In a recent statement, the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) corrected earlier reports, acknowledging that the Chadian Armed Forces solely conducted the operation against Boko Haram terrorists within the Chadian territory.
The Chadian military successfully neutralized 70 terrorists and destroyed five camps within their territory.
Lieutenant Colonel Abubakar Abdullahi, Chief Military Public Information Officer of the MNJTF, issued the clarification on July 2, 2024, attributing the achievement to the Chadian forces following media reports from some major platforms. The Chadian military had previously announced their success during a press conference on June 30, 2024.
The MNJTF apologized for any confusion caused by their earlier press release and commended the Chadian forces for their significant contributions to combating terrorism. The Task Force emphasized the importance of accurate reporting and pledged to provide clear information to ensure proper attribution of military operations.
This clarification highlights the crucial role of the Chadian forces in the fight against Boko Haram and the need for precise reporting to acknowledge their achievements.
