ISIS cells have been working to establish a stronghold in northeastern Nigeria, mainly in the area bordering Lake Chad, for a while now.
With the lack of any meaningful military action from Nigerian government forces, the terrorist group appears to be today closer than ever to achieving its goals.
How come they got to the bund supposedly protecting the camp. Were the guards sleeping . Most seem to have belt fed machine guns for suppressing fire power even if the first one is shooting the clouds. The Nigerians in a base in a hot area and no defense . What hope have they got against dedicated fighters with a desire to have sex with a goat .
Its easy to recruit poor people by showing them materislism as there is no opportunity and no economy for people. So they become radicalized and get paid. Then its bigger mafias and gangs doing kidnapping and getting ransom. Education is key that will make them leave.
