Chad has announced the immediate closure of its border with Nigeria, citing security concerns following reports of alleged U.S. military plans in Nigeria.
Report stated that the directive was issued by Chadian President Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno, who ordered a complete military lockdown along the Nigerian border after intelligence suggested that terr+rist elements from northern Nigeria were preparing to flee into Chadian territory.
According to report, Military sources in N’Djamena confirmed that the Chadian army has been placed on full alert, with troops and armoured vehicles deployed across key border corridors linking the two countries.
President Déby was quoted as saying that “no armed group or foreign force will be allowed to enter Chadian soil under any disguise.”
The move comes amid heightened regional tension and growing speculation over America’s alleged military activities in parts of West Africa.
Security analysts, said the closure was a preventive measure aimed at safeguarding Chadian sovereignty and preventing possible infiltration by armed groups exploiting regional instability.
Why Nigerian authorities must do more in their fight against terrorists, bandits and kidnappers, it should be noted that America and NATO allies trained most of the terrorists troubling the region and provided them with weapons. Certainly, US is looking for a country rich in oil reserves to occupy in the name of whatever operation, if Venezuela isn't visible for a military occupations, Nigeria should.
Nigeria government may actually lack the support of the majority of the citizens if US should attack going by the style of APC administration policies since 2015 that has been anti people, insecurity, herdsmen, banditry and kidnapping for ransoms in one hand and lack of free, fair and credible elections and modulation and destruction of opposition political parties as the country on the verge of one party system on the other hand as people's hope of getting out of bad economy maybe that the APC government come to an end by any means necessary.
The desires of many Nigerians is for the leadership of Bola Ahmed Tinubu led APC federal government to made public, the financials and sponsors of terrorism in Nigeria, made them to face justice. Such Sharia law the justified the killings of Deborah Yakubu in Sokoto State and declared the killers acquainted is questionable must be reviewed.
Condemning US president Donald Trump for the American planned intervention maybe very good and sound patriotic but it doesn't answer one major question everyone is avoiding.
The Nigerian army that fought for just two and a half years to defeat Biafra in a war that did not end until every last centre metre of the Soutb East was reclaimed back in Nigerian hands. So why has the same strong sub regional army tamely surrendered an area four times the size of Biafra to insurgents in the last 15 years. How can you oppose foreign intervention on the grounds of sovereignty in land you have surrendered the same sovereignty for more than a decade..?
