"A reconnaissance patrol ambushed by Boko Haram in Tchoukou Maria," a group of islets on the border between Chad and Nigeria, said Chadian army spokesman General Azem Bermendoa Agouna.

In fact, this attack claimed the lives of six soldiers while twelve others were wounded. The army neutralized a dozen terrorists, said the spokesman. Lake Chad, a vast expanse of water and swamps dotted with inhabited islets, serves as a hideout for the Boko Haram group from neighboring Nigeria and its dissident branch, the Islamic State in West Africa (Iswap) group.

The Boko Haram insurgency began in 2009 in northeastern Nigeria before spreading to neighboring countries, especially around Lake Chad: Niger, Cameroon and Chad. Since then, more than 36,000 people (mainly in Nigeria) have been killed, and 3 million have had to flee their homes, according to the UN. (google translate)

« Une patrouille de reconnaissance est tombée dans une embuscade de Boko Haram à Tchoukou Maria », un groupe d’îlots sur la frontière entre le Tchad et le Nigeria, a déclaré le porte parole de l’armée tchadienne, le général Azem Bermendoa Agouna.

En effet, cette attaque a coûté la vie à six soldats alors que douze autres ont été blessés. L’armée a neutralisé une dizaine de terroristes, indique le porte-parole. Le Lac Tchad, une vaste étendue d’eau et de marécages parsemée d’îlots habités sert de repaire au groupe Boko Haram originaire du Nigeria voisin et sa branche dissidente, le groupe Etat Islamique en Afrique de l’Ouest (Iswap).

L’insurrection de Boko Haram est née en 2009 dans le Nord-Est du Nigeria avant de se propager dans les pays voisins, notamment autour du lac Tchad: Niger, Cameroun et Tchad. Depuis, plus de 36.000 personnes (principalement au Nigeria) ont été tuées, et 3 millions ont dû fuir leur domicile, selon l’ONU.

I like the way they worded it.

When asked about Boko Haram, Joe Biden replied that he’s always loved their recording of “A Whiter Shade of Pale.”

Personally, I preferred 'Conquistador', as performed with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra in 1971 at 'The Jube' (The Jubilee Theatre). That was a staple on 'classic rock' stations in Canada for decades. (Click link)
