Chadian armed forces said they had wound up\nthe operation against Boko Haram in the Lake Chad region, saying 52 soldiers\nhave been lost and a thousand jihadists killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The operation was launched after 98 Chadian soldiers were\nkilled in a Boko Haram raid on a base at Bohoma in the lake\u2019s marshlands on\nMarch 23, the biggest one-day military loss in the country\u2019s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The four countries bordering the lake \u2013 Nigeria, Chad,\nNiger, and Cameroon \u2013 and Benin Republic had in 2015 set up the military\ncoalition, MNJTF, to fight Boko Haram. But Chad, which has some of the\nstrongest armed forces in the Sahel, showed frustration with the MNJTF\nfollowing the Bohoma losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cChad is alone in shouldering all the burden of the war\nagainst Boko Haram,\u201d Idris publicly complained last weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In announcing the end of the offensive on Thursday, the army\nsaid its troops had expelled jihadists from Chadian soil and had advanced deep\ninto Niger and Nigeria. Derby said he had warned those countries that his\nforces would move out of bases seized there from the jihadists by April 22,\nwhether their armed forces moved in or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Army spokesman, Colonel Azem Bermendoa Agouna, told the AFP\nnews agency that 52 troops died during the operation, which was launched on\nMarch 31.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA thousand terrorists have been killed, 50 motorised canoes\nhave been destroyed,\u201d Agouna said, referring to a large boat also called a\npirogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Agouna said the operation, which was launched after nearly\n100 soldiers were killed in a Boko Haram attack last month, ended on Wednesday\nafter the armed fighters were forced out of Chad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"945\" height=\"475\" data-attachment-id=\"1128\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/towncryyers.com\/index.php\/2020\/04\/12\/chad-issues-nigeria-april-22-deadline-to-occupy-territories-seized-from-bharam\/boko-haram\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Boko-Haram.jpg?fit=945%2C475&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"945,475\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Boko-Haram\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Boko-Haram.jpg?fit=300%2C151&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Boko-Haram.jpg?fit=945%2C475&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Boko-Haram.jpg?resize=945%2C475&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1128\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Boko-Haram.jpg?w=945&amp;ssl=1 945w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Boko-Haram.jpg?resize=300%2C151&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Boko-Haram.jpg?resize=768%2C386&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 945px) 100vw, 945px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was the first official snapshot of the outcome of\nOperation Bohoma Anger, launched after about 98 soldiers were killed on March\n23 in the deadliest-ever attack by Boko Haram on the country\u2019s military forces.\nThe armed group had mounted a seven-hour assault on a Chadian army base at Bohoma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Chadian expedition and declarations of Derby triggered a\nflurry of activities in Nigerian military circles. The Defence Headquarters\nsaid on Tuesday that Chad would not take the glory of Nigeria\u2019s gallantry and\ncontributions to the war against insurgency. Coordinator of the Directorate of\nDefence Media Operations, Major General John Enenche, said Nigeria was not\nslowing the pace of the war, as claimed by Derby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enenche stated, \u201cTo say that we are slowing down the war is\nnot true at all. By our mandate, you can go in pursuit of insurgents and\ncriminals for 25 kilometres without consultation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor His Excellency (President Derby) to say that is not\nright. They are playing their part of the game. It\u2019s not true.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enenche said Nigeria fought in Sierra Leone and other\ncountries where it left a legacy of restoration of democratic rule and\n\u201csomebody wants to take glory with 30 men. When you are in a situation like\nthis and it is coming to an end, some people will be trying to take the glory.\nIt is a distraction for a military to say I\u2019m taking the glory. We have done so\nmuch there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Army Spokesman Col Sagir Musa had issued a statement on\nFriday debunking claims that foreign troops were occupying Nigerian territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Musa stated, \u201cThe Nigerian Army\u2019s attention has been drawn\nto the statement now circulating on social media claiming the security and\ndefence forces of Chad are deeply stationed in the islands of Niger and\nNigeria, waiting to handover to the respective armies of these friendly\nnations. Nigerian Army wishes to state that there is no Chadian or any other\nforeign country\u2019s troops on Nigerian side of the Lake Chad or in any other part\nof the Nigerian territory. As a responsible organisation, the Nigerian Army\nfinds it necessary to clear the wrong impression or misinformation for history\nand posterity as well as to avoid spreading falsehood and mischievous\npublications.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1584\" data-attachment-id=\"1129\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/towncryyers.com\/index.php\/2020\/04\/12\/chad-issues-nigeria-april-22-deadline-to-occupy-territories-seized-from-bharam\/attachment\/1129\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/C6497497-7C07-47A7-9ECA-7D4F93E9A7EA-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1584&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1584\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;AFP&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Chadian soldiers sit on a pickup truck as they leave Bangui on April 4, 2014, escorted by African-led International Support Mission to the Central African Republic (MISCA) forces (not pictured).
