Chadian President Fires Army Chief over Boko Haram Killings

Chadian President, Idriss Deby, has sacked his country's top most army chief, Brahim Seid Mahamat, over the resurgence of Boko Haram attacks that  resulted in the death of 23 soldiers.
The President fired the defense chief and two of his deputies by a presidential decree after six years in the post on Friday night.
 This came just hours after the attack in the southwest of the country.
According to BBC, the soldiers were murdered after being ambushed by the jihadists in the early hours of Friday morning in the deadliest attack on the Chadian military by Boko Haram, which launched an insurgency in Nigeria ten years ago.
The tension has spread to the nearby country, Niger and Chad with the Boko Haram attack claiming more than 27,000 lives and displacing more than 1.7 million people.
The deadly Friday attack took place at Dangdala, on the northeastern bank of Lake Chad.
