Chad’s President Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno delivered a firm response following the latest assault by Boko Haram insurgents. In a statement shared on Facebook, he pledged unwavering commitment to eliminating the terror threat, declaring, “We will continue this fight with renewed resolve until this menace is completely eradicated.” His remarks came just one day after an armed faction of the extremist group targeted the military base at Barka Tolorom, situated along the Chad side of Lake Chad, resulting in 24 soldiers losing their lives.
