Whilst the Chadian Army is unleashing an unprecedented blitzkrieg and massive assault against Boko Haram, the Nigerian Army is withdrawing brave and patriotic officers like Brigadier General Olusegun Adeniyi from the war front and Nigerian soldiers are killing innocent citizens and threatening to rape Nigerian women "skin to skin".  Again hundreds of Nigerian troops were freed by Chadian soldiers after they launched a massive attack which was personally led by their President, Idris Deby.  They also seized many dangerous weapons from Boko Haram.  I have contempt for the Buharists and I pity Nigeria.

A shopfront in New York City [Radmilla Suleymanova/Al Jazeera] With no clear indication as to when they can return to business-as-usual, some bars and restaurants in New York City are boarding up their windows and doors, reports Al Jazeera's Radmilla Suleymanova.
