Boko Haram Leader Shekhau Releases New Videos | Vows to Defeat Regional Force
Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, reportedly released three new videos on Monday.
The videos were obtained by AFP,
and in one of them, Shekau vows to defeat the coalition of soldiers
from Nigeria, Niger, Chad, and Cameroon, who have been fighting against
Boko Haram, Yahoo News reports.
“Your alliance will not achieve
anything. Amass all your weapons and face us. We welcome you…you send
7,000 troops? Why don’t you send 70 million? This is small. Only 7,000?
By Allah, it is small. We can seize them one-by-one. We can seize them
one-by-one,” he said during a 28-minute speech.
Shekhau is also said to have threatened the life of Chad’s President Idriss Deby, as his forces recently attacked Boko Haram in the northeast Nigerian towns of Malam Fatori and Gamboru.
