Cape Town – Former South African Defence Force soldiers are reportedly playing a major role in the fight against Boko Haram extremists in Nigeria after they were hired by the west African country.
According to a report published on the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) website, several ex-South African Air Force (SAAF) pilots were also participating in the war against the Islamist insurgents.
The report said the South African team together with other military experts from Britain, United States and France had contributed significantly to the recent successes of the Lake Chad Basin Commission forces against Boko Haram.
