TENS OF THOUSANDS SEE OFF CHADIAN TROOPS TO FIGHT BOKO HARAM IN NIGERIA AND CAMEROON

Today, January 17, thousands of people joined a march in N'Djamena in Chad to see off Chadian troops who were heading to Nigeria and Cameroon to fight tooth and nail with the deadly Islamist group-Boko haram.

The demonstrators waved their national flag and chanted:"kick the evil forces out of our territory" in French and Arabic. The march is meant to send a strong signal and warning to Boko haram.

The Chadian President in a speech read by the  speaker of parliament, said that the new deployment of these troops is to recapture Baga in Borno state of Nigeria after the massacre.

However it is so surprising that Nigeria has shown a lukewarm support and laicadaisical manner to this Chadian mission.

When approached, the Nigeria Military spokesman, Chris Olukolade replied thus: "All support for our operations will be welcome but it must conform with our own on-going operations".
