A new video uploaded Tuesday by Boko Haram shows several militants, their faces covered with scarves, claiming that the militant group is in control of their territory and that African coalition armies have not made meaningful advances in the days since President Muhammadu Buhari's inauguration on Friday. The video pokes fun of claims from the Nigerian military that it has reduced Boko Haram's capabilities in recent months.

The video has three parts: One in which a speaker claims control over Maiduguri in Northeastern Nigeria and that they are in possession of military ID cards of dead Nigerian soldiers, another with militants fighting in a field and shooting fallen soldiers, and a third with the militants inspecting what they claim is a downed jet.

The video follows a string of attacks since Friday that have left dozens dead in northeastern Nigeria. A suicide bombing Tuesday killed up to 20 people at a cattle market in Maiduguri, and 30 people were killed in fighting over the weekend, the Associated Press reported. Heavy gunfire and bombing was heard elsewhere in Maiduguri Tuesday.

The video is intended to signal that Boko Haram still has strength, according to Peter Pham, head of the Atlantic Council's Africa Center. "As underscored by the string of attacks around Maiduguri and other northeastern towns over the weekend and continuing into this week, it is clear that Boko Haram is far from a spent force. Although there is no indication of when the footage in the video was shot, the timing of the release reinforces this message of an organization that remains a force to be reckoned with," he said. "President Buhari has a significant challenge ahead of him as the group continues to evolve and adapt, demonstrating again the resilience that has always characterized it – all the more reason he needs international support."

The fighting in the video is graphic. Soldiers approach several men bleeding on the ground and shoot them in the head from behind. One man appears to be stabbed repeatedly in the neck. One man is seen hanging out the broken window of a minivan.

At the end, a group of militants celebrate around what they say is the destroyed pieces of a jet. The man speaking challenges the presidents of Nigeria, Chad, Niger, Cameroon, the United States, France, and the Prime Minister of Israel, telling each "here are your goods."

The video also shows that Boko Haram, which goes by the name ISWAP since pledging allegiance to the Islamic State group in March, is mimicking the style and format of their Middle Eastern counterpart, according to Jasmine Opperman, Africa analyst at the Terrorism Research and Analysis Consortium.

"Boko Haram has clearly spelled out what it is set to bring to the fight against the new president: Determination to continue with attacks by small groups of fighters that still has arms such as rockets, the use of suicide bombings and bombings," she said. "The targets will remain public places and Maiduguri will not be handed on a plate to the Nigerian Government."

Buhari has said that the headquarters of the Nigerian military will be moved to Maiduguri, where Boko Haram originated. Buhari sent a tweet Tuesday that showed he was meeting with military service members in the Nigerian capital of Abuja.

Buhari and Bad luck have something in common...

God save Nigeria.

Who is the president on seat now, these guys are getting bolder by the day.
Amnesty things

.

I have said it over and over again that treating this idiots with kids glove can only worsen the situation. Last time i saw an aerial video following Boko haram guys as they scamper for safety. My surprise is this, why was the pilot just following them without using his air-power to whip their ass? Sometimes when i hear things like; We will rescue chibok girls ( some even say alive), i keep wondering if the person saying so knows how terrorists reason.
As far as i am concerned, anything within the confines of Sambisa forest should not be spared. Even if any of the chibok girls is still alive, she will be as deadly as any strong boko haram terrorist.


COMBAT STRATEGY should be OPERATION-WIPE-ALL.

Buhari is failing daily and people are dying left right and centre while he is busy chilling in Chad and doing nothing

I thought APC folks told us the brainless illiterate routed the maistastaine sect in the 1980s.he should be able to do to book haram.Ever since he assumed office last week,all the major gains recorded by the GEJ administration in the fight against book haram seems to have been eroded

Jorussia:

That's Ok, if it can bring biafra closer....anything to help Biafra is welcome

Oops, where are they sophisticated ritualists, the voodoo people...can't they go and fight Boko and kill anything that moves in sambisa forest..at least they must sophisticatedly secure one Nigeria for their masters up north and for Zik of africa...

where the coneheads...oya, time to kill anything that moves

But the irony is that sophisticated coneheads will defend north with their blood, using all evil propaganda because they are cowards. ..they will find way to justify whatever evil committed by north or themselves. ..they will only start screaming and cursing when it involve the east

Sophisticated and progressive cowards, nigeria has expired....Learn to stand on your own

So riddle me this, who's more clueless a man who spent six years and didn't act or a man who spent 5 days?.

Anyway your answer isn't important because I don't expect a reasonable answer from one who is clueless. So please regal in your cluelessness with barcanista the political prostitute.

that man is very poor, remember he borrowed money to buy his form while the daughter was shopping @ Harrods and the wife was donating millions of naira to IDP.
The same Buhari has been receiving millions from RMFAC as pension, what has he been using the money to do
