The attack, which occurred on the night of Sunday, October 27th, resulted in the deaths of approximately 40 Chadian soldiers. President Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno visited the site of the attack and expressed his condolences to the families of the fallen soldiers.
In response to the attack, President Deby launched Operation “HASKANITE” to pursue the attackers and push them back across the border. The government has assured the public that it will take all necessary measures to protect the country and its citizens.
The Lake Chad region has been a hotspot for Boko Haram and ISWAP activities for years. The terrorist groups have caused significant human suffering, displacement, and destruction in the region.
The Chadian government’s commitment to combating terrorism and protecting its borders is crucial to regional stability. The international community must continue to support the efforts of the Chadian military and other regional forces in addressing the threat posed by these extremist groups.
