Breaking! Slaughter of Biafrans ongoing in Chad

Biafrans in Chad are being killed. This is according to a caller on Radio Biafra who passed the message during the evening broadcast  of Saturday. The caller stated that the killing was being carried out clandestinely and believes the Chadian government may not be aware of this and wanted Radio Biafra to break the news to the entire world.

Another caller from Chadian capital N'Djamena, added that since Boko Haram detonated bombs in the Chadian capital few weeks ago, Chadian security forces rounded up many Biafrans and took them to an undisclosed location.

The Biafran correspondent are trying to confirm the report and will bring you details later.

This is happening barely few weeks after Buhari visited Chad.

The Biafran recalls that Chad warplanes bombed Boko Haram positions in neighbouring Nigeria to avenge Boko Haram's twin suicide bombings in the capital t.

Chad's military vowed it would continue its "merciless" pursuit of the armed group "so that no drop of spilt Chadian blood goes unpunished".

"In response to the cowardly and barbaric acts perpetrated by Boko Haram terrorists... the armed forces carried out reprisal air strikes on the terrorists' positions in Nigerian territory on Wednesday," the military said in a statement on Thursday.

Six Boko Haram bases were destroyed in the air raids, which caused "considerable human and material losses", it said, without giving further details.

The attack on the police headquarters and a police academy in N'Djamena were the first in the capital of the central African country, which has taken a lead role in a regional offensive against the Nigeria-based Boko Haram.

Chad also banned the full-face veil and ordered security forces to seize burqas from markets and burn them.

"Wearing the burqa must stop immediately from today, not only in public places and schools but throughout the whole of the country," Prime Minister Kalzeube Pahimi Deubet told religious leaders the day before the start of the holy Muslim month of Ramadan.

Any type of clothing that leaves only the eyes visible is a form of "camouflage" and is now banned, he added, asking religious leaders to spread the message in mosques, churches and other holy places.

Deubet said security forces in the Muslim majority country had been instructed to "go into the markets and to seize all the burqas on sale and burn them".

Anyone found wearing a burqa will be "arrested, tried and sentenced in summary proceedings", he added.
