Once again, we see Islamic jihadis prevailing over government forces. All over Africa, they appear to be better funded and better equipped than the national armies that oppose them. Who is funding and equipping them? No one seems particularly concerned about that. Or are the national governments in question actually on the jihadis’ side? No one seems particularly concerned about that possibility, either.
“BREAKING: Boko Haram Strikes Military Base In Borno, Kills Army General, Several Other Soldiers,” by Dayo Dickson, Parallel Facts, April 9, 2026:
Terrorists from the Islamic State-backed faction of Boko Haram (ISWAP) have reportedly killed a yet-to-be-confirmed number of soldiers in a deadly attack on a military base in Borno State.
Military sources said the assault took place on Wednesday night at the Joint Task Force facility in Benesheikh, Kaga Local Government Area.
The attackers reportedly used heavy gunfire and explosives, resulting in numerous casualties, including Brigadier-General O.O. Braimah.
“He was killed last night along with the Imam of the Brigade, many officers, and soldiers. The attack lasted several hours. The camp is Beneshek along Damaturu Road; it’s very unfortunate,” a source said….
In March, insurgents attacked bases in Baga, Buratai, and Ajilari, near Maiduguri, reportedly aiming to destabilize forward operating positions and weaken troop morale.

It would be logical for IS to seek to discourage people from joining the armed forces, even if those forces are not currently active against terrorists, because at some point they could be – and anyway, what is a fit young man doing joining up, whjen he could become a jihadi?

This attack on the military is not the first. They must be having difficulty finding enough Christians to rape, kidnap and murder.
It keeps going for two basic reasons; the government is muzzie and a different group than boko;
and because, as Jesus warned, “the world hates” Christians. He said, “It hated me first,” and “You will be objects of hatred on account of my Name.”
It will keep happening until Christ returns to put a permanent end to the evil and bring Justice.
There may be a few who do what they can to end the slaughter, but they cannot end the hatred without ending the source of the hatred. As long as the source and the hatred remain, so will the slaughter.
Those who want Christians to shut up, are no different than muzzies: who demand compliance (if we don’t want to be murdered), and if we don’t want harassment and mockery.
Jesus Christ will return. When He and His Father say it is the right time. Until then, murdering of those who disagree with islime’s adherents will continue….all over Africa, the many stans ,Asia and the ME….and worsening in Europe and the Americas.

“Jesus Christ will return. When He and His Father say it is the right time.”
“”It will keep happening until Christ returns to put a permanent end to the evil and bring Justice.”
“it will end when Jesus arrives “in a flaming fire to execute Justice and bring vengence”
Meanwhile, in the real world, the suffering of real flesh and blood human beings has continued for 2000 years as religious zealots await YOUR guy’s arrival.
Muslims, driven by their moronic beliefs, not yours, don’t give a damn what you think Jesus said.
This will end when human beings make it end.

Same requirement as was used by Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States, to defeat Islam in 1801.
The First Barbary War of 1801 was the first overseas war in U.S. history. At that time it was
Yusuf Karmanli of Tripoli.
Islam has not changed and the requirement to defeat Islam has not changed.
Same requirement as was used to defeat the Nazis and the Axis Powers, including the Grand Mufti in Jerusalem.
Same requirement as was used to defeat he Soviets.
Honor and appreciation to all U.S. soldiers, combat support units, and covert operators who answered the call to protect and defend the United States, throughout its history, and going forward.

Not simply because we’re atheists, but because the notion that a celestial savior will soon arrive is such a cruel irrelevance to those about to have their throats cut.
Enjoy your day.

You seem like a reasonable sensible person to me, but are you really taking the side of this truly obnoxious person PRCS that is constantly attacking Christians, ( in particular Somehistory) for the simple reason they are Christians, somehow I don’t believe you are.
However the obnoxious PRCS believes he has found a friend in you and that’s why you got a thumbs up from him (+1), If you have taken his side I can assure you that you’ll find no friends here.

“MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AP) — A Nigerian Air Force strike targeting jihadi rebels hit a local market in northeastern Nigeria, killing over 100 civilians including children and injuring many others, a rights group and local media reported on Sunday. Officials confirmed a misfire without providing details.”
Christians keep their hope alive because they have faith in Jesus and remember His warnings and His promises. Christians know any *promise* from humans is no real promise at all.
President Trump gave warnings to the muzzies. But one shot didn’t really do anything to stop the slaughter.
Now, even the nigerian military has killed the poor civilians. Christians know where to place their trust and it’s not in human hands.
“Amnesty International cited survivors as saying that at least 100 people were killed in the airstrike on Saturday on a village in Yobe state, near the border with Borno state, which is the epicenter of the jihadi insurgency that has ravaged the region for over a decade.
“We have their pictures and they include children,” Isa Sanusi, Amnesty International’s Nigeria director, told The Associated Press, referring to the casualties.
“We are in touch with people that are there, we spoke with the hospital,” he said. “We spoke with the person in charge of casualties, and we spoke with the victims.”
A worker at the Geidam General hospital, in Yobe, said at least 23 people injured in the incident were receiving treatment. The worker spoke anonymously as he was not authorized to speak to the media.
Such misfires are common in Nigeria, where the military often conducts air raids to battle armed groups who control vast forest enclaves. At least 500 civilians have died since 2017 in such misfires, according to an AP tally of reported deaths. Security analysts point to loopholes in intelligence gathering as well as insufficient coordination between ground troops, air assets and stakeholders.The large, remote market located near the Borno-Yobe border is known to be often used by Boko Haram jihadis to buy food supplies.
Abdulmumin Bulama, a member of a civilian security group working with the Nigerian military in the northeast, said there was intelligence that Boko Haram terrorists had gathered very close to the market and were planning an attack on nearby communities.
“The intel was shared and the Air Force jet acted based on the credible information,” Bulama said.
The Yobe State Government confirmed in a statement that a Nigerian military strike was targeting a stronghold of the Boko Haram jihadi group in the area and that “some people … who went to the Jilli weekly market were affected.”
Nigeria’s military issued a statement saying it conducted a successful strike on a “terrorist enclave and logistics hub” belonging to jihadis in the area, killing scores of them as they rode on motorcycles. It did not provide any detail about a possible misfire, but noted that motorcycles remain prohibited in conflict hot spots and “any such movements in restricted areas are therefore treated with the utmost seriousness.”
Amnesty International has called for an independent investigation into the incident, adding that the military is “fond of” labeling civilian casualties as bandits
Nigeria, which is Africa’s most populous country, is battling a complex security crisis, especially in the north, where there is a decade-long insurgency and several armed groups that kidnap for ransom.
Among the most prominent Islamic militant groups are Boko Haram and its breakaway faction, which is affiliated with the Islamic State group and known as Islamic State West Africa Province. There is also the IS-linked Lakurawa group operating in communities in the northwestern part of the country that borders Niger Republic.”

A pomise, the story goes, that has seen ‘believers’ through 2000 years of grief and slaughter.
Imagine Nigerian Christians thinking if Jesus had just shown up the day before they wouldn’t have had to witness the murder of their loved ones.
What a cruel joke that ‘promise’ has been.

What is your problem because I’ve never ever come across such a rude ignorant person in my life. You either have serious mental issues or your a muslim, what is it?
You’ve been mocking and attacking Somehistory for many months now if not years, simply because she’s a Christian What the hell do you get out of it? If you don’t like her comments then don’t read them. Your mockery and sarcastic insults are getting out of hand as it’s happening on a daily basis now. It’s apparent you have a loathing towards Christians, so if you are a muslim we all know what muruna is. Please just give it a rest, enough is enough.
PRCS USN (ret) says
Your pal takes every opportunity to demean the ‘pope creature’ because she hates Catholicism.
Do you hate it too?
Should they not push back against Islam?
I mock and attack the notion that the butchery of Nigerians and others (Catholics among them) by Muslims today will end when Jesus arrives “in a flaming fire to execute Justice and bring vengence.”
And, really John, asserting I either have a ‘serious mental issue’ or am a Muslim isn’t at least rude?
Yes, John, give it a rest.

John, some years ago, the atheist was going after graven. He called her all kinds of things on this site (he will deny that, just as he has denied other things.) I took her side.
On another thread some time back when fgm was the discussion, he wanted someone not involved in the case on trial to be a ‘witness’ of how bad it is and I pointed out that if the woman wasn’t a victim of the particular doctor, she would have to be found to be an “expert” on the matter to be called. Just being a victim of others would not be enough. He vehemently argued how wrong I was.
Then at some point….without any evidence whatsoever, he began to claim that I “hate Catholics.”
Probably because his parents were Catholic….and he “misses the incense.”

I, too, grew up Catholic.
I miss the incense.”
If I hated Catholics, I wouldn’t have friends who are, and I certainly wouldn’t care if they listened to the ****pope creature*****. If I hated Catholics, I’d sit back and say nothing of his lies or point out that he is a false shepherd.
As long as the atheist hates me and calls me names, I know I’m on the right side. As long as he doesn’t consider me to be on his side, I know I’m on the right side.
And as long as he demands that I only write what he approves….or stop writing….then I know I am doing the right thing. I’ll no more write to please him than I would to please muzzies…..the people ****his ***pope*** is fighting for.
the guy in the vatican….no, wait, he’s on his way to some countries in Africa….is called “pope”….and he’s a “creature” as are all humans. I have no respect for him and I disagree with his ‘position’….as is my *right*….so I write the “pope creature”
That’s accurate, and contrary to what the atheist-catholic, or catholic-atheist, writes, doesn’t show hate for those who follow and listen to the ‘pope.’.
But, the atheist-catholic will keep on being rude and wrong…as is his *right.* And he’ll keep on grinding his teeth.

Whiny bigot.
You’ve made your hatred of Catholicism clear and obvious so many times.
Opposition to Islam is not the province of Protestants alone.Get over yourself
Your tap dancing obfuscations are hilarious.

On funding, surely it is time to boycott all Islamic sources of oil, on the basis that they should be limiting and disciplining their own accessories to evil causes? America could be self-sufficient, and Europe still has access to oilfields which could be exploited if net zero was abandoned – as it is, we seem to get the worst of both worlds by paying a third party to supply us!
OLD GUY says
Is there ever a day in Nigeria when islamic terrorist don’t attack and murder, rape, and steal from non islamic children, women and men? And what is really stupid is that we recognize Islam as a religion.
