Boko Haram kills 92 Chadian soldiers in seven-hour attack
Overnight raid is the latest sign of the jihadists’ growing power in Chad’s border area
Ninety-two Chadian soldiers have been killed in the deadliest attack ever by Boko Haram jihadists on armed forces in the country, President Idriss Déby Itno said on Tuesday.
The attack is part of an expanding jihadist campaign in the vast, marshy Lake Chad area, where the borders of Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria converge.
