Chad’s President Dispatches Troops To Capture Baga by juliusocean(m): 10:01am On Jan 19, 2015
That there is a vacuum in Nigeria’s leadership is not in dispute; however the
recent declaration by the president of Chad, Idriss Deby compounds Nigeria’s
delicate situation and threatens the nation’s sovereign integrity. As reported by
the AFP in an article of January 17, 2015, captioned “Thousands see off Chadian
troops to fight Boko Haram,” Idriss Deby the authoritarian leader of Chad,
Nigeria’s north eastern neighbor, said “in a speech read by the speaker of
parliament that the new deployment (of Chadian troops to Cameroon) aimed to
recapture Baga.” Cameroon had requested for and welcomed the deployment
that saw 400 Chadian military vehicles arrive in Cameroon. [AFP] However
Nigeria was not invited to the table.
Nigeria’s military leadership as quoted by the AFP are “lukewarm.” The word is
defined by Google dictionary thus: “(of a person, attitude, or action)
unenthusiastic.” Nigeria’s military spokesperson, GEN Olukolade said as quoted
by the AFP: “All support for our operations will be welcome, but it must conform
with our own ongoing operations.”
In as much as Baga at the border with Chad and another 14 to 20 local
governments in Nigeria by all means needs various degrees of military liberation
from Boko Haram’s control, a Chadian intervention without approval by the
African union or explicit approval by Nigeria’s government, even though lacking
and inebriated infringes on the laws of national sovereignty; and prompts further
suspicion of the intentions of Nigeria’s neighbors who have reportedly been
permissive and in some cases frankly supportive of Boko Haram [See CNN]. The
Chadian government and the government of Niger pulled out their troops from
the multi-national force stationed at Nigeria’s northeastern border late last year
leading up to and enabling the Boko Haram massacre that resulted in 2500 to
3000 dead.
The stationing of troops by Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad and Niger by November 1 of
2014 was agreed upon by the four nations at the Paris summit in May of last
year. Acknowledging a vacancy of leadership in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital of
government; the new do-it-our-way, without Nigeria’s or any other openly known
regional or global union’s explicit authorization challenges years-long developed
modalities of territorial interrelation. Boko Haram terrorists are known to
organize, train and source weapons from Chad , Niger and Cameroon. Nigeria has
over the past years demanded these nations seal their borders and disallow
terrorist’s assemblies on their soil. The McCain approach of total disregard to
“some guy called Goodluck Jonathan,” disregards Nigerians as a whole and
compounds an already highly suspicious situation and pits Nigerians to choose
between Boko Haram (mostly) foreign terrorists’ invasion and foreign
leaderships’ invasion. Nigerians in the affected territories swear that Chad
president, Idriss Deby is a sponsor and financier of Boko Haram. A majority of
Boko Haram insurgents are Chadians [SaharaReporters, Jan 14, 2015]. There is
undeniably a serious problem here. In the course of Nigeria’s French neighbors
partnering and protecting their interests, this cannot be done with permission of
terror to Nigeria and at any risk to Nigeria’s territorial integrity. [See: “Serious
Allegations of Cameroon, Chad Arming Boko Haram Is Act of Terror And War;”
ENDS.ng Oct 14, 2014]
In October last year, Nigeria’s president and the president of Chad jointly
declared a very suspicious cessation of fire against Boko Haram [Which ENDS
promptly rejected on behalf of Nigerians]. This leadership ‘blunder’ which world
unions and lead groups were slow to recognize led to the strengthening of Boko
Haram and the deaths of thousands more innocent Nigerians and Cameroonians.
The world cannot continue to sit and watch these deadly conspiracies and
administrative ‘errors.’
John Dramani Mahama, of Ghana, head of the regional Economic Community of
West African States, ECOWAS on Friday called for an African action against the
Boko Haram regional threat. Absent a change of Nigeria’s incapacitated
government, this is the right action, long overdue. On behalf of the people of
Nigeria, we demand Nigeria, Chad and Cameroon sit down and negotiate the full
modalities of any incursion by Chad and/or Cameroonian forces into Nigeria’s
territory, and that the urgent agreements reached as sanctioned exigently by the
African union.
