Thousands See Off Chadian Troops To Fight Boko Haram by Itulah(m): 8:03am On Jan 18, 2015 |
N’Djamena (AFP) – Tens of thousands of people joined a march in N’Djamena on Saturday in support of Chadian troops heading to Nigeria and Cameroon to fight the Islamist group Boko Haram. Marching some five kilometres (three miles) through Chad’s capital, demonstrators waved the national flag and chanted in French and Arabic: “Kick the forces of evil out of our territory.” Prime Minister Kalzeube Pahimi Deubet said the march sent “a strong signal, a warning to Boko Haram”. The event came as a huge convoy set off from N’Djamena to combat the Islamists sowing terror in northeastern Nigeria and northern Cameroon. Thousands of people hailed the arrival of some 400 vehicles in the Cameroonian border town of Kousseri, an AFP journalist reported. Early this month Boko Haram launched a full-scale assault on the strategic town of Baga on the banks of Lake Chad, which straddles the borders of Chad, Nigeria, Niger and Cameroon. Chad is part of a regional force against Boko Haram that was based in Baga — but both Chad and Niger had withdrawn their troops before the January 3 attack. Chadian President Idriss Deby said in a speech read by the speaker of parliament that the new deployment aimed to recapture Baga. But Nigeria expressed lukewarm support fot the Chad mission on Saturday. “All support for our operations will be welcome, but it must conform with our own ongoing operations,” Nigerian army spokesman Chris Olukolade told AFP. The Cameroon government said on Monday that its army killed 143 Boko Haram fighters who had attacked a military base in the northern town of Kolofata. This week French President Francois Hollande and US Secretary of State John Kerry accused Boko Haram of committing crimes against humanity, while a top UN official, Leila Zerrougui, called for a regional response to the crisis. Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama, who heads the regional Economic Community of West African States, called Friday for a “specific plan of action to end the problem of terrorism” in Africa. Satellite pictures released by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch last week showed around 3,700 buildings in Baga and nearby Doron Baga damaged or destroyed. Daniel Eyre, Nigeria researcher for Amnesty International, said as many as 2,000 civilians may have been massacred, but Nigeria’s army objected to the “sensational” claims and said that the death toll in Baga was about 150. Brutal raids, massacres, suicide bomb attacks and kidnappings by Boko Haram have claimed at least 13,000 lives and driven an estimated 1.5 million people from their homes, mainly in northeastern Nigeria. www.nigeriaentertainment.io/thousands-see-off-chadian-troops-fight-boko-haram/ 1 Like 1 Share
