About 70 terrorists and their camps, which were located on islands throughout the Cameroonian and Nigerian regions of Lake Chad, have been neutralised, according to the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) of Operation Lake Sanity 2.
Eight vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices (VBIEDs) in Arinna Ciki and two munitions bunkers northeast of Malam Fatori were destroyed as a consequence of the operation, according to a statement from Lieutenant Colonel Abubakar Abdullahi, Chief Military Public Information Officer, HQ MNJTF Ndjamena-Chad.
The statement said that the military had given the terrorists a fatal blow after receiving assistance from the Chadian Rapid Intervention Force.
According to the statement:
“The MNJTF extends its appreciation to the Chadian Armed Forces for their invaluable cooperation and support in the fight against terrorism. We also acknowledge the vital contributions from other troop-contributing countries, including Operation Emergence 4 Cameroon, Operation Hadin Kai Nigeria, and Sector 4 Niger, which were instrumental in the success of Operation Lake Sanity 2.”
The statement also stated that “we will continue to work tirelessly with our partners to achieve and sustain this critical goal,” indicating that the MNJTF is still dedicated to carrying out its purpose of eliminating terrorism and bringing peace back to the Lake Chad Basin.
