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withdrawn their troops before the January 3 attack.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.
