Once again, we see that the jihadis appear to be a stronger force than the national military. Who is funding them?
“Borno: Bride killed as Soldiers exchange gunfire with Boko Haram,” by Hamisu Kabir Matazu, Daily Trust, July 10, 2026:
Suspected Boko Haram insurgents have attacked two military locations in Maiduguri, Borno State capital, killing three residents on the spot.
According to witnesses, the insurgents stormed a military base at Kofa around 2:14am, and hit another one at Muna around 2:30am.
Sources from both locations told our correspondent that the attackers drove to the areas on motorcycles shooting sporadically.
They also revealed that all the attacks were successfully repelled by the military but three residents were killed by stray bullets during the crossfire.
Deborah Usman, a resident of Kofa, said, as the insurgents engaged troops at the military post, many residents fled the area for safety.
“It’s at that time that our neighbor, a three-week-old bride, was hit by a stray bullet on the head and she died instantly.

At the rate this is going how long before this happens in The United States? Who or what is stopping it?

Try that crap anywhere in Texas, and the morgues Will be Overflowing with Muzzie bodies.

I wish that were the case, Taffy–remember the horrifying Ft Hood Jihad massacre in 2009?

There is something terribly wrong with the Nigerian military. They should be able to crush Boko Haram. Either they are being held back by Muslim interests higher up, or, they are are fighting like a bunch of ragtag individuals instead of an organized army.
The only solution is for the individual villages to arm themselves to the teeth and make Boko Haram pay dearly for each attack. Walking in, And shooting up, unarmed churches, villages, etc., without losses on the attackers’ part Is a recipe for more of the same. If they lost 10% of their force with each attack, the attacks would stop.

Yes, the USA and Israel should bypass the complicit Nigerian government and provide arms to the villagers for self defense

“a three week old bride.” With muzzies, that would mean an infant, aged three weeks.
Nigeria is run by muzzlims. From the government on, run by murderous muzzlims. and they don’t mind a bit of in-fighting as long as they can murder innocent people.

Does it mean she had been married three weeks–or was three weeks old? I assumed the former–but from the linked article it is hard to tell.
