Boko Haram fighters may be fleeing from
several locations in northeastern Nigeria,
but it may not be at the hands of the
Nigerian Army.
In a major story on Friday,
Cameroonians Troops
said only Chadian and Nigerien soldiers, who
liberated the area from Boko Haram, are on the
ground with no Nigerian soldiers to take it over
from them despite being asked.
Damask, on the border with Niger but close to
Cameroon, was a regional headquarters for the
militants.
The New York Times reporter was part of a small
group of journalists the Chadians ushered around
the area to look at their accomplishment, of
which they are very proud. It is unclear whether
any Nigerian journalists were in the group.
For now, Damask is deserted, its population of
200,000 having been dispersed or killed. And
there are no Nigerian soldiers anywhere in sight,
the report said.
“Hundreds of miles away in N’Djamena, the
capital of Chad, officials are expressing anger at
the near-total absence of cooperation from the
Nigerians in a crucial regional battle, even as
Nigerian officials are discounting the extent of
Chad’s role.
“The disquiet of the Chadian officials was
echoed in the words of the front-line Chadian
soldiers here who wonder why they, and not the
Nigerians, are holding towns like Damasak,
several days after the last Boko Haram fighter
has fled or been killed.”
Said Second Lt. Mohammed Hassan about his
Nigerian colleagues, “We asked them to come, to
receive this town from us, but they have not
come.”
And he had an explanation why: “It is because
they are afraid,” he told the reporters.
The report said the brief tour of Damask offered
a rare glimpse into Boko Haram’s northern
Nigerian stronghold, and into the dimensions,
and difficulties, of a cross-border, four-nation
fight against the Islamists.
