ProfTournesol 956 Posted February 3, 2015 (BBC) Boko Haram crisis: Chad's troops enter Nigeria Chadian troops have entered Nigeria to join the battle against militant Islamist group Boko Haram.Armoured vehicles and infantry crossed a bridge from Cameroon following air strikes and mortar attacks on Boko Haram positions, officials say. Fighting focused on the key north-eastern town of Gamboru, Nigerian security spokesman Mike Omeri said. Chad's deepening involvement shows how the conflict with Boko Haram is taking a regional dimension. Last week, Chadian troops reportedly moved into Malumfatori, a Nigerian town which lies near the borders of Chad and Niger, after a ground and air assault against the militants.

ProfTournesol 956 Posted March 10, 2015 (Vice News) Is This the 'Final Push'? Chad and Niger Enter Nigeria to Tackle Boko Haram Niger and Chad sent troops backed by warplanes and artillery into northeastern Nigeria this weekend, reportedly capturing two towns as part of a fresh offensive against Islamic militant group Boko Haram.Troops gathered at the Niger border before launching the attack, and officials now claim to now control the towns of Malam Fatouri and Damasa — the latter of which lies six miles inside Nigerian territory. "We have kicked the enemy out of these areas and they are now under our control," a Niger military source told Reuters. He also said that about 300 Boko Haram militants had been killed, and that the armies had received permission from Nigeria to launch the attacks. A Chadian military source told Reuters that around 10 soldiers had been killed, while 20 were wounded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
almanzo 144 Posted March 24, 2015 It's just a damned tragedy, for all parts involved. Poverty and desperation makes it quite easy to radicalize the young... If you have no prospects of a future, it's easy to see how one could join a group that at least claims to fight to restore morality and order... A convenient way to vent the hate of thousands on to innocents in order to gain power. Same thing with IS, it's just tragic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ProfTournesol 956 Posted April 30, 2015 (BBC) Islamic State strengthens ties with Boko Haram The Islamic State (IS) has released a new video, eulogising Nigeria's Boko Haram, in the latest sign of closer ties between the two militant groups. Images posted on IS-linked social media accounts refer to Boko Haram as the Islamic State's West Africa Province (Iswap) - a catchy name aimed at showing that it has expanded beyond the Middle East and North Africa. IS accepted a pledge of allegiance from Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau in March, giving the group its first foothold in sub-Saharan Africa in its efforts to create a global caliphate.

The thing about that is, it's true. You have a large amount of borderline poor with nothing going for them. An extremist group comes along and either persuades or forces them to join their ranks and lists a set of perks they get if they join them. What do you think the poor are going to do? They either die, or join them and gain a sense of power, wealth, and direction. Now obviously, it's not a good direction, but most of the time, it's easy to fool such people into thinking it's the right way to go, and everything else is evil, and bad. Look at North Korea. The Kim Dynasty has kept it's people on their side, dividing the Korea's for a long time. The North Korean regime also uses Youth tactics to keep the kids views on their side, by teaching them while their young, that America and other nations around them are the ultimate evil, and this, and that. It's the same concept. And while sure, their are victims, sadly, when a group of people like that is brainwashed at a young age, and have no other way to turn, their stuck there, and at that point they choose that path, much like many of those in Boko Haram, it's clear that their death is the only way to fix it. You can't take an extremist and turn him into a hard working citizen again. That's nearly impossible, and it's sad, tragic. But, that's the harsh truth of a twisted war like that. The only logical answer is to behead the extremist group, and i'm not talking about taking out their leaders like what most countries do, aim for their chain of command. They instead, need to be completely, 100% wiped out. Sadly this is what needs to be done. No one will do it though, they believe war has evolved to a point where their tactics are based off of Head man assassinations, and the rest will all surrender. Of course it weakens the group, bad leadership can alone be the death of an organized force, maybe. But a Guerrilla force like ISIS and Boko Haram? Not so much. It doesn't take a few smart leaders to storm into a few towns and kidnap hundreds of woman, and sell them to ISIS. IT doesn't take a smart leader to torch a town of thousands, and simply kill everyone and run away afterwards. The only way to deal with a rebel group like this is complete annihilation. I believe that's what Chad, Nigeria, and other partner nations have been looking to do recently, with a collection of a few arrests, which is always good. Perhaps they would receive large amounts of information from them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
