In response to the original post, there is no doubt that the operation was marginally successful, but ISIS Affiliated Boko Haram has NOT been defeated, nor stopped from terrorist activities in Nigeria, Cameroon and Chad.

I have SA coworkers buddies who took leave from our oil support operations to fly in that operation. The Nigerian Government and our company was not thrilled, and the pilots who participated have been involuntarily separated from employment. This is a shame because the guys were good...on a 160th level.

Boko Haram has easily regrouped and is now threatening further South in Nigeria than ever before. Recent suicide bombings and shootings have reached as far as Lagos, and Port Harcourt is currently alert to the potential of attacks there as well.

The fact that BH is reaching out from the northern Maidaguri and Borno areas, and advancing to the South is a clear indication that the situation is likely to deteriorate, long before the Nigerians can get their act together to effectively battle them to a victory. Fortunately, the new president of Nigeria, former Army General Buhari, is a hard-core anti corruption leader; has sworn to fight and defeat BH, and has the loyalty of the Army...despite the fact that he is a Muslim.

Just this week, we received an updated alert status warning of the potential of BH attacks on oil interests, and areas where we operate. Just wish they'd let us 'carry' here!

Edit: Added today...26 OCT 15. Plan to attack Lagos in the South thwarted...for now.
