Nigerian fishermen feared dead after Chad air strikes on Boko Haram

This is how Islamic extremists operate: 1. Attack civilians while hiding among civilians. 2. Wait for the victims and their government to respond in self defense. 3. When the response comes and the government accidentally kills civilians that the terrorists were using as human shields, call the BBC and blame the government. 4. Watch as legions of idiots around the world believe the lie that the media helped spread around the world. 5. Islamic extremists get away with murder.

This is a total tragedy for those families in the Lake Chad region. It is honestly devastating that these fishermen were just out there trying to make a living and ended up caught in the middle of a military air strike. You can see why the Chad air force is being so aggressive after losing so many soldiers to Boko Haram recently, but hitting a group of civilians by mistake is a massive failure. It just shows how incredibly dangerous that whole border area has become when the lines between the insurgents and the locals get blurred during high speed operations. If the death toll is really as high as some of the reports are saying, it is going to cause a serious amount of tension between Nigeria and Chad right when they are supposed to be working together. It is just a heartbreaking situation all around.

More than 40 people dead? Holy shit.

Chad can airstrike?

Chad has that capability?

Chad you jerk
