I see this as a very significant victory for the anti-ISIS forces and its evil ally, Boko Haram.
IB Times:
Some 800 Boko Haram fighters have . . . surrendered
to the Nigerian military in the past three weeks. The director of
defense information Brig. Gen. Rabe Abubakar apparently revealed the
information Wednesday in an interview with Nigerian newspaper the Punch,
one day after the Nigerian military announced the establishment of a
rehabilitation camp for the former terrorists.
“I can confirm that about 800 of the Boko Haram members have
surrendered to the military,” Abubakar reportedly told the local
newspaper.
The new rehabilitation camp is for those militants who have
surrendered and are repentant. The camp will provide vocational training
to help reintegrate them into society and contribute to economic
growth. In an online statement released Tuesday, the Nigerian military
urged other Boko Haram members to abandon the Islamic insurgency and
warned “that the final onslaught against the remnant group of the
terrorists would continue unabated and would not relent until the power
of evil forces in the northeast is completely neutralized.”
