Those African Ali-Snackbar guy's from Boko Haram clearly tried to impress the Mexicans and their Syrian/Iraqi counterparts.
They even made the effort to add subtitles so you finaly can understand whatever they talk about

Nice try but a bit long to watch all the way...
So I skipped the first part of the video where they only talked bullshit. Straight to the action!


The last part of the video they start talking again and drag around with some scrap metal (remains of a jet-fighter they claim, might have been a drone?)

The 10-minute long video, titled "Attacks by the Soldiers of the Caliphate in West Africa," features footage of Boko Haram fighters shooting injured Nigerian soldiers in the head. The militants also behead a man who appears to be wearing civilian clothing.

In the video, a masked fighter — flanked by fellow militants perched on trucks — talks to the camera and denies that the Islamist extremist group has lost control of territory, or that it has been worn down by military assaults, as regional governments have claimed in recent weeks.

The fighter says the video gives the group the opportunity to expose the "liars." He then calls the joint coalition forces from Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad, and Niger — working together to combat Boko Haram — the "lying coalition partners who sent their armies against us."

"Allah knows the reality on the ground," the fighter said, adding: "most of our territory is still under control."

Blablabla ... Blablabla ...

Those fuckers aint got shit... if trucks with a gun is the best they have then I almost feel bad for those Losers. Running all scared with their tails between their legs.

I wonder what they would do when they see a battle Tank with USA letters on the side.. they would actually run away fast while sharting themselves.

After many speculations on where the Islamist militant group, Boko Haram, are getting the weapons they frequently use to unleash terror in the north-eastern states of Nigeria and Abuja, their main sources have been unveiled.

According to US network TV NBC, most of the Islamic terror group’s weapons are either stolen from Nigerian military stocks or purchased on the thriving Central African arms black market, say the experts, including current and former U.S. officials.

While many have often wondered where the insurgents source their weaponry from, given both the sophistication and the sheer number, ThisDay reports that the group blamed for last month’s kidnapping of nearly 300 Nigerian schoolgirls routinely raids police stations and military bases in search of weapons

It was also gathered that in some cases, Boko Haram sympathizers in the Nigerian military abet the theft.

“There are hints that sympathizers in the Nigerian army will deliberately leave doors of armouries unlocked for Boko Haram,” said John Campbell, U.S. ambassador to Nigeria from 2004 to 2007.

It could also be recalled that a top military officer was indicted several years ago in Kaduna, for supplying the weapons of the Nigerian army to Niger Delta militants, led by, now jailed, Henry Okah.

The terror group has been conducting its campaign of terror in the northern states of Nigeria and neighboring Cameroon on the cheap, making mayhem with a makeshift collection of small arms, automatic weapons, rifles, rocket- propelled grenades and mortars, experts on the turbulent region say.

The report also stated that apart from weapons, the rebels frequently seize non-lethal equipment that helps them carry out their terror attacks, quoting one U.S. official.

Apart from benefiting from sympathizers in the Nigerian military, the Islamic terror group is said to be able to purchase small arms and occasionally some larger weaponry in nearby conflict zones, “probably Libya, probably Chad.

These arms are believed to be acquired through “shady, black market” arrangements across barely marked borders, as the official put it.

The porousness of the Nigerian borders was also said to be encouraging the proliferation of the country with illegal arms.

Arms trade expert William M. Hartung agrees. “It’s one conflict after another,” he said. “Because of the nature of the conflict … the concentration of conflicts … the black market in Central Africa is more vibrant than other places.”

Campbell, the former U.S. ambassador to Nigeria, says the array of small and automatic weapons, grenades, mortars, mines and perhaps car bombs “is all Boko Haram’s soldiers need to carry out their brand of terrorism.”

It could be recalled that officials in Cameroon on Tuesday showed a cache of weapons they said was seized near the Nigerian border last month following a rescue of some other kidnapped victims.

A Cameroon defense ministry spokesman, showing off a variety of weaponry including Russian-made AK-47s, said the cache represents what they are up against on a daily basis in trying to combat Boko Haram.

I know this hasn't got anything relating to boko haram but never the less. Islamic State (IS) militants may have captured as many as 2,300 US-provided armored Humvees from Iraqi armed forces when they seized Mosul in 2014, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi admitted on Sunday.

"In the collapse of Mosul, we lost a lot of weapons... We lost 2,300 Humvees in Mosul alone," Abadi said in an interview broadcast by state run Al Iraqiya television, according to remarks carried by AFP.

IS overran Mosul, Iraq's second city, in June 2014, routing a far larger force of 30,000 Iraqi soldiers who retreated in disarray, stripping out of their uniforms and abandoning their equipment as they fled.

The jihadists took control large stores of weapons, munitions, and vehicles. In the days afterwards, Humvees with hurriedly painted over Iraqi markings and carrying IS's black flag were visible from frontline positions held by Iraqi Kurdish peshmerga fighters. IS has since made extensive combat use of them, including as vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices.

On Monday, a Humvee was used in an IS suicide bombing on a military base north of Fallujah that killed 42, a military source told Al Jazeera.

The value of the lost vehicles is unknown. But in December 2014, the US State Department approved a possible sale of 1,000 Humvees armed with machine guns, and grenade launchers to Iraq at an estimated cost of $579 million.

With the help of airstrikes carried out by an American-led coalition and international backing, pro-government forces had been slowly regaining territory, including taking control of Saddam Hussein's birthplace of Tikrit.

IS seized Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province last month, however, in an embarrassing defeat for Baghdad and Washington's anti-IS strategy.
