Chad: 1,000 Boko Haram jihadis killed in retaliatory strikes by Chadian soldiers

Apr 19, 2020 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

At the end of March:

Boko Haram terrorists killed at least 92 Chadian soldiers in the deadliest attack on the nation’s forces, Chad President Idriss Deby Itno said.

Chad responded:

Its soldiers have killed some 1,000 jihadists in an operation on the islands of Lake Chad that targeted Boko Haram fighters.

According to Foreign Policy, “Boko Haram extremists have killed tens of thousands and forced millions from their homes during their more than decade-long insurgency.”

A faction of the jihad group pledged allegiance to the Islamic State in 2015. Since the fall of the Islamic State’s caliphate in Iraq and Syria, the group has redirected its efforts to Africa, particularly in the Sahel region. Since “the coronavirus pandemic, the battle against jihadi terrorism in Africa’s vast Sahel region has taken one of its deadliest turns yet.”

Now governments in the region are left to grapple with the increasing violence of the Islamic State, which is sure to be a continued threat to the West given the reality of open-door Europe, where immigration flows will resume once the coronavirus pandemic ends. This will allow the further infiltration of Islamic State jihadis into Europe.

“Chad Says 1,000 Boko Haram Killed During Week of Fighting,” by Dany Padire, Bloomberg, April 10, 2020:

N’Djamena, Chad (AP) — Chad says its soldiers have killed some 1,000 jihadists in an operation on the islands of Lake Chad that targeted Boko Haram fighters.

Army spokesman Col. Azem Bermandoa said late Thursday that 52 soldiers also were killed and 196 others wounded during the eight days of fighting. The operation cleared the extremists from the islands in a vast area between Chad, Nigeria, Niger and Cameroon, he said.

The operation came after Boko Haram last month killed more than 92 Chadian soldiers in the deadliest attack on the nation’s forces….

    Removing 1,000 jihadists from planet earth is very good news.
    One can only hope that this is just the start of this disgusting death cult’s existence in Africa and else where.

          Especially if Chadian forces attack at the moment when the muslims should be filling their face.

        In some countries Jihadis want to spread Qurona ( new English spelling ) Virus in major cities. They tried in Nepal, but 10 Mosques have been sealed

      China is making inroads into Africa by planning, or maybe already building megacities such as they have done in China. Probably eventually the megacities will become the terminus for the new Silk Road. Do we really think that China will put up with terrorists on their turf?

        They’ve already got 1 million Uigher Muslims locked up in ‘reeducation camps.’

        Chinese are as dangerous as Jihadis. That is why they do whatever they want in Xinjiang, but helps Pakistan to infiltrate terrorists in neighboring countries.

          Not Chinese but Communists. Communism has no national boundries. By just saying Chinese/ China all the time we lose track of the fact that it is Communism that is the real enemy (along with it’s ” useful idiots”- Mad Mo’s army and the socialists that infest our societies).

      44 of the 58 captured jihadis dead [ poisoned ] in a Chad prison

        Of course muhammed himself{PBUh,Poison Be the Undoing of him} suffered the same fate when he ate poisoned meat provided by an enslaved Jewish woman whose family he had murdered.

        To add insult to injury{being killed by a woman AND a Jewess}he suffered prolonged agony from it which eventually killed him:and he even KNEW the meat had poison in it{ …as the leg of meat spoke to him and told him so..}thus proving that muhammed,apart from being a false prophet, was a moron.
        And he thought allah would save him..
        {See on You Tube…. acts17apologetics who killed muhammed?}

      Yes–we have to take this with a large grain of salt.

    All it takes is will and resolve.
    Case in point: have you heard of the Somali pirates lately?

    • gravenimage says

      Apr 20, 2020 at 12:17 am

      Actually, the US, Europeans, Chinese and a few other nations have largely shut down the Somali pirates. Surprised that this–one of the few real triumphs against Jihad–is not better known.

        This success story doesn’t fit the narrative gi, best we just move along

        The key word here is China weather it is repressing religious uprising or destroying pirates ,when it comes to it’s interest ,china will do whatever it takes . It is the biggest mafia in the world !

        • gravenimage says

          Apr 20, 2020 at 10:58 pm

          I am *no* fan of Communist China, but how does opposing the Somali pirates make them the “mafia”?

        • Paul J says

          Apr 21, 2020 at 12:21 am

          COMMUNISM not China is the biggest “mafia”. Communism has no national boundries. China is just the blueprint for the rest of the world and Mad Mo’s army is being utilized to achieve that end. They (the commies) have already infiltrated all facets of public life with their “useful idiots” ie; the leftards.

    Hallelujah!!!! Fortunately Chad is not led by anyone as stupid as Justin Trudeau, who believes that you lose if you kll the enemy.

      Diversity is our strength – assimilation is bad so Canada should import hundreds of cultures and languages and make them all official tongues of the Dominion. I feel stronger already – don’t you? America had the Kennedys and we’ve got the Trudeaus. So far ours haven’t left a girl trapped in a submerged car gasping for air.

    Perhaps they will attack the root cause of terrorism and exterminate the cult of islam.

      Most information received from any government on any continent or island must be viewed as a lie. Governments are interested in personal power for the leader, who is kept in power by a modern form of the Praetorian Guards. In 2018 a man living under Vietnamese Communist oppression said “The lie is the survival instinct of the communist”. Communist countries (without fail) have authoritarian governments. It is needed to preserve the power residing in the hands of the few leaders who live off the flesh and blood of the citizens (that they own?). When Muammar Gaddafi wanted to establish himself as a powerful warlord over Libya, he sent his Army into Chad as a demonstration of his regional power. It failed to impress many western governments though, because Chad is a barren desert land with (at that time) only a few miles of road. The Libyan Army just camped out in the desert of Chad for a week or two, then returned to Libya declaring the war a success. You are right to suspect any government “Truth”. In the government dictionary, I read their truth as “the lie”. They dare you to prove them wrong. One person noted that “when the lie becomes an institution, truth looks like rebellion”. Governments will hold you accountable for telling the truth (as the 20th and 21st century has demonstrated).

    The Nigerian government claims over and over again that it has decimated Boko Harem which we know is a lie. I’m hoping this report from Chad isn’t more of the same. Do what China is doing – level the mosques and re educate the muslim masses or keep them in perpetual detention.

    How can this not be a good thing?

    Chad: 1,000 Boko Haram jihadis killed in retaliatory strikes by Chadian soldiers
    …………..

    I hope these figures are accurate. Of course, Chad itself is 58% Muslim, so the will to oppose Jihad is probably pretty weak.

  13. Gordon says

    Apr 20, 2020 at 3:48 am

    The Chadian President has for years been allowing flow of arms, ammunitions & jihadis through his state as an agreement between him & BH.
    But March 23 saw BH breeching the pact & hitting a Chadian army base killing 95soldiers…
    President Idris is just provoked but not actually fighting against terrorism!

    • gravenimage says

      Apr 20, 2020 at 11:00 pm

      Good analysis, Gordon. Muslims generally only oppose Jihad terror when it is aimed directly at them.

    Boko Haram needs to be totally wiped from the face of earth. 1000 killed sounds like a good start on that.
