New regional war unfolding in central Africa as Nigeria, Cameroon, Niger and Chad unite against Boko Haram – with supporting role from France, America and Britain.


An MI-24 helicopter gunship, bristling with rockets, clattered over the swirling brown current of the Chari river before landing in Chad's capital, N'Djamena.


Moments later, two state-of-the-art Rafale jets – the pride of the French air force – swept overhead, bound for the same airport.


This constant procession of military aircraft through the skies above Chad bears witness to a new regional war now unfolding in central Africa – and to the arms-length involvement of the leading Western powers.


On the face of it, the new conflict pits the armies of four African countries against the Islamist gunmen of Boko Haram. Behind the scenes, however, France, America and Britain are all playing a supporting role.


Starting on Monday, Chad will host a military exercise with special forces from 15 Western countries, including Britain.
