How fortuitous! Only several day ago I was speaking of Boko Haram and how they had not been heard from recently.
From the "NEWS BRIEFING" of the Chicago Tribune as dated Sunday, 17 December.
style="font-size: large;">"Nigeria raids nab hundreds of Boko Haram fighters, families"
"MAIDUGURI, Nigeria - - Nigerian soldiers have arrested more than 400 people associated with Bolko Haram extremist group hiding on the islands of Lake Chad, including fighters, wives and children, military authorities said."
. . . .
"Among those arrested were 167 Boko Haram fighters, 67 women and 173 children . . . another 57 insurgents were arrested in a separate operation."
The fight continues, the war goes on. Counter-insurgencies can last for many years, decades even! It is hardly over.
