully committed to the articles of the United Nations Charter, including the principle that all members shall settle their international disputes by peaceful means.

We support the principle of respect for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of all states and peoples.

We continue to participate in the different peace processes seeking to bring about a just and lasting peace in Ukraine.

South African delegations have been instrumental in developing a framework for negotiations towards a just peace in Ukraine based on the UN Charter and international law.

I think Ramaphosa is playing the two sides.
Rheinemtall is still producing in South Africa.

Furthermore, in January 2024 Der Spiegel reported that Germany had agreed to Israel’s request to deliver 10,000 rounds of 120mm tank ammunition that is produced by Germany’s largest arms manufacturer Rheinmetall.

We are multi-aligned (or what the South Americans call "active non-alignment), meaning we talk and trade with everybody unless - and this is the crucial part - they are under UN, not unilateral sanctions.
SA arms exporters are forbidden by SA law, to sell arms to states in active conflict. Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Myanmar etc, are among the states to whom SA arms will NOT be sold.
What Rheinmetall Denel Munitions is doing is selling to NATO countries to replenish their own stocks. Essentially, when Germany for example, donates 100K shells from its own stocks produced by Rheinmetall factories elsewhere, the German military orders 100K from RDM in SA to replace those.
All of the materiel sourced from SA can only replenish own stocks, not to be donated to Ukraine or Israel. That's why a R1 billion order from Poland was put on hold and cancelled, after SA-made 155mm shells were seen in Ukraine.

For all the propaganda in the world, hundreds of fresh graves in military cemeteries are hard to hide from satellites!

Rwandan troops ‘dying in large numbers in DRC’, despite official denials of role

Exclusive: Sources say thousands of RDF killed supporting M23 rebels in eastern Congo, intensifying pressure on Kigali

Hundreds of Rwandan troops have been killed during covert operations in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), contradicting claims from Kigali that its soldiers are not involved in the conflict there.

Multiple intelligence, military and diplomatic sources say that “very significant” numbers of soldiers from the Rwanda Defence Force (RDF) have died supporting an offensive by M23 rebels in DRC.

Satellite imagery of one military cemetery in the Rwandan capital of Kigali indicates at least 600 graves have been dug since the M23 – backed by RDF troops – restarted operations within DRC three years ago.

Two high-ranking intelligence officials with knowledge of the RDF say the true losses sustained by Rwanda probably run into the “thousands”, but pinning down a definitive figure is challenging.

Another senior source says a number of dead Rwandan troops were secretly buried in “mass graves” in DRC when it was impossible to return their bodies across the border.

They say that families were given empty coffins when corpses could not be returned. “Not all soldiers that perished in DRC were able to be repatriated, especially in areas under a lot of fire. Some were buried in mass graves,” they add.

Rwandan casualties are so high that a new wing has been built at Kigali’s military hospital to deal with them. Its mortuary is full, the source says.

Rwanda continues to deny its forces have crossed into DRC. It has repeatedly denied involvement in supporting the M23 rebels and has never acknowledged its troops have died in the conflict.

UN experts, however, say the Rwandan army is in “de facto control” of M23 rebels, who last month seized the city of Goma, capital of DRC’s North Kivu province, and control a swathe of DRC equivalent to almost half the size of Rwanda itself.

Revelations concerning Rwanda’s military death toll will intensify pressure on Kigali to come clean about its role in the conflict before a crisis summit attended by the Rwandan and DRC presidents, Paul Kagame and Felix Tshisekedi, respectively, in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, on Saturday.

Diplomatic sources say the true number of Rwandan dead – evidence of sustained frontline involvement – would be acutely damaging for Kagame.

Emmanuel Ngabo, who runs a group in France called ARC Urunana Nyarwanda France (Rwandan Alliance for Change), says he has received numerous indications from grieving parents that large numbers of Rwandans have been killed.

“There are so many bodies needing to be processed. There is such a queue of families waiting [for burial] that they are only allowed 30 minutes at the graveside.”

Ngabo, not his real name, adds: “The coffins are always closed, either because the soldier is so badly injured or burnt he is unrecognisable, or because there is nobody inside the box.

“We hear that privates are often buried where they fall in Congo: officers are brought back for burial in Kanombe [military cemetery in Kigali].”

Satellite images of Kanombe from August 2021 – before the start of the M23 conflict – and another taken on 15 December 2024, before the rebels seized Goma on 27 January, appear to show a dramatic increase in the number of graves there.

Two areas in particular indicate a proliferation of graves since the conflict began. One, in the cemetery’s north, appears to show about 100 new graves, doubling the number in that part of it.

To the south, at least 500 new graves can be seen. A significant number have probably been dug since the image was taken at the end of last year. Cloud cover, however, thwarted attempts to obtain a more recent image of Kanombe.

Last month marked a bloodier phase of the conflict, with a renewed M23 and RDF push seizing the towns of Minova and Sake, as well as Goma. The UN says the battle for Goma left at least 2,900 people dead.

An intelligence source confirms increased RDF deaths. “We have been receiving increasing reports of casualties in military hospitals and burial sites,” they say.

A military source adds that the capability of the DRC army – and effective use of drones and airpower – would have killed many.

“I’m not surprised to see the increase in graves. When you have aircraft dropping bombs on troops, it claims a lot of lives,” they say.

Although thousands of Rwandan troops are also deployed in Mozambique and Central African Republic, sources say RDF fatalities in those states are “barely a handful”.

UN experts estimated in December that up to 4,000 Rwandan troops were on the ground in DRC but intelligence sources believe the figure is far higher, with possibly more than 7,000 there.

Rwandan families approached by the Guardian for comment on the conflict would not comment on the loss of their children. However, a Rwandan exiled in Europe said they had spoken to two families in the past week who had lost sons in the fighting.

They said that funerals, arranged by the military, were being conducted far more quickly than normal.

“It happens really fast. Family friends don’t get to see the deceased, as is normal in our culture,” they say, adding that the families were not told how their son died, just that it was “on the battlefield”.

Ngabo, who is exiled in France, adds: “I’ve published so many funeral notices for Rwandan soldiers killed in Congo.”

Grieving families are angry, he says. “Some were called by their sons, who said: ‘We’re leaving for Congo tomorrow, pray for me.’ Others didn’t even know their sons had been sent to fight in Congo when they got the phone call telling them to go to Kanombe to pick up the body.”

Although Rwanda has been tight-lipped about casualties across its western border, Kagame referenced RDF deaths in his recent end-of-year address, promising families that their “sacrifices shall never be in vain”.

A diplomatic source said his comments indicated the casualty rate was becoming a “very real issue”.

The Rwandan government has been contacted for comment.

Don't forget Trump's the one trying to compel us to do certain things. So, in defiance of his bullying:
1) We will continue to have an independent foreign policy, because we are not dependent on his $400 million aid;
2) we will not abandon our case against Israel at the ICJ;
3) we will remain multi-aligned, with membership of both BRICS and the G20; and
4) the final arbiter of the legality of our laws is our Constitutional Court, not the global white supremacist movement spreading misinformation online.

[/b]Army Troops Neutralize Over 50 Terrorists, Capture Tungan Fulani Hills in Zamfara[b]



The Nigerian Army Troops of Operation FANSAN
have achieved a major breakthrough in a series of encounter in the ongoing military campaign against banditry and terrorism in the North West of Zamfara State.

In one its Operation tagged FANSAR YAN BINDIGA, during a fierce battle, the troops neutralized over 50 terrorists and inflicted serious injuries on at least 25 others, including high-profile terror commanders loyal to Bello Turji and Sani Mai Nasara (Sani Black).

[/b]Among those killed were Kachallah Sanni Bammuwa, Kachallah Auta, Audu Gajere, Kabiru Jangeru, Dan-Gajere (son of Audu Jabbi), and Bako Malaika, a notorious terrorist operating around Tungan Dan Musa.

The successful assault marks the first time in years that Nigerian troops have been able to penetrate and dominate Tungan Fulani Hills, a location that had become one of the most dangerous terrorist fortresses in the Zurmi-Shinkafi axis[b]


Zagazola Makama recalled that five previous attempts by troops to access the valley had failed due to stiff terrorist resistance, resulting in casualties among troops and damage to military equipment.

The area gained notoriety following a deadly ambush in 2019, when Bello Turji and Sani Black’s fighters killed a Major and 16 soldiers who were en route to rotate troops stationed in Mashema village. After that incident, the military was forced to withdraw from Mashema District, leaving the region under terrorist control.

Similarly, on Aug. 30, 2024, Turji and Sani Black’s fighters launched another devastating attack on troops at Kwashebawa village, where they burned Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles and killed two soldiers.

Following the historic victory, Military Defense officials have vowed to sustain the offensive under the newly declared “Operation Show No Mercy. “The mission is not just to push the terrorists out but to ensure their complete elimination.

“The time for hiding is over. Bello Turji, Sani Black, and their fighters must either surrender unconditionally or face total annihilation. There will be no negotiations, no safe havens, and no escape routes,” the sources said.

The recent success is also significant because Tungan Fulani Hills serves as a key route for arms smuggling from Niger Republic and Mali, as report indicated that Turji and Sani Black had been using the hilly terrain to store weapons, plan ambushes, and conduct kidnappings along major roads. By securing the area, the Nigerian military has disrupted their supply chain and cut off their escape routes to neighboring forests.

Residents Urged to Support Security Operations

In the wake of the Tungan Fulani Hills offensive, security forces are calling on local communities to cooperate with intelligence operatives to help track down fleeing terrorists.

Military sources confirmed that troops have expanded their operations beyond Zamfara, targeting terrorist hideouts in neighboring states to prevent them from regrouping.

As Operation Show No Mercy intensifies, security agencies are urging communities to report suspicious movements and avoid providing logistics or shelter to fleeing bandits.

“The Nigerian Army, with support from the Air Force and other security agencies, is committed to eradicating terrorism in the North-West. The fight is far from over, but we have sent a strong message that there is no safe place for terrorists in Nigeria.

“This operation will not stop until every terrorist camp is destroyed, every leader is neutralized, and every fugitive is brought to justice. The choice is clear surrender now or face total destruction,” a top military sources said.

With the military’s renewed momentum, the coming weeks are expected to bring further decisive action against terrorist networks in Zamfara, Sokoto, Katsina, Kebbi, and Kaduna States.

Stay tuned with Zagazola Makama for more decisive updates
