NDJAMENA, Chad — Chad’s president, Idriss Déby, speaks in a soft mumble, wears spectacles and an immaculate white robe, and is to be found in the quiet inner recesses of a gilt-edged, marble presidential palace — under crystal chandeliers and vaulted arches that seem part Renaissance, part Vegas — at the dusty center of his country’s capital.

Yet he is undeniably one of Africa’s most formidable strongmen. His men once whipped Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi’s fighters in a desert battle, and he has survived numerous rebel assaults and coup attempts. More recently, his forces have successfully battled the Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram and Al Qaeda’s regional affiliate, Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, or AQIM, shoring up his credentials as the West’s favorite African autocrat.

Still, in discussing his military’s victory in the Boko Haram stronghold of Damasak, in Nigeria, Mr. Déby showed no hint of triumphalism. Instead, he was frustrated, impatient: His men were stuck, still awaiting any sign of Nigerian forces who could come take over. He does not want to be holding Nigerian territory, he said. He wants to be on the move.


“We want the Nigerians to come and occupy, so we can advance,” Mr. Déby complained in an interview at his palace last week. “We’re wasting time, for the benefit of Boko Haram,” he added. “We can’t go any further in Nigeria. We’re not an army of occupation.”

Double chai

Chad needs to recolonise the north.

Shame on Buhari and the Nigerian Army. All they know is how to murder Shiite, Ipob members and planning to molest Warri women without condom.

Let me see the clown that will tell me Nigeria is a great country again

I spit on nigeria's face

Nigeria is now the Chick of Africa

Our soldiers know only how to f..uucck Warri women without condom

They can't even load a modern rifle


Scum of the planet

Bruatata should be ashamed of him self. mad man

Man with ball

The article you posted here was published on March 27th 2015

Not recently, and not when Buhari was in power

Does not mean that the government is doing well..it isn't, but the article is out of date

As proof, it makes references to South African mercenaries.

The article is about the previous administration response to Boko. It certainly does show that things haven't changed much, but it also does not portray the previous administration in a good light. (Or for that matter the current one)

You are right, but the fact that Chad recently saved our bacon again shows that things have not changed since May 2015 when your party took over.

You guys should stop backing APC and PDP. They are both the same side of the coin

Giant Of .......

why

imhotep:

why

Because the article op put up was published on March 27 2015.

While it shows that APC hasn't changed anything, the article is mainly a critique of the then ruling PDP

Chad should excuse us ...right now Nigeria is Turning-On-Her-Own... bubu, Abba Kyari and Osibanjo are nowhere to be found

Those of us that have maintained that Buhari is fighting a deceptive audio war against Boko Haram have been vindicated

We dont call it APCheat for nothing

The same Chad Buhari claimed to have subdued sometime in the nebulous past. How did we get here? The Ogas got to Aso Rock by lying to an entire nation. They think they can perpetuate themselves by continually lying to the populace.
Oga Idris Déby, Nigerians are not even in Nigeria. If you have an important meeting please you can go. These weapons you recovered will be returned to the remaining rag-tag army of BH and the captured foot soldiers are already repentant and would be released o continue with the plan of their masters.

Shame no dey your dictionary?

So since then Buhari has defeated Boko Haram and Chad is no longer fighting the terrorists on its own? Is Nigeria still not absent after five years? Even after Buhari got $1 Billion

Sorry to disappoint you
