Cameroonian and Chadian forces say they have killed over 250 Boko Haram militants.
On Wednesday, forces from Cameroon said they killed about 50 militants in a battle at a border town between Cameroon and Nigeria. Boko Haram has been attacking northern Nigeria and had started to affect towns in Cameroon. Wednesday, Boko Haram militants fought with Cameroonian troops in the town of Fotokol. Cameroonian officials say that at least 50 militants and six soldiers were killed in the fight.
Armed forces in Chad reported to have killed at least 200 Boko Haram militants on Tuesday. State media as well as military officials confirmed the numbers. Chad’s forces attacked the Boko Haram bases of Ngara and Gambaru in northern Nigeria. They lost nine soldiers to the militants during the attack.
The regional forces of Niger, Nigeria, Chad, and Cameroon have contributed thousands of troops in order to combat the growing threat of Boko Haram. Chad is considered one of the strongest militaries in the region and has been conducting air strikes on Boko Haram territories for the past few days. Though Nigeria is no longer alone in the battle against the militant group, the country makes it clear that it will remain completely autonomous and not be influenced by the governments of its neighboring countries.
Nigeria is currently the biggest nation in Africa in both economy and population. Many of its resources come from its oil fields. Further, presidential elections will take place on February 14, and many believe that the current president, Goodluck Jonathan, will regain office. Though President Jonathan received criticism for not responding effectively to the militant threat, most of his supporters are not directly affected by the Boko Haram activities in the northern region of Nigeria. Thousands of Nigerians who live in the northern region, however, will most likely be unable to vote because of the instability and danger created by Boko Haram.
Some dangerous fanatics need killin. Being nice to your tormentors is seen as weakness. Just Do It!
oh rah!
When we send our troops in, we too need to be killing every terrorist we encounter. Like Biden says, you take up arms or threaten us, you die.
That’s how you do it alrighty. Kill them all!
Congratulations to them. Keep up the good work.

Sounds like they took a page from Winston Churchill’s book.
But diversity suffered! Where’s the tolerance?
I glad they are operating under the ROE of “no mercy for the merciless.”
This is the ONLY way to deal with Islam even though I really hate to say that. I would like to show mercy to them, but all they desire and live for is judgment in the form of death, destruction, and suffering.
Their m.o. is the ends justifies the means (anything unethical no matter how bad is justified) who live by the sword and thus should die by the sword.
This is the ONLY fitting end for Islam unless they all decide to convert to a truly peaceful religion and actually live peacefully and ethically.
> many believe that the current president, Goodluck Jonathan, will regain office.
Muhammadu Buhari won the election, took office in May.
soetoro’s gonna be pissed.

250 good Muslims.
70 years ago the US knew what total war was and knew it must win.
Depleting the enemy of its ranks is the ONLY way to go with Muslim terrorists.
If Obama had imicrogram of brain matter he would send in 100 B-52s to destroy ISIS but, alas, he will not.
I don't believe we any longer have 100 active B-52s in service. More like sixty.
i’d like it to be true but how likely is it that they lost so few and killed 250? Those countries in that fight are desperate good news. I wouldn’t put it past their governments to exaggerate.
This is how you do it. You kill the enemy. You don’t take one or two out with a million dollar missile. You obliterate them. We should be doing this but our soldiers have to worry more about being called racists, arrested for murder, or prosecuted by their CIC.
Stonewall Jackson would approve
The black flag is the road to victory
