African Coalition Prepares For Boko Haram Offensive by Islie(op): 12:19am On Feb 20, 2015

Niger, Chad, and Cameroon are seeking to undermine Boko Haram fighters in Nigeria ahead of a ground-and-air offensive by a regional taskforce due to start from the end of next month, a senior Niger military official said.

Military chiefs will meet in the Chadian capital N’Djamena next week to finalise strategy for the 8,700-strong taskforce of troops from the African coalition, said Colonel Mahamane Laminou Sani, director of documentation and military intelligence of Niger’s armed forces.

“All we are doing right now is stopping Boko Haram from entering Niger: if they attack our positions we push them back a certain distance and Nigeria pushes from the other side to contain the situation,” he said on Wednesday, on the sidelines of the annual US-sponsored ‘Flintlock’ counter-terrorism exercises in Chad.

“There are initiatives by our countries to make sure Boko Haram doesn’t get out of control but we have a deadline of end-March to put the joint force into practice,” he added.

Boko Haram, which has killed thousands of people in a six-year rebellion in Nigeria, has fought fierce battles with the three countries’ armies in southern Niger and northern Cameroon, near Nigeria’s borders, in recent weeks.

Honestly, they must have been to hell and back. I pray they are returned safe and unhurt. The next government shall send all of them abroad for a comprehensive rehabilitation.
