Cameroon’s military was able to repel an attack on the city of Kolofata, organized by militants of the radical group Boko Haram, reports "Russian newspaper". During the clashes, an extremist 143 was destroyed.

The Cameroonian army lost a 1 fighter, another 4 was injured. In addition, the security forces captured a large arsenal of militants, including small weapon and ammunition.

Militants "Boko Haram" penetrated into the territory of Cameroon from neighboring Nigeria. Armed extremists attacked the administrative quarter of Kolofata, which houses the gendarmerie, the sub-prefecture and the barracks of the rapid reaction unit.

The radical group "Boko Haram" is at war with the authorities, attacking police and military installations. In addition, militants attack leaders of religious communities and elders. In the past few months, extremists have stepped up their activities, launching an offensive on the territory of Chad and Cameroon.

what an exact figure. 143.

Collected or scattered "kilogram of victory" divided by the average weight ...
The war will write everything off.
Remember the summer dodges
there were such "exact" figures
to fall - not to stand ...

[Vasily Ivashov]

Judging by the photographs, the army is normally armed, and they act correctly. Maybe they will get rid of religious radicals.

Yes, Cameroon seems to be a well-organized state, and not the smallest one there ...

Is there oil in Cameroon? Since, by a strange pattern, terrorists usually wind up where there is the blood of the economy.

With such a caliber, this jeep will make klbits after each salvo ... 12,7 or maximum 14,5.

It looks like a ZU-2 model of 1954, most likely they themselves release them.
14,5mm. - power.

Cameroon's military destroyed 143 militant radical group "Boko Haram"

The tactical success of the Cameroonians .... I think the Islamists conducted reconnaissance in battle.

They will conclude and then more serious actions will begin.

The only right tactic against this is the constant search and destruction of combat groups of BOKO-HARAM militants in all directions, including the territory of NIGERIA.

So far, the Islamists have won due to their activity and this can continue indefinitely.

[rotmistr60]

With their losses in one person destroyed 143? These even surpassed the U. Kropov (unless they shot the civilian population).

This meat is not a pity .... human life in NIGERIA does not cost anything ... they can kill for no reason.

No one doubts that the State Department and the CIA are spreading "democracy," or rather "Controlled Chaos" in the world by the hands of the Taliban in Afghanistan, ISIS in Iraq and Syria, Boko Haram in Africa, so they do not receive a tough rebuff. thanks to patrons from Washington.

143 to 1, given that Boku Haram already have combat experience and successful attacks, then every soldier in Terminator campaigns in Cameroon.

Boko haram in Nigeria is like an opposition, radical, armed by the local Muslim bourgeois in order to influence the government (there is a long history with rotations of Christian / Muslim presidents), but in the end, as always, it got out of control or found new unexpected foreign sponsors. Those. for Nigeria they are like "theirs" in the sense that they are Nigerians, and they have support within Nigeria, both financial and secret political. From here grow the legs of such a sluggish struggle with boko haram inside Nigeria. Well, for a number of the above reasons, the Nigerians cannot slaughter the same Nigerians.

But with Cameroon, the situation is completely different. The population there is more Christianized than in Nigeria, there is no internal support at all, few people know, but for Cameroonians, the Nigerians are, however far, far from being friends, but we can say - enemies, the long war over the Bakassi peninsula and the islands on Lake Chad have done their job , in border areas, there are frequent cases when Nigerians drop by people for sacrifices in Cameroon (well, it’s logical to don’t sacrifice Nigerian brothers to African gods). One of the egregious cases occurred probably a year ago, when a Nigerian tried to transport a body of a Cameroonian boy killed for a sacrifice to Nigeria by TAXI. Cameroon’s police and army prevented the pogroms of Nigerians in the border area.

Therefore, with invaders and aggressors, such as boko haram for Cameroon, Cameroon does not fool with double zeal, or even triple, if you add the fear of being decapitated for religious reasons. My Cameroonian friends, of course, exaggerate during the stories, but, projecting the facts known to me and acquaintance with the mentality of our older (by DNA markers) biological brothers, the picture looms like this:
Boko haram really attacked the city, blacks (military, police and garrison of the military unit) for many reasons (sloppiness, stupidity, disorganization, etc., etc.) bravo fled as fast as possible to the maximum safe distance. Then they "promptly" decided to destroy them. The local population was warned as best they could so that the survivors left the conflict zone as quickly as possible (who did not have time to be late), and began a sweep, I think the French military experts helped them with advice. I don’t know about heavy artillery, more likely not than yes, but we worked with aviation as efficiently as possible, to such an extent that boko haram was "offended" and began to threaten Cameroon with a "real" war. Naturally, these pido races do not know what a "real war" is, unlike the Cameroon army, hardened in very recent battles with the Nigerian army, so the number of boko haram losses does not surprise at all, rather the small number of killed Haramites is surprising, well, maybe they are not much participated in the capture of the city.

[Watson J.]

What are the pros and cons. If among the population of Nigeria, the Kharamites can "dissolve" and pretend to be "peaceful hoses", then in Cameroon, especially provincial, they will not be able to do this, tribalism has the feature that "a fisherman sees a fisherman from afar", and pretend to be a member of a tribe on the territory triba is as easy as the Chukche to pretend to be a Papuan. In addition to this, owing to the previously bloody inter-confessional and inter-tribal conflicts, the rural population has excellent skills in black "civil defense", that is, when it is necessary - to hide in unison. In this regard, for the successful destruction of foreigners, the authorities announce "alarm", the local population is hiding, those who did not hide (first of all, the militants, of course), are completely destroyed. Black prisoners do not like to take for some reason.

One big minus prevents the total eradication of the problem, these are practically transparent borders. Well, no country has normally controlled borders for blacks, border guards sit at checkpoints and collect bribes in their pockets, and thousands of kilometers of borders can be controlled only by "mobile patrols" (bribe-takers on wheels, the rate is hundreds of times higher). Therefore, preventing the penetration of militants is an impossible task. The only way is to intimidate so as not to meddle, which the Cameroonian army will soon be doing.

[Watson J.]

While writing, people added comments, which also require clarification.
The first one. The struggle in this case is not for non-oil or resource areas, from the word “completely”. These are northern sugarless regions, without resources, with a predominantly Muslim terribly poor and uneducated population. Resources and the Christian population, both in Cameroon and in Nigeria, are in the south along the shores of the Gulf of Guinea. I repeat, book haram was created as an armed opposition to the Christian president in order to intimidate and oppress (the Muslims believed that it was their president’s turn, and the Christians acted under the constitution), with the money of local Muslim billionaire politicians, but then, as always, came out, or “ out of control of the creators. Who “feeds” him now is not known for certain; there is no evidence, only speculation.
The second one. The Haramovites have no “combat” experience, also from the word “completely”. Maybe there is a very small skeleton of “vagrants”, but “cannon fodder” is uneducated Muslim villagers, such as Somali pirates at the initial stage. So even militants will not succeed in creating any operations that are significant in number / effectiveness due to the natural disorganization of blacks. The maximum is penetration in small groups across the border, a terrorist attack such as the capture / execution of a gaping bus, and a run back with prey and slaves.
There is one caveat. Black has gained considerable experience in patrolling areas with small mobile checkpoints (such as a jeep, 4-5 machine gunners), sitting, looking around. From a distance, they saw something wrong, if not scary (1-2 people), they themselves might try to use power, if suddenly 3 or more - to a jeep and a train, by radio, naturally, an alarm. But in this way, the situation in the territory is “under control”, i.e. about the movement of suspicious persons is known. Most likely, before the attack on Cameroon, the situation in the region was calm, now they will introduce patrols with inspection of cars. Locals can easily find saboteurs over rough terrain; they are still hunting and gatherers roaming the savannahs, so saboteurs will have to get angry now that Cameroonians know what to do, know how to do it and have the experience and means.
As for the prosecution of terrorists in Nigeria, for the reasons described earlier, while this is unacceptable, Nigeria will not tolerate the Cameroonian invasion of its territory, but for now. I would not be surprised if the French put pressure on the Anglo-Saxons, who, in turn, on Nigeria, and that would give consent, but this is a big question.
