The United States of America have taken note of Boko Haram as the most lethal terrorist organization in the world. This becomes an evidence that the United States truly have taken a deeper check at the incessant killings and destructions of lives and properties by the Islamic terror groups in the failed contraption called Nigeria.
The Commander of the United States’ Special Operations Command Africa, Maj. Gen. Marcus Hicks described Boko Haram as the most lethal terror organisation in the world despite claims by the federal government that the extremist group had been significantly degraded and technically defeated.
The issue of Boko Haram’s power came up at a press briefing held in the US on Thursday on anti-terror efforts of the US government.
According to reports from THISDAY, The military commander spoke on US efforts to reinforce development, diplomacy, and defence, including the Flintlock, an annual exercise in Africa, and noted that the US had shifted its focus of training from tactical proficiency of small units to command and control of joint forces.
“Likewise, we have participants from the Multinational Joint Headquarters in N’Djamena that address the threats of ISIS West Africa, which is really in North-eastern Nigeria, and Boko Haram, its predecessor….which is the most lethal terrorist organisation in the world, in Lake Chad,” General Hicks remarked.
This sounds so encouraging to millions of Christians who have remained defenseless in the hands of the murderous Boko Haram and Fulani Herdsmen under the strong supervision of the APC government led by Muhammadu Buhari.
Hicks added that the training focused on members of the G5 Sahel and the Multinational Joint Task Force, around Lake Chad with eye on Boko Haram and ISIS West Africa.
Speaking further, he said: “We hope and plan to exercise command and control over tactical units at the joint multinational headquarters, which will be located in Agadez, and this will be the first year that Flintlock’s training audience will actually exercise command and control over tactical units in a scenario.
“The scenarios will be based on real-world threats of the violent extremist organisations currently threatening our partner nations in the greater Sahel. We also believe in the D3 approach, and as we bring a defence aspect to enable diplomacy and development, we also bring in training our African partners in military information support operations in order to counter the extremist messaging and to promote defection from extremist organisations
However, Biafrans are optimistic that the presence of the United States of America will enhance the protection of human right and eventually monitor the level of involvement of the federal government of Nigeria in supporting and supplying arms to the Islamic terrorist groups in the failed contraption called Nigeria.
