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 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.

After visiting the site of the attack in Boma, Deby addressed the tragedy on state television late Tuesday.

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.
