Nigerian soldiers lash out in video after bloody Boko Haram attack

Kano (Nigeria) (AFP) - Troops fighting on the frontlines of the Boko Haram conflict in northeastern Nigeria have released a video claiming at least 100 soldiers died in a recent attack and deploring the poor state of their equipment.

In the five-minute video seen by AFP on Saturday, a soldier narrating in the background shows the burnt shells of several tanks and vehicles at the Metele base, which was attacked by the IS-affiliated Islamic State West Africa Province on November 18.

At least 43 soldiers were killed in the attack according to military and civilian sources, though the army disputes the death toll.

I believe at one time, mercenaries went to Nigeria and did indeed help them out. Overall, Boko Haram like ISIS has been greatly beaten back though, this incident sounds really bad.
