Chad troops enter Nigeria in offensive against Boko Haram

on February 03, 2015 / in News 12:43 pm / Comments

Chadian ground troops on Tuesday crossed into Nigeria for the first time as part of an offensive against Boko Haram Islamists, an AFP correspondent saw.

Armoured vehicles and infantry crossed a bridge that links the Cameroonian town of Fotokol with Nigerian town of Gamboru, which has been taken back over the weekend from the jihadists who occupied it for several months, according to Nigerian national security spokesman Mike Omeri. Up till now, the Chad military had conducted air strikes against the militants.

CANDLE NATION!!!....THIS IS YOUR WORLD CLASS INSTITUTION?


All apparently not well at the Infantry School

Written by Kim Helfrich, Tuesday, 03 February 2015
Alklegations of abuse at Infantry SchoolAllegations of assault and verbal abuse have again surfaced at the SA Army’s Infantry School at Oudtshoorn.

The base in the Klein Karoo town does not have the best of reputations as a military training institution and has been singled out by Sandu (SA National Defence Union) as “notorious for its bad leadership and high troop casualty count”.

It has in recent times apparently seen recruits, including women, humiliated, while a recruit was found dead, apparently of hypothermia. A punitive training session last year saw a board of enquiry set up to investigate whether officers or instructors went too far after several recruits reportedly had to undergo medical treatment following the session.

Also last year, an apparent confrontation between police and soldiers outside a shebeen led to another official enquiry. The incident allegedly was sparked by intimidation by a senior Army officer to have arrested soldiers released from police custody.

Now Sandu, in the form of its national secretary Pikkie Greeff, said it is “gravely concerned about increasing reports of recruits being physically assaulted and verbally abused” at the Oudtshoorn military base.

Complaints reaching the military trade union include instructors jumping on the backs and chests of male and female recruits, refusing medical attention to recruits with open wounds and[b] racist verbal abuse.
[/b]
Other complaints are that certain recruits have been refused the right to tender their resignations and are forced to remain at the base against their will. At the same time they are forced to take part in training and subjected to more abuse,” he said.

Greeff said the union has no problem with tough military training but “outright thuggery, verbal and physical abuse and criminal conduct by instructors is condemned in the strongest terms”.

He maintains the SA National Defence Force (SANDF) has done “very little” to address the Oudtshoorn situation. This is despite recommendations apparently made by the Military Ombud.

Brigadier General Xolani Mabanga, Director: Corporate Communication, said: “The SANDF is not in a position to respond to allegations made by Sandu in its statement without any verification of the allegations and/or facts”.

He indicated the defence force had seen and read Sandu’s statement.

We don't need tanks? Boko Haram is running like SANDF when they see Nigerian T-72 tanks !

South Africa sells T-72 tanks? You imported them from where and how many units? Then what numbers have you sold? What is the name of the South African company selling them and how many do they have in stock?

Butt Hurt Southie....Nigeria has battalions of T-72 tanks including best versions with double ERA armour in layers, with a 125mm main gun that will eat up all SANDF Olifant tanks for breakfats grin

Your Olifants fvck around with old calibre 105mm guns, NA T-72 fights with 125mm guns, we will roast SANDF like barbacue !
.

T-72 A.T.E which is an upgrade that makes it fully 3rd gen, its done by A.T.E (same people who do the super-hind).

You dont have "battalions" of T-72's, you have a very limited number

Your T-72 has only got ERA - Olifant has composite armor. Plus, you will never see the Olifant, Ratel-ZTE will be hunting them as soon as they are spotted

Olifant has more modern systems than the T-72's you have in service

What makes institutions word class is not the absolute absence of ill-discipline, but it is what is done about it when it crops up.

In Nigeria, things get swept under the carpet, but in South Africa they get dealt with.

Chadian aircraft have struck Boko Haram positions in the Nigerian border town of Gamboru for a second straight day.

Two military choppers pounded targets in Gamboru for about two hours on Sunday, setting off loud explosions and sending thick clouds of smoke into the sky, an Agence France-Presse reporter said from the town of Fotokol about 500 metres away.

The town in far northeastern Nigeria, on the border with Cameroon, was already strafed by two Chadian fighter jets on Saturday.
