More than 8,000 Boko Haram terrorists have surrendered from their enclaves and hideouts. And whether you like it or not, the Shock and Awe strategy i.e overwhelming firepower is responsible for this development.
Are there still abductions? Yes of course. There will be attacks
Are there still abductions? Yes of course. There will be attacks
..on soft targets. Its a given there will be high profile attacks. But we cannot deny the fact the tide has changed dramatically. The Shock and Awe and Scorched Earth strategy is working. The army has blocked logistics routes and supplies thanks to robust ISR operations.
The Air Force has bombarded every known hideouts and camps. These guys are as dumb as a rock. They get married, raise kids in the forest. They get regular visits by their sympathizer Sheikh Gumi and they bask in a false sense of security. They mistake the military's patience
..for weakness, not realizing the military has been tieing a noose around their neck. They settled to raising families in the forest. Now the military have their enclaves mapped out. They know where they are. Many have watched their wives and kids blown to pieces.
Most will rather surrender than live with the trauma of daily aerial and artillery bombardment, watching their loved ones killed..all or what?
Hunger, fear, disease, snake bites, despair..thats all they know. Its not a good time to be a terrorist.
