Since 2009, the militant Islamist group known as Boko Haram has wreaked havoc in northern Nigeria. Instilling terror through bombings, abductions, and beheadings, Boko Haram is fighting to create an Islamic state in the most populous country in Africa.
VICE News traveled to Nigeria to embed with the country's army as it ramped up its fight against Boko Haram, whose rise has caused a state of emergency. As the only journalists on the front line in northern Nigeria, we witnessed the beginning of the largest military insurgency to date.
In part two of this three part series, VICE News correspondent Kaj Larsen visits the Nigerian army's forward-operating base at the front lines of the battle against Boko Haram. There he speaks with soldiers as they prepare for a major offensive against the militant group.

Anil Nair Africans are a bit funny when it comes to power they start of good hearted and idealistic but then they get this mentality they can do what they want and no one can stop them an example was France supporting a general rebelling against a dictator in an African country only for that same general to end up committing genocide and a civil war because he wanted only his ethnic people in his country that's why people say Africa is not ready for Democracy because the leader looks out for his intentions or his ethnic group not so much what the people as a whole need that and also because a lot of people simply don't get the concept the guy they wanted did not get elected so they rebel against the government

@@desparate8820 very much better. At the time this documentary was made, bombs regularly go off on Borno State (that’s the major state where all of these were happening) and kill hundreds of innocent civilians. Bombs from Boko Haram. Also, othere states were regularly attacked and bombed. Today, there are almost no bombings and attacks have generally reduced. The current President has tremendously equipped the army and trained loads of military men. There’s also now in place a more competent military leadership. However, other security challenges have sprung up in form of bandits (terrorists attacking via guerrilla means, and kidnappers). But in recent week and months, those have also subsided. In the last couple of months, there has been immense success recorded by the the Nigerian military against the bandits. In general, the security situation is better than it was 7 - 8 years ago.

fnorgen The Toyota Hiluxes were even far far more common in the Nigerian Military than right now a few years ago. But actually they didn't serve us well. They have no Armour (Soft Skinned) and result in a lot of Military deaths. That's why we started to produce our own APC (Igirigi), buy South African MRAPs and Chinese MRAPs as well. The Landrover uts/pick ups by the way are better than the Hilux. Most Nigerian defense analyst and enthusiasts today are calling for the reduction of Toyota Hiluxes and slowly they are being phased out.

Another incredible piece of journalism. Thank you for covering this. Small detail, the tank at 4:15 is not a T-72. T-72 has a distinct flatter profile. This appears to be a T-54/T-55 variant. These are very common in developing countries and the original design dates back to 1949 (though likely this model is from the 1950s or later). It would be vulnerable to most RPG weapons.

@virussro5862 2 года назад

Its a t55

@alexei3755 2 года назад

Looks like a t55a, which is a more modern rendition of the t55 and would not as easily succumb to rpgs

so great to see we've got men with hearts to protect our country... first time I'm so proud to be a naija born

@NabilAbdulrashidComedy 5 лет назад

Proud to be a Nigerian from a military family. Our boys may not have the same weaponry as many armies but when it comes to heart very few soldiers on earth can match them. Iraqis and others should learn from our boys to defend their land without begging Americans to come and help them

@masterlightjames950 Год назад

Iraq never begged for America's help. America forcefully and illegally went there. There's already several parliament resolutions and laws asking Americans to leave Iraq, but they've refused.

@virussro5862 2 года назад

You are right its a t55

@attaat 2 года назад

Agreed, but when he was describing the formation, at time frame 4:11, there could be a T72 or a T64 behind him..... To be fair, at least he got it right that it was a tank! Most reporters describe anything with tracks as a tank...

Sim x Yess but Kim Kardashian got a fine ass. I doubt Boko haram got that. But i do whole heartily agree that this is interesting news, its a shame that mainstream media ignores it. Its like news got a date of expire. take syria or Ebola as a example, there are more or less no updates on condition/status in country's afflicted with civil war and plague.
