President Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno of Chad made a bold declaration in the aftermath of a devastating assault: “We will intensify our efforts with renewed vigor until this scourge is completely eliminated.” His statement followed an audacious strike by a Boko Haram splinter faction against the military outpost in Barka Tolorom, situated along the Chad side of Lake Chad. The attack claimed the lives of 24 soldiers, underscoring the persistent threat posed by the insurgent group.
