The anti-Boko Haram coalition in the region around northeastern Nigeria are claiming major successes, but the death tolls continue to mount, after the Chad Army claimed over 200 Boko Haram fighters killed on Tuesday in northeast Nigeria, chasing others into Cameroon.
But fighters don’t just go into Cameroon without doing anything, and reports out of the border town of Fotokol say that Boko Haram fighters arrived Wednesday morning, and went house-to-house, massacring over 100 people.
Chad and Cameroon have both contributed thousands of troops to the anti-Boko Haram battle, and while they occasionally claim gaudy kill counts in attacks, it doesn’t seem to be doing anything to slow Boko Haram’s massacres.
If anything, the attacks on the group seem to be riling them up, and then forcing them into moving into other areas, where they take it out on the civilians in those areas. Years of such offensives have left much of northeast Nigeria a total wreck, with Boko fighters going more or less wherever they please, wiping out villages on a fairly regular basis, and killing thousands.
How come the US isn't ready to invade?
With 3000 troops in Liberia allegedly sent to "fight Ebola", what makes you think the US isn't ready to invade?
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE OR RATHER IN AFRICA. The Boko was a mere nuisance And beingreduced to at most 200 people under their control, had gotten its butt kicked into a small enclave that they hardly ever strayed from. They were judged as criminal organization by nations near them until comes US advisors and its well funded Mercenary Black African Foreign Legion and all hell breaks out in a few thousand square miles so that today they have , by US military count, hundreds if not thousands of followers? One years killing since US intervention =20 years prior troubles.
