From today, no Chadian soldiers will take part in a military mission\noutside Chad,\u201d said Chadian President Idris Deby who led his troops in a\ncounter-attack that led to the death of many of the insurgents. After the\nepisode, he granted several self-promoting interviews where he tried to put\ndown Nigeria and the efforts of our military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is therefore no surprise that Chad is being hailed\ninternationally while Nigeria is being ridiculed in the social media.\nMeanwhile, with many of the insurgents said to have melted into some Nigerian\ncommunities in the North-east, the job of our military troops is now well cut\nout for them. It would be most tragic to allow the Boko Haram insurgents that\nhad been flushed out by the Chadian soldiers to regain foothold on Nigerian\nterritory. That is the challenge of the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The relocation of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt General Tukur\nBuratai to the main theatre of the war, though desirable, is not enough as\nmodern warfare is not fought with bare chests and hands. This is the time to\nboost the morale of the soldiers and their officers by providing for them the\nneeded arms and logistics in the onslaught against the insurgents. The recent\ndeployment of the commanding officer, Major General Olusegun Adeniyi, for bringing\nto the public the frustrations of his fighting troops is a pointer to some\nlingering operational issues. He merely reaffirmed what most Nigerians have\nbeen saying that our soldiers are squared against well-armed insurgents. The\nissues he raised should be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1111\" height=\"667\" data-attachment-id=\"1241\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/towncryyers.com\/index.php\/2020\/04\/19\/insurgency-and-the-chad-ultimatum\/boko-haram-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Boko-Haram-1.jpg?fit=1111%2C667&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1111,667\" 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-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Boko-Haram-1.jpg?fit=300%2C180&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Boko-Haram-1.jpg?fit=1024%2C615&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Boko-Haram-1.jpg?fit=1024%2C615&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Boko-Haram-1.jpg?w=1111&amp;ssl=1 1111w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Boko-Haram-1.jpg?resize=300%2C180&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Boko-Haram-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C615&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Boko-Haram-1.jpg?resize=768%2C461&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What is particularly worrying is that the same military\nwhich ended the Nigerian civil war within 30 months, and later led ECOMOG to\nend civil wars in Liberia and Sierra Leone, etc., has been stranded by a\nrag-tag collective of untrained sectarian zealots for more than a decade. Quite\nclearly, something is wrong in terms of doctrine, training, morale, strategic\norientation and more crucially, leadership. Yet, despite strong indications\nthat senior military officers and the fighting troops have lost trust in the\ncurrent service chiefs, President Muhammadu Buhari has refused to make changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have stated on this page on several occasions that the\npolicy put in place to defeat the insurgency has become ineffective and it is\ndraining the army of the goodwill of most Nigerians. For the past one year,\nBoko Haram terrorists and their ISWAP counterparts have, through daring raids,\nattacks and seizures, put a lie to the much-touted view that the war against\ninsurgency is \u2018technically over\u2019. In fact, the insurgents have exacerbated\ntheir asymmetrical warfare and executed successful attacks, and in the process\nkilled hundreds of civilians and military personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1140\" height=\"815\" data-attachment-id=\"1242\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/towncryyers.com\/index.php\/2020\/04\/19\/insurgency-and-the-chad-ultimatum\/idriss-deby-1140x815-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Idriss-Deby-1140x815-1.jpg?fit=1140%2C815&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1140,815\" 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=\"Idriss-Deby-1140&amp;#215;815-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Idriss-Deby-1140x815-1.jpg?fit=300%2C214&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Idriss-Deby-1140x815-1.jpg?fit=1024%2C732&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Idriss-Deby-1140x815-1.jpg?fit=1024%2C732&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Idriss-Deby-1140x815-1.jpg?w=1140&amp;ssl=1 1140w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Idriss-Deby-1140x815-1.jpg?resize=300%2C214&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Idriss-Deby-1140x815-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C732&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Idriss-Deby-1140x815-1.jpg?resize=768%2C549&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption> Chadian President Idris Deby  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have consistently commended the men and officers of the\narmed forces for their gallantry and sense of duty. Many of them have paid the\nultimate sacrifice. But the Chad offensive that has put the insurgents on the\nrun indicates very clearly that this does not have to be an endless war. With\ngreater motivation and a new commitment, our military can defeat the\ninsurgents. We hope Buratai who has talked down Boko Haram on several occasions\nwill now walk his talk from Maiduguri. Nigeria will not take any excuse from\nhim this time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thisday Editorial The April 22 ultimatum to Nigeria by Chad, a member of the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) fighting Boko Haram and the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) is yet another indication that&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1240,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[4],"tags":[315,314],"class_list":["post-1239","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-polity-politics-governance","tag-chad-ultimatum","tag-insurgency"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
