President Talon is the democratically elected president of Benin Republic. He requested for assistance based on Ecowas agreements and Nigeria and the Ivory Coast responded. There's nothing illegal about that.

Colonel James Yakubu Pam, who led the mission to Tanzania, was assassinated in the January 15th, 1966 coup.

If it is easy to end an insurgency, then my challenge to the mouth generals here is that they should save lives and go and show the Nigerian Armed Forces how to do it.

Also Alberto fujimori of Peru who shut down shining path and Tupac amaru

Yes! That's the person that I was trying to remember!

I followed the attack on the embassy live via the BBC World Service. I was kind of confused when the insurgents were killed, but that became the beginning of Fujimori's problems. There were claims that some of the insurgents were killed after surrendering.

It's good Nigeria is able to support, and hope some people wouldn't take advantage and want to install their tribal king? Example from Ghana made me think of it

naptu2:
What is hypocritical is calling an insurgency in which brave and gallant troops have lost their lives "simple" and making fun of their efforts. Do you belong to that crew?

If it is simple, then go and do it and save lives!




So many mouth generals here.

Yes that's what we're saying. Soldiers are not loosing their life invading other countries but loosing their life in their own country over some forest bandits politicians are protecting.
It is easy but like Trump said "disgraced country" we have many disgraceful shameless men in so many important security positions.
Why would you not tag it as not simple when disgraceful politicians choose to negotiate with terrorists and absorbed them into our military forces.

LOL.

So much for a country that witnessed about 7 successful military coups and had military rule for almost 2 decades in total.

How many nations intervened in restoring “Democracy” militarily during those causes.

These same people condemning the coup, actually supported a person that overthrew a democratically elected government in 1983 to become president for 8 solid years.

It's easy, yet you cannot do it?

It's easy, yet the Americans could not end the insurgency in Iraq (22 years after invading)?

It's easy but the British could not defeat the IRA for over 30 years?

It's easy but Spain could not defeat ETA??

It's easy, yet Obasanjo, Yar'Adua, Goodluck Jonathan, Buhari and Tinubu have not been able to stop it??

These mouth generals are not serious and I think I'm going to start blocking them.

YOU ARE EITHER WI CKED OR YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING, BECAUSE IT'S EASY FOR YOU, YET YOU HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO STOP THE INSURGENCY

I bet these mouth generals don't even know what asymmetric warfare is about.

obi4eze:
I am really ashamed and embarrassed at the comment of the OP. All my respect for him/her just flew out of the windows. Just imagine the insensitive comment such person is making about security of lives and property especially considering the amount of lives lost to incessant killings.

Who your useless respect help, army dey sell form.

Please let us have good things to say about our Army, they are trying.May God bless Nigerian Army!!!!!!!

It's fascinating to see Nigeria playing a crucial peace-keeping role in Tanganyika right after their mutiny! This moment, before the formation of Tanzania, really highlights the early solidarity and cooperation among independent African nations. 🌍

Lanretoye:
go and join army now,he say na CBN or NNPC he wan join…sorry o,dead people right activist…as if they really care about the dead people or they just look for every opportunity to disparage the government.

Your family is next maybe you think death is something to joke with

ZombieDredd:
This comment is disgusting really.

You can't be living. Hypocritical life and be bold and arrogant about it.

But you are a member of the Armed Forces naaaa, why you no solve the problem?

kingbee90:
It's a shame that Nigeria can not solve a lesser terrorism issue that has been disturbing this nation for decades which has taken the lives of many civilians and many gallant military officers.
But they send dozens of fighters and airforce jets to foil coup attempts in other African countries.

That's hypocrisy at it's peak.

Terrorism is not lesser. Its a belief that cut across religion, civil n military personalties

Right, I have eaten and I have taken my drugs. From this point on, I am going to block all the people that have been paid to spread political non sense online.

I will block everybody that tries to derail my thread.

I will block all the mouth generals that can talk but can't do anything (those that know nothing about insurgencies and asymmetric warfare).

And I will block all those that mock our dead troops by claiming that fighting insurgents is simple (something that great powers like the UK, Spain, France and the United States took decades to do and still couldn't win).

This is my last post about insurgency (because that's not the topic of the thread. If you want to learn about insurgency, google all the names in this post.

naptu2:
Memories.

Let's see how many I can name from memory.

These things lasted many years and when you hear these names every day for 30 or 40 years, they get burned into your brain.

I'm not going to include the Europeans, because I've made a separate post about them (or, maybe I'll quote my old post at the end). I might also add the Africans later.


1) Shining Path

2) Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (aka Tamil Tigers).

3) Moro Liberation Movement

4) Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement.

5) Sandinistas vs Contras

Maybe that's the benefit of violence, who knows?


I usually included The Parti Québécois in my list of such parties back in the 1980s and '90s, but I've usually failed to include them in such lists since the 1990s. It's almost as if I have forgotten them. Now I think it's because they were never linked to violence (that's why I've forgotten them).

---

naptu2:
Now let's look at propaganda videos.












There are certain terrorist organisations that have or are linked to political parties. I remember compiling a list of such parties and organisations in the 1980s. These are the ones that I can still remember.

Herri - Batasuna and ETA: The Euskadi Ta Askatasuna is a terrorist organisation that had a bombing campaign in Spain and France in order to win independence for the Basque Region of both countries. Its attacks were mainly carried out in Spain, but it also launched attacks in France. Herri Batasuna is a political party that advocates for the independence of the Basque Region of Spain. The party has won seats in elections into the Spanish and Basque regional parliaments, but it always refuses to take up those seats. The party has been banned a few times because it is viewed as the political wing of ETA.


Fattha and the PLO: The Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO) is an umbrella organisation of Palestinian liberation organisations. The PLO carried out terrorist attacks against Israel and its allies in the 1970s and '80s. Fattah is the dominant group within the PLO and since the 1994 peace agreement, it has contested elections for positions in the Palestinian Authority and in fact, it has controlled the PA for greater period of time since then. Although the PLO reached a peace agreement with Israel, some of its component factions still view violence as a means of achieving their aims.

Sinn Fein and the IRA: Sinn Fein is a mainly Catholic and Republican political party that advocates for the unification of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. The party mainly operates in Northern Ireland. In the past, Sinn Fein won seats in the Northern Ireland Assembly, but it refused to take up those seats. However, in recent times, especially after the peace agreement, it now takes fills its seats in the assembly. They have also won seats in the United Kingdom Parliament in London, but they have always refused to take up those seats. The Irish Republican Army is a terrorist organisation that ran a violent campaign to remove Northern Ireland from the United Kingdom and unite it with the Republic of Ireland. Many people see Sinn Fein as the political wing of the IRA, even though both groups do not publicly admit their ties. The former British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, was one of the people that believed that Sinn Fein and the IRA were one and the same. This was the reason why her government banned the voices of Sinn Fein leaders, including their chairman, Gerry Adams, from being broadcast in the UK. The government likened broadcasting the voices of Sinn Fein leaders to providing a platform for terrorist propaganda.

Hezbollah and Hezbollah: Hezbollah (the Party of God) is a triple purpose organisation. It is a political party, a terrorist group and a charity organisation all rolled into one. The organisation is often mentioned in Nigeria because of its charitable activities. Hezbollah was formed in the 1980s to combat the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. It is heavily backed by Iran and its military wing has grown to become even bigger than the Lebanese Army. It often fires Katyusha rockets into Israel in reprisal for Israeli actions. This often prompts the Israeli military to invade Lebanon and obviously this leads to regular battles between Hezbollah and the Israeli Army. Hezbollah's political wing has often won seats in the Lebanese Parliament and they have massive support among the Lebanese people. In Nigeria, Hezbollah was often talked about in the 1980s and again in the early 2000s because of its charitable activities. The organisation builds and runs numerous schools and hospitals in Lebanon. It also donates food, medical supplies and other goods to the poor. Obviously this is not being done because the organisation is altruistic. Rather, I believe that it's simply part of the group's propaganda war (in order to win the hearts and minds of the Lebanese people). Back during the Niger Delta militant campaign, some Nigerians complained that the militants were simply enriching themselves and doing nothing for the poor in the Niger Delta and they compared them to what Hezbollah was doing for the poor in Lebanon.


Now to the propaganda video. This video was created by Sinn Fein. The video is titled, "The Gate That Opens Once A Year" and it is designed to show that the Orange Order marchers are the cause of the trouble in Northern Ireland.

I have previously posted videos of the confrontations between Protestant Orange Order marchers and Catholic residents in Northern Ireland. In order to reduce the likelihood of skirmishes, the government erected huge walls, barriers and gates between Protestant and Catholic neighbourhoods in the late 1990s. However, they occasionally open the gates to allow the Orange Order marchers to cross into the Catholic neighbourhoods. The video attempts to show that Catholic residents are suffering because the Protestants stubbornly insist on coming to their neighbourhoods. It shows that Catholic neighbourhoods are inundated with heavily armed riot police, soldiers, armoured vehicles, helicopters, etc every year and that this has a negative effect on the residents. It says that the residents obviously don't want the Protestant marchers, so why do they keep coming. It says that the Protestants are unnecessarily creating tension in what is supposed to be a peaceful neighbourhood.

Military coup of civilians government is the real violation of people's rights.

I honestly don't know why most Obidients are actively supporting coups.

I'm 100% certain none of you would support having a military sole administrator any state in the East.

I asked a question that doesn't relate to coup, and you are talking another thing?

With your logic, anyone shouting sovereignty and against Trump's threat to eliminate terrorists is also in support of terrorists?

With your logic, the end justifies the means?

"That's hypocrisy at it's peak", and BUHARI WAS A SUPER COUPIST.

Didn't I read well ? l didn't see Sierra Leone in the list. I was in Freetown when Nkrumah's coup took place and Abacha ordered him to leave and he refused, forcing Abacha to send Nigerian ttroops.When they started attacking Nigerians for Abacha's intervention, grace of God we were able to leave Freetown via helicopter taxis that operate in all big hotels in Freetown.

What are you even saying typing rubbish. What is the point of calling people mouth general, I believe you got issue and what is the aim of your post? Past glory and nigeria can't redeem herself. You are one of the problems you attack everyone that oppose your post and respond like a little kid.. grow up man.

Mouth experts.

Ignore them. When we tell thm go to school, No.

Read books and history, No.

Use your brain, No

Talk with commonsense, No

Surprisingly most of them don't even know where they belong. So we have told them whoever not please with Nigeria intervention in Benin coup can pls head to court we will meet them in the court.

You see, my question is a very simple one, but none of them can answer it.

Boko Haram was created in 2002. We have had many governments since then and Boko Haram has continued to exist. Many lives have been lost, yet some people say that it is simple.

If it is simple and you are a human being, why have you not prevented the loss of lives and stopped it, since it is simple to you?

None of them can answer it, they just keep trying to divert attention. Look at some of them up there!

If you know the difference between pitched battles and guerilla warfare, then you wouldn't have made this statement. Go and learn why the US couldn't solve the problem of terrorism in Afghanistan and Iraq to the point they had to withdraw their troops.
