French general is sure that Boko Haram sect is showing
early signs of weakening.

Speaking with Reuters October 26, General Jean-Pierre
Palasset shared the opinion that the terrorists’ strength
peaked, even despite the fact that after the announcement of
the alleged ceasefire on October 17, Boko Haram carried
out several deadly raids.

According to him, Borno State capital Maiduguri was in danger
of having been captured by the insurgents last month,
however since then the situation has changed.

“The pressure’s coming off near Maiduguri. Apart from a few
border villages Boko Haram is very much contained in Borno.”
Palasset leading France’s Operation Barkhane focuses on
fighting Islamic militants in the Sahel a sparsely populated
arid strip running the breadth of West Africa. Additionally,
they conduct surveillance on Boko Haram whose stronghold is
located not far from their base.

Palasse mentioned however that they do not indulge into
military action, which can only be done on the order from
Paris.

It would be recalled that last month numerous reports said
that Boko Haram plan to seize Maiduguri, after they had
captured scores of communities in the North-East states.

Following this Nigerian military and the terrorists carried out
continued counter-attacks, as a result of which some towns
were recaptured.

October 17 the Nigerian authorities and Boko Haram allegedly
concluded a ceasefire agreement , according to which more
than 200 Chibok abducted in April would also be released.

What was expected to be a peace deal, was followed by
several attacks, which cast a doubt on the agreement
effectiveness.
