Augugust argued today that Boko Haram has no MRAPS or such. So, tell us, are they sophisticated or not?
Actually, it is not that Boko Haram is not sophisticated, but it is that the Nigerian military is equally unsophisticated. All these things that you listed, if you aren't equal to the task, would then mean that BH is more sophisticated than your military. Your military should also be well funded or better. Your diplomacy should give you influence with your neighbours.But none of these things are possible because you are ragtag. So you give the world excuses.
It's ragtag vs ragtag at this point.
SANDF had no interest in who took over government because that was not the mission. You do know what "mission" means, don't you?

SA man at centre of CIA sting

December 27 2014 at 10:31am
By Ivor Powell


Cape Town - An infamous South African, linked to some of the most shady scandals of this century, has emerged at the centre of a US transcontinental sting operation that netted an alleged drug cartel assassin.

Paul Calder le Roux shopped former American Special Forces-trained sniper Joseph Hunter, who was arrested in Thailand in an operation spearheaded by agents from the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).

Hunter, known as Rambo, was nabbed after he was secretly taped agreeing on behalf of a group of mercenaries to assassinate a DEA informer in return for $800 000 (R9.3 million).

News of the DEA operation only surfaced last weekend in a report by the New York Times, although Hunter was arrested and taken to the US last year.

He is facing charges in connection with running a hit squad.

Dramatic as the Hunter arrest may have been, it appears to be little more than the tip of an iceberg of spy world intrigue.

According to the New York Times and DEA sources, Hunter was sold out by his former employer, Le Roux (by this time Le Roux had dropped the middle name), as part of a top secret deal with the US authorities.

Le Roux, 42, is registered as both an Australian and South African citizen, owns property in Krugersdorp, and is a director of a South African-registered company.

He came to the attention of international intelligence agencies in 2007 when he was named in a UN Somalia and Eritrea Monitoring Group (SEMG) report as sponsoring a local breakaway militia, some 200 strong, and fitting them out with illegally sourced military materiel.

In the territory controlled by his militia, Le Roux apparently constructed hi-tech greenhouses in which he allegedly planned to grow industrial quantities of opium poppy, which would be utilised to manufacture heroin for the international market.

He discreetly disappeared on the publication of the SEMG report, coming to light again operating companies in Manila in the Philippines and allegedly involved in illegal arms and the international trade in narcotics, according to US authorities.

He may also have been connected to two hits in the Philippines about which Hunter boasted in the taped negotiations around the planned hit on the DEA agent which led to his arrest.

Le Roux was secretly taken into custody by the DEA after being arrested in Liberia in 2012 in a sting in connection with a prescription painkiller scam that he allegedly masterminded.

He was then apparently turned, and is estimated to have provided information leading to the arrests of at least 11 people.

“Le Roux is a bad guy, a very bad guy,” a DEA agent is quoted in the New York Times as saying, speaking on condition of anonymity because, he said, Le Roux’s co-operation had been a secret.

“He’s Viktor Bout (the Russian illegal arms trader dubbed the Merchant of Death and currently in prison in the US) on steroids.”

Le Roux previously made news when it became known he had transferred about $12m (R139m) into the account of Ari Ben-Manashe, a former Israeli gun-runner who was linked to Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe.

This was allegedly intended for Manashe’s company to lobby support in the US for a land reform plan that would have seen Le Roux securing 99-year leaseholds on Zimbabwean farms – to huge personal profit.

But it emerged that Manashe had testified in 2002 that Zimbabwe’s Movement for Democratic Change leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, was involved in a plot to assassinate Mugabe. This claimed assassination was later discredited.

According to intelligence reports in the possession of Independent Newspapers, Le Roux was implicated in plans hatched in 2010/11 in Zimbabwe to set up a protection unit for then-Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi – aimed at accessing billions in gold bars held in secret Libyan stashes. - Weekend Argus

The force in the frontlines was very happily NOT comprised of 12 countries and yes, South Africa's footprint was quite telling in the battles. The record in the picture didn't 'just happen'. And this is one of the longest running peace-keeping missions in history, with SA having been there from the start.

Please, onto your list of battles, add the following:

"2012 - present. Nigeria against BH in Nigeria. NA frequently runs from enemy, has lost territory, loses equipment and has failed to bring back the girls."

The bolded is not your history, but your present. Who you are today. What you are. Or should I say, what you are not.

And no, you have not faced up to suicide bombers. You can't prove it cause it hasn't happened and it can never happen.

Rhino poachers have the courage and they invade Kruger park, defeat SANDF, SAAF, SA Special Forces, Rangers etc.

They kill your Rhinos and sell their horns, yet your 50 million fools called saffers cannot stop them, you hardly ever even catch them, hardly ever except a few.

50 million Southies on your knees begging Botswana to save you....500 Southie Rhinos removed to safe haven in Botswana shocked shocked
.

Rhino poaching has nothing to do with the military other than as directed. It is under environmental affairs.

But BH is squarely in your military's area responsibility. They are failing even with a state of emergency acting as a tailwind. cry

On going war, and we have k.illed thousands of Bokos and flushed them out of many cities they infiltrated, today we ruin all their armoured vehicles with impunity, the 200 girls are civilian hostages, no army in the world can rescue them without the girls getting killed, so we will smartly wait and decide.

Few weeks ago the great American special forces in Iraq tried to rescue a South African hostage, just 2 hostages and the hostages got killed.

SANDF has no experience so you would have rushed in to rescue 200 girls and they all get killed, right? Makes you a confirmed fool shocked

Sniper record kill was only reported by South Africans , one propagande source, and one wikipedia entry made by same South Africans, show us proof from UN that commanded the operations. Ya got a fake sniper record kill shocked shocked

21 Battalion SANDF, SA special forces and SAAF were all deployed in Rhino war and failed, if they had succeeded, you won't say it's not a military affair, will you? Mere local Rhino hunters dribbled SANDF and SAAF around in your own homeland, I wonder what will happen if 20,000 terrorists operate and live inside South Africa like we have in Nigeria, Jacob Zuma would have been taken hostage for ransome grin grin

"Rhino has cost South Africa a financial loss of about R228 million with the 333 rhinos poached last year alone. These are the statistics according to the Wildlife and Environment Society of South Africa (WESSA); it is for this reason and the need to protect rhinos that the country is going all out to counter poachers.

The deployment of South African National Defence Force (SANDF) members at the Kruger National Park
has brought confidence that rhino poaching can be extinguished. The SANDF deployed 265 soldiers at Kruger National Park and the borders around the park in March this year, following a plea for help by the South African National Parks (SanParks).

In an interview with Defence magazine, Colonel Nceba Bobelo, Officer Commanding for Joint Operations Tactical Headquaters in Mpumalanga, said “Operation Corona” was making a huge difference in the fight against poachers. The Army brought in its expertise to beef up a team of Park Rangers, which was overwhelmed by the by increasing killing of rhinos for their horns.

"We've got one Intelligence Tactical Regiment from Potchefstroom, which specialises in intelligence gathering. Special Forces and 21 Batallion, both in the park and on the borders," says Colonel Bobelo. The ground troops are supported by helicopters for a speedy chase of poachers. "The helicopters contribute a lot in terms of identifying areas where poachers are operating," he adds. Colone! Says that it became increasingly important to rope in the army when syndicates began using helicopters, night vision equipment and high-powered rifles in their expedition. The army is part of the National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure (NATJOINTS)
, says Colonel Bobelo."

And the "thousands of Bokos" have also flushed you out of terrotory. 'Ongoing' as you say, because you can't end it. You are not capable of ending it. You do not have what it takes.

SANDF however has the experience that has made it into record books.

Nigeria's "experience" has not prevented its being freed of equipment, of territory, of "the girls".

You cannot compare a mission of a handful of special forces in a foreign land to that of an entire military fighting at home. Or should I say pretending to be fighting at home. grin
