Terrorists
The Commander of G5 Sahel, Brigadier General Oumarou Namata
Gazama earlier today visited the Headquarters Multinational Joint
Task Force (MNJTF) in N’Djamena, Chad.
In his remarks, Brigadier General Gazama stated that the G5
Sahel and the MNJTF both have coordinate responsibilities of
eliminating the threats of terrorism and Insurgency in the Sahel
and the Lake Chad Basin, respectively.
He noted that visiting the MNJTF will give him and members of
his team the opportunity to understand the modus operandi of the
MNJTF. He noted that the experience garnered will come in handy in
overcoming some of the challenges that G5 Sahel is currently
dealing with. He thanked the Force Commander MNJTF for receiving
him despite the short notice.
Speaking earlier, Major General Ibrahim Yusuf thanked Brigadier
General Gazama for creating time to visit the MNJTF, noting that
the visit is auspicious and significant, considering that it is
just his second month in office. He added that the visit will
create opportunity for both Commanders to share experiences which
will facilitate better appreciation of the operational environment.
The Force Commander acknowledged the similarities in the
responsibilities of the two forces and stated that there is an
urgent need for synergy and collaboration.
Present during the visit were the MNJTF Deputy Force Commander,
Brigadier General Nouma Mellingui, the Chief of Staff, Colonel Tom
Djery and Chiefs of Cells, among others.
(The G5 Sahel is a subregional peace and security framework
