@Sirusblack I think you should open an unofficial twitter account or facebook page, where you can post all these pictures, because this could a very good Morale booster for Soldiers and Civilians, and you would reach a broader audience, people already on this thread and forum could easily promote it for you. A lot of people don't know what's going on out there, most of the Nigerians I know living here in S.A believe that your government is only sending in troops with old AKs and LMGs. N.A doesn't share much about their operations or the Army its self, most of these images would change the mindset of most people, and well maybe you could also censore the graphic images 2 Likes |

@Helghast...nice idea...bt I just can't juggle this work on two platforms...this campaign is all I do with my free time...another platform like twitter, and this thread will lose its value on the long run...Nairaland has been an excellent platform so far....easy to use, highly interactive and full of brilliant minds...Twitter on the other hand is full of rude, foul-mouthed, shallow-minded teenagers who don't know shi.t about Defence topics..NL is perfect. 20 Likes |

According to Sahara Reporters http://saharareporters.com/2014/07/24/nigerian-army-unable-retake-damboa-boko-haram The Incompetent Nigerian Army has been unable to retake Damboa which is unsurprising and expected, this people are beyond incompetent. Secondly, liked i mentioned, it was said that the Mi 24 (Note: NOT Mi 35) was SHOT DOWN , instead of it crashed like the DHQ Said Common people, an Air force helicopter crashed during a training mission in a CONFLICT ZONE while people know BH have AA Guns , no one does training over conflict zones especially if the belligerents in the conflict posses the weapon to shoot down your plane /helios This also confirms my suspicion, BH have the upper edge, the Army has been providing false information am sure most Nigerians don't believes ANY of the PR statements they issue and i think they lie about the casualties they suffer, i think they lower it in the PR statements (lies) 1 Like |

Guerrilla warfare "Guerrilla" and "Guerrilla War" redirect here. For the video game, see Guerrilla War (video game). For other uses, see Guerrilla (disambiguation). Not to be confused with Gorilla. Guerrilla warfare is a form of irregular warfare in which a small group of combatants such as armed civilians or irregulars use military tactics including ambushes, sabotage, raids, petty warfare, hit-and-run tactics, and mobility to fight a larger and less-mobile traditional military. Etymology Spanish guerrilla resistance to the French invasion in 1808 The term means "little war" in Spanish, and the word, guerrilla (Spanish pronunciation: [ɡeˈriʎa]), has been used to describe the concept since the 18th century, and perhaps earlier. In correct Spanish usage, a person who is a member of a guerrilla is a guerrillero ( [ɡeriˈʎeɾo]) if male, or a guerrillera if female. This term became popular during the Peninsular War, when the Spanish people rose against the Napoleonic troops and fought against a highly superior army using the guerrilla strategy. The term "guerrilla" was used in English as early as 1809, to describe the fighters (e.g., "The town was taken by the guerrillas", and also (as in Spanish) to denote a group or band of such fighters. However, in most languages guerrilla still denotes the specific style of warfare. The use of the diminutive evokes the differences in number, scale, and scope between the guerrilla army and the formal, professional army of the state. Strategy, tactics and organization Boer guerrillas during the Second Boer War in South Africa A Kurdish PKK guerrilla in Iraqi Kurdistan as part of the Kurdish–Turkish conflict, 2008 The strategy and tactics of guerrilla warfare tend to focus around the use of a small, mobile force competing against a larger, more unwieldy one.[1] The guerrilla focuses on organizing in small units, depending on the support of the local population, as well as taking advantage of terrain more accommodating of small units. Tactically, the guerrilla army would avoid any confrontation with large units of enemy troops, but seek and eliminate small groups of soldiers to minimize losses and exhaust the opposing force. Not limiting their targets to personnel, enemy resources are also preferred targets. All of that is to weaken the enemy's strength, to cause the enemy eventually to be unable to prosecute the war any longer, and to force the enemy to withdraw. It is often misunderstood that guerrilla warfare must involve disguising as civilians to cause enemy troops to fail in telling friend from foe. However, this is not a primary feature of a guerrilla war. This type of war can be practiced anywhere there are places for combatants to cover themselves and where such advantage cannot be made use of by a larger and more conventional force. Communist leaders like Mao Zedong and North Vietnamese Ho Chi Minh both implemented guerrilla warfare giving it a theoretical frame which served as a model for similar strategies elsewhere, such as the Cuban " foco" theory and the anti-Soviet Mujahadeen in Afghanistan.[2] Mao Zedong summarized basic guerrilla tactics at the beginning of the Chinese " Second Revolutionary Civil War" as: "The enemy advances, we retreat; the enemy camps, we harass; the enemy tires, we attack; the enemy retreats, we pursue."[3]:p. 124 At least one author credits the ancient Chinese work The Art of War (dating from at least 200 BC) with providing instruction in such tactics to Mao.[2]:pp. 6–7 Female Soviet partisans operating under Sydir Kovpak in Nazi-occupied Ukraine While the tactics of modern guerrilla warfare originate in the 20th century, irregular warfare, using elements later characteristic of modern guerrilla warfare, has existed throughout the battles of many ancient civilizations but in a smaller scale. This recent growth was inspired in part by theoretical works on guerrilla warfare, starting with the Manual de Guerra de Guerrillas by Matías Ramón Mella written in the 19th century and, more recently, Mao Zedong's On Guerrilla Warfare, Che Guevara's Guerrilla Warfare and Lenin's text of the same name, all written after the successful revolutions carried by them in China, Cuba and Russia respectively. Those texts characterized the tactic of guerrilla warfare as, according to Che Guevara's text, being "used by the side which is supported by a majority but which possesses a much smaller number of arms for use in defense against oppression".[4] History Main article: History of guerrilla warfare Guerrilla tactics were presumably employed by prehistoric tribal warriors against enemy tribes. Evidence of conventional warfare, on the other hand, did not emerge until 3100 BC in Egypt and Mesopotamia. Since the Enlightenment, ideologies such as nationalism, liberalism, socialism, and religious fundamentalism have played an important role in shaping insurgencies and guerrilla warfare. [5] A notable example of guerrilla warfare was during 17th century in India when the Marathas under the leadership of Chhatrapati Shivaji Raje Bhonsle (founder of the Maratha Empire) attacked the surrounding Muslim Kingdoms of Bijapur Dynasty and Qutub Shahi Empire, which had an outright numerical advantage and huge armies, but little knowledge of the geographical layout of the Western Ghats and the Deccan Plateau. He assembled small armies and constantly raided the military camps and won numerous battles even with insignificant numbers. Later, the same principle was utilized in overthrowing the titanic Mughal Empire. [6] |

egbaguy: Field Marshal siriusblack............there is no gainsaying dat the hausas were sympathetic to bokoharam @ the initial stage wjen dey were killing xtians and non hausas. They gave dem the support,they housed them. They acted as spies for them. The civilian JTF knew them when dey started..thatz y i will continue to say army officers of northern origin shudnt b in the affected areas. Sharrrrrrrrrrrrrap, boko HARAM are Kanuri people not Hausa, Mohammed Yusuf, Abubakar Shekau, Habibu Bama, Shuaibu Bama, Abu qaqa 1&2, Abu Darda are all Kanuris, even Kabiru Sokoto is from Biu but grew up in Sokoto. Borno & Yobe are the two epic center of the crisis and the only two Kanuri states we have. 90% of Hausa ppl don't understand a single word in Kanuri, likewise many Kanuris can't speak or understand Hausa. Historically we are from Othman Dan Fodio empire they the Kanuri are from Kanem Borno empire. The only binding factor btw Hausa and Kanuri is geographical location and Islam. It is like blaming ALUU massacre on Igbo people or Ijaw militancy on Igbo. Till date no top commanders of boko HARAM of Hausa extraction has been arrested or killed. The attacks and bombings in Kano are carried out by Cells sent from boko HARAM HQ in Born to create havoc. Besides boko HARAM suffered most in loss of manpower in Kano where natives expose them. Take for instance, the BUK attack two years ago was led by a Calaba man from Akwa Ibom . I'm a member of Boko Haram ; I attacked Christians at BUK ... Augustine Effiong, 25, an indigene of Akwa Ibom State. http://www.channelstv.com/2012/05/21/im-a-member-of-boko-haram-i-attacked-christians-at-buk-augustine-effiong/ The Ogbomosho, Oyo State born terrorist arrested in kano https://www.nairaland.com/939070/planned-invade-lagos-arrested-boko 1 Like |
