One must face a problem, as well: this is Nigeria going to find out this morning, after just three weeks of war. On Oct. 26, the Nigerian Army made a “dramatic offensive” over the village of Farys, which held its second year under Prime Minister Nkrumah.

It was the same force that made the first major blow to the insurgency of 1992 in Kidal, an insurgency that saw militant fighters on the ground take over towns. In the worst incident, nearly 50 local Islamists, mostly women, abducted a civilian.

A senior official told The Associated Press on Monday that security forces had taken “many villages and large houses and taken them with us to secure them.”

The Islamist militants, or Kataq (the former Boko Haram group) are part of an Islamist group called Lata’i Uddinat (The Awakening).

The group’s leader Muhammad Abdullahi told the AP that an international coalition has been sent to seize four villages in the same province from the insurgents.

The group, based outside of the Nigerian capital, Nairobi, has been the target of attacks by Islamic State extremists since December of last year.

Since 2012, Boko Haram killed more than 1,300 people and damaged an estimated 80,000 others
