Boko Haram 'driven Out' Of Northeastern Nigerian Town by liljboy(op): 10:44am On Mar 19, 2015
Soldiers from Niger and Chad have taken the
Nigerian town of Damasak from Boko Haram,
another victory in a regional campaign to
wrest back control of swaths of northeastern
Nigeria from the armed group.
Damasak, a few kilometres over the border
from Niger, was taken from Boko Haram's
control over the weekend, a spokesman for
Niger's army, Colonel Michel Ledru, said on
Wednesday.
In heavy fighting, 228 rebel fighters were
killed and one soldier from Niger died, Ledru
said. Vehicles and motor cycles riddled with
bullets littered the streets.
An Associated Press photographer in the
northeastern town said it was largely
deserted of civilians.
Four people, including an old man, came onto
the street to wave at a convoy among 2,000
troops from Niger and Chad in the town.
There were still signs of the town's
occupation by the rebels. Their writings were
scrawled on every wall and the groups' black
and white flag still flew above some buildings.
A group of Chadian troops transferred
weapons confiscated from Boko Haram into a
pick-up truck truck. They were then taken to
helicopters for transport to Niger.
The weapons included AK47 assault rifles and
50-calibre guns, rocket-propelled grenades
and mortar shells.
The Nigerian armed group seized Damasak
with little resistance on November 24, when
residents reported that the rebels drove in
flinging firebombs and improvised explosive
devices.
Boko Haram has been fighting a six-year
insurgency to create an Islamic state and had
taken control of large parts of Nigeria's
northeast during the past year.
