Amaq claimed that ISIS terrorists had also entered the nearby town of Mainok and had stayed there for around 15 hours before withdrawing back to their hideouts.
The attack was the most recent one in a series of operations by ISIS in Borno. On April 16, a base near the town of Camuya was stormed by the terrorist group’s cells. On April 18, the terrorists raided a second base in the town of Dikwa.
In a recent report, ISIS claimed that its cells in West Africa killed 61 soldiers and civilians between April 13 and 22 only. Most of the attacks took place in Nigeria’s Borno.
Silly Nigerians. So the CIA sets a camp up in Niger and Chad plus several other ISIS camps by Mozambique.
CIA trains ISIS listens to Nigerian military communications and relays the info to ISIS
So ISIS is effective at killing Nigerian solders.
Gee whiz, I wonder which country with a history of deconstructing other sovereign states rich in oil wealth (with a view to using the chaos to leverage some degree of control over those resources) and with a history of supporting Islamic terrorists since 1979/80 (and with a history of electing quarter-to-half-wit presidents unable to truthfully address this fact) and with military intel posts already well-established in sub-Sahara Africa might be involved with supporting these terrorists? Can someone please help me with this conundrum? I’m pretty sure it’s not Iceland.
Strange a people who are so personally violent can’t effectively organize and implement State controlled violence.
