1/3 This success story about #Chad cleaning up in just a few days the Lake Chad region from #BokoHaram forces is really puzzling because it means either A) this is a publicity stunt and nothing meaningful has been accomplished, BH will come back once the operation is over & Chad https://twitter.com/IdrissDebyI/status/1246414308269068294

2/3 is not the military power-house it claims to be, or B) this is indeed the success president Idriss Deby says it is and it confirms Chad military might - but if so, really makes us question what the hell they had been doing all this time BH was active! Was this only a question

3/3 of political will? Why not act sooner then? Also, it would reflect quite poorly on Niger and Nigeria's military capabilities. In either cases, the swiftness and the alleged success of the operation certainly raises more questions than it answers.
