The Nigerian Army revealed that close to 1,000 hostages, mainly women and children, have been freed following a massive week-long battle against Islamic radical group Boko Haram in northeastern Nigeria.
Troops of 22 Brigade deployed in operation LAFIYA DOLE has rescued over 1000 hostages from the Boko Haram Terrorists enclave," the Nigeria Army official Twitter page announced on Monday.
"The hostages consisted mainly of women, children as well as some young men who were forced to become Boko Haram fighters," it added.
"Speaking with one of the rescued victims, Alhaji Gambo Gulumba from Amchaka village, thanked the Nigerian military for showing them love and care."
Nigerian Christians and Muslims have been suffering attacks by the radical group since 2009, which has at times managed to take control of entire villages and towns. President Muhammadu Buhari has vowed to completely drive the terror group out of the country.
The army affirmed that ambition, saying:
"We wishes to remind the public of its resolve to rout out BH & rescued all hostages. The public is also advised to report any suspicious character to the appropriate authority for prompt action. However, the rescued persons are being attended to in a military medical facility."

Any American (non)involvement or did the Nigerians psyche themselves up to do this all on their own?

I’ll give Trump credit for this as well. So much for Obama’s hashtag effort.

Could very well be that U S spooks and special forces played a part.

That’s great news, although the American media will ignore it.

Undoubtedly
Obamas meeting with the Nigerian president probably related

I’m pretty sure the US AND the rest of the world are recipients of the amazing Trump cornucopia of good things.
Not Trump or any of his people are grandstanding about any of this either... it’s just quietly taking place...
Reagan said: “It’s amazing how much you can accomplish, if you don’t care who gets the credit.”

#BringBackOurGirls - because usually there aren’t any boys left alive to bring back. They are burned alive. So no hashtag about that.

Another setback for Iran-sponsored Islamofascist terrorism. Thanks SeekAndFind.
