尼日利亞防長 政府軍重挫博科聖地

Nigeria’s defense minister said the military under President Muhammadu Buhari has made enormous gains in the fight against Boko Haram.

尼日利亞國防部長說，尼日利亞軍隊在布哈里總統的領導下，在同博科聖地恐怖主義組織的戰鬥中取得了巨大戰果。

Retired GenerAl Dan Ali said Wednesday the military has reclaimed much of the land once occupied by the terrorist group and that Boko Haram has been reduced to waging mostly guerrilla warfare.

退役將軍阿里星期三說，尼日利亞軍隊收復了一度被博科聖地佔據的大部分地區，博科聖地的力量已經削弱到基本上只能打游擊戰了。

Ali said the military should be able to clear the terrorists out of the Sambisa Forest within two or three months.

阿里表示，政府軍應在2至3個月內將恐怖分子趕出薩姆比薩森林。

Shortly after President Buhari was inaugurated as president in May 2015, he confidently declared that Boko Haram would be defeated by the end of the year. Before 2015 was over, Buhari announced that he had succeeded in his pledge, claiming that Boko Haram is now "technically defeated".

布哈里於2015年5月就任總統後，宣佈將在年底之前擊敗博科聖地。2015年行將結束前，布哈里宣稱實現了自己的諾言，從技術層面講，博科聖地已被擊敗。
