The President of Chad, Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno, issued a stern warning following a deadly assault: “We will continue the fight with renewed determination until this threat is completely eradicated”, he declared on Facebook. His statement came in response to an attack carried out the previous day by an armed faction of Boko Haram against a military base in Barka Tolorom, situated on the Chadian side of Lake Chad. The assault resulted in 24 fatalities among the ranks of the national army.
