Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Boko Haram goes on jihad rampage through Nigeria and Chad, killing 150 soldiers

Mar 28, 2020 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Despite boasting by the Nigerian government about how it will soon defeat Boko Haram, the group continues to grow and become ever more deadly. This week, it “killed at least 92 Chadian soldiers in the deadliest attack on the nation’s forces,” as well as “at least 50 Nigerian troops in a separate attack.”

Related to these attacks is Boko Haram’s jihad against Christians, which has included door-to-door murder sprees and beheadings. All this violence is intended to advance the group’s goal of transforming Nigeria into an Islamic state.

“Boko Haram Kills Nearly 150 Soldiers in Attack on Two Countries,” by Gabrielle Reyes, Breibart, March 25, 2020:

Boko Haram terrorists killed at least 92 Chadian soldiers in the deadliest attack on the nation’s forces, Chad President Idriss Deby Itno said on Tuesday. The group killed at least 50 Nigerian troops in a separate attack.

Chadian forces were attacked overnight Sunday into Monday on an island army base on Boma Peninsula, located in the Lac province near the border with Nigeria and Niger, according to Deby. The assault demonstrates Boko Haram’s expanding jihadist campaign in this region, part of the vast Lake Chad area.

“We lost [at least] 92 of our soldiers, noncommissioned officers and officers. It’s the first time we have lost so many men,” Deby noted.

A jihadist terrorist organization, Boko Haram started a revolt in Nigeria in 2009 before launching raids in neighboring countries to the east. During their more than decade-long insurgency, Boko Haram extremists have killed tens of thousands and displaced millions. They have carried out numerous attacks in the Lake Chad region linking Chad, Nigeria, Cameroon, and Niger….

Boko Haram carried out a separate attack on Monday in Nigeria, killing at least 50 Nigerian soldiers in an ambush near Goneru village in northern Yobe state, military officials confirmed on Tuesday.

The Nigerian military was attempting an offensive against Boko Haram over the weekend when the terrorist group ambushed its forces. The armed militant group fired on military vehicles with rocket-propelled grenades and assault weapons….

    Sounds like Nigeria and Chad should consider adopting Boko Haram’s obviously more effective military tactics.

    No military can be defeated by a great defense.

    Offensive attacks win wars.

      nigeria is likely the most Evil Corrupt nation on planet Earth. Now. 2020.
      that said. recall Biafra? ask some internet qstns re Biafra. Endless info/intell is avlbl since this northern nigerian ‘genocide’ began 1968.
      1 consistent nigerian federal govt failure(tracked since 1968) is govt Total Fail/Abuse of their Armed Forces members.. from ‘bottom’ to Top. the pay roll is not real.
      so? in Africa.. esp 2020 africa ..killing in the name of anything ! beats being killed for Sport or being starved to death.. or being in need of med care for say an ulcer..fatal illness in any nigerian hospital..2020.
      ask yourself why? the CEO of ‘twitter’ .. Jack .. just christened nigeria as .. the New Hi Tech Lead Nation on Earth?
      Jack.. like Bill Clinton is a gdmn pedophile. Nigeria is the Most Evil Nation on Earth..

    As Lt. Col. Allen West says, “They are doing exactly what this book says”.

    “Chadian forces were attacked overnight Sunday into Monday on an island army base”

    On an island?
