At Least 23 Chadian Soldiers Killed in Boko Haram Attack

Pro-government narrative

Boko Haram’s attack on Barka Tolorom island shows this insurgency is far from finished — 23 Chadian soldiers were killed and 26 wounded as militants exploit Lake Chad’s marshes and islands to strike at will. The terrain gives them a persistent tactical edge that even sustained offensives have struggled to neutralize. Chad’s forces are carrying the burden on the front line and deserve stronger regional coordination and international backing to decisively dismantle this threat.
