Chad pulls out soldiers from fighting Boko Haram in Nigeria

Chad Republic has withdrawn from its years-long mission of fighting Boko Haram in neighbouring Nigeria after it pulled out 1,200-strong force from Nigeria’s battlefield.

An army spokesman disclosed this to AFP on Saturday.

“It’s our troops who went to aid Nigerian soldiers months ago returning home. They have finished their mission,” spokesman Colonel Azem Bermandoa told AFP.

“None of our soldiers remains in Nigeria,” he added, without specifying whether they might be replaced following Friday’s pullout”.
