Boko Haram regarding the release of more than 200 Chibok girls
abducted in April continued.The country leader made this known while
speaking in N'Djamena adding that the talks were ongoing despite what
had been claimed by the sect leader Abubakar Shekau in the latest
video released October 31, Nigerian Tribune reports.
It would be recalled that Shekau had insisted that the school girls
had been married to Boko Haram militants and taken to their marital
homes.
Regarding the ceasefire agreementallegedly concluded between the
Federal Government and the sect in Chad, Shekau said such deal had
never existed at all.
Reacting to the development, Deby said the statement contradicted the
earlier meeting and announcement of a deal to release them.The top
politician also expressed concern over the future of his country in
the face of Boko Haram insurgency.
"With jihadist fighters prowling Libya's deserts to the North, al
Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb active in the West and rebels and
janjaweed militia battling in Sudan's Darfur region to its East, Chad
already finds itself in the eye of the storm… We are worried that they
will come here next."
The center of Boko Haram activity located less than 100 kilometres
from the Chadian capital. A security source in the country spoke
earlier this month about sleeper cells of Boko Haram in the Lake Chad
region. However they are no longer "sleeping", the source provides
the update now, adding that "they have started waking".It would be
noted that the Nigerian government was highly criticized after the
news about the ceasefire deal broke out. Many claimed the agreement
was fake.
The devastated Chibok parents expressed shock and disappointment upon
seeing Shekau's new video, in which the terrorist said that the girls
would not come back home.
Meanwhile the Federal Government insists that the negotiations
regarding the children's release are still ongoing.
