How Troops Killed Scores Of Boko Haram/ISWAP Fighters In Sambisa Forest
[SAHARAREPORTERS] The Nigerian Army says troops of Operation Desert Sanity have killed an unspecified number of 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...
(BH) and Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
West Africa Province (ISWAP) snuffies in Borno State.

According to the army on its Twitter page, several enclaves of the snuffies around Ukuba and Zairo in Sambisa forest were also destroyed.

"Ongoing offensive clearance operations records another feat as troops of Operation Desert Sanity destroyed ISWAP/BokoHaram enclaves around Ukuba & Camp Zairo in Sambisa forest, Borno State. Several snuffies were neutralized as troops recovered equipment & weapons," the army tweeted.

Since the death of JAS leader, Abubakar Shekau
...the lunatic leader of Boko Haram who has been reported dead at least eleven times, pledged his body and soul to ISIS, told his fighters to hang it up once or twice, and been fired by the Caliph and refused to step down. Last seen in 2017, sneaking into Cameroon while wearing a burka...
, ISWAP has been consolidating its grip in locations around Lake Chad.

Last year, it appointed Wali Sani Shuwaram, a 45-year-old as the new Leader (Wali) of ISWAP in Lake Chad.

Nigerian forces obliterated Shuwaram at a hideout around Kirta Wulgo near the Marte Local Government Area of Borno State recently.

Bako Gorgore, a top ISWAP commander was said to be in line to become the new leader.

Shuwaram died months after installation in Kurnawa, Lake Chad.

US Sanctions Six Nigerians Convicted For Sponsoring Boko Haram Terrorism
[SAHARAREPORTERS] The United States has sanctioned six Nigerians convicted by an Abu Dhabi Federal Court of Appeal in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) over alleged funding of Boko Haram

terrorism.

The convicts were tried and convicted in 2019 after being found guilty of funding the deadly sect.

Two of the convicts, Surajo Abubakar Muhammad and Saleh Yusuf Adamu were sentenced to life imprisonment while the remaining four, Ibrahim Ali Alhassan, AbdurRahman Ado Musa, Bashir Ali Yusuf and Muhammad Ibrahim Isa were handed ten-year imprisonment respectively.

Court documents also showed that between 2015 and 2016, the convicts were involved in different cash transfers allegedly in favour of Boko Haram to the tune of USD782,000

However,
some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them...
the U.S, in a statement by Department of States spokesperson, Ned Price said Musa, Adamu, Yusuf, Isa, Alhassan and Muhammad had been added to the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons, pursuant to Executive Order 13224, as amended, for having materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of, Boko Haram.

The statement reads, "Today’s action follows the United Arab Emirates’ prosecutions, convictions, and designations of these individuals for supporting terrorism. The Department of State designated Boko Haram as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation and Specially Designated Global Terrorist organization on November 14, 2013.

Saudi-led coalition launches retaliatory strikes on Yemen
[IsraelTimes] The Saudi-led coalition early is launching Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s "against sources of threat in Sanaa and Hodeida" following attacks by Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
i Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...

in the kingdom, the official Saudi news agency SPA tweets.

"The military operation will continue until its objectives are achieved," the coalition says in a statement quoted by SPA.

The strikes come a day after an attack by Yemeni rebels on an oil facility near Jeddah which set off a huge fire.

#2  The Saudis should take lessons from Putin on how to deal with pesky neighbors who won't surrender.

#3  ^The coalition is basically the Saudis and the UAE backed specifically by the USA. 400,000 people are thought to have died so far, mostly from hunger and preventable diseases like cholera. Roughly 11,000 of these are estimated to be children. Our support for the war began during the Obama administration and continues to this day, like a cancer on the American soul.

#4  And before anyone says anything: I'm not a Russian troll. I've been here since the beginning after 9-11. I don't like the war in Yemen; which doesn't mean I support in Russians in Ukraine.
