Traditional leader in Lac mobilizes communities against Boko Haram threat

In the face of persistent threats from Boko Haram, His Majesty Brahim Koromi Mahamat, traditional leader of Boudouma Gouria I in the Lac Province, recently embarked on a critical awareness campaign across the communities under his authority. This proactive outreach effort brought him directly to the people, reinforcing the need for collective vigilance and unity.

During each stop—whether on remote islands or mainland villages—the delegation, which included local leaders, community elders, and peace advocates, delivered a powerful message. Their shared vision emphasized solidarity, heightened awareness, and a united front against violent extremism threatening the region.

The campaign’s core appeal resonated clearly: strengthen social cohesion, foster peaceful coexistence among diverse groups, and deepen cooperation between civilians and security forces actively combating terrorism in Lac Province. These efforts are especially vital in areas frequently targeted by insurgents, where fear and division often take root.

By personally engaging with residents, addressing their concerns, and highlighting the strength of communal bonds, His Majesty Brahim Koromi Mahamat is reinforcing a culture of resilience. His leadership underscores a refusal to bow to intimidation, instead choosing to unite communities in defense of peace and stability.
