Nigeria: Chad Forces Reclaim Gamboru-Ngala
[VOA News] On Saturday, Chadian forces reclaimed the northeastern Nigerian town of Gamboru-Ngala, after a heated battle with Boko Haram... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... that involved a ground and air campaign. Gamboru-Ngala, about 145 kilometers east of Maiduguri, was captured by Boko Haram last year. A soldier involved in the operation said Chadian forces were working under the African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... agreement for member states to help Nigeria in its fight against Boko Haram. The African Union has agreed to move forward with a proposal to send 7,500 troops to fight the Boko Haram insurgency. Posted by: Fred 2015-02-02 |
