The
good news is that the Chadian army has now been ordered to move into the Boko
Haram area and fight the terrorists. The Chadians are by far the best army in
the region. They certainly can achieve some results.
Now
the point is to see if the Nigerian government is prepared to accept such
deployment within its territory. I hope they will. And it should be possible
because there is already a cooperation framework between Chad, Nigeria and
Niger with the aim to fight terrorism around the Lake. But this is a time for
elections in Nigeria and some politicians might think that the Chadian intervention
might signal to the voters that the national authorities cannot do what the
Chadians can. Let´s hope that will not be the official position in Abuja.
