Regional cooperation cannot be ignored in ensuring effective security in the Lake Chad Basin.
In 2024, Chad threatened to withdraw from the Multi-national Joint Task Force (MNJTF) that has been responsible for fighting extremism in the Lake Chad Basin. This threat was significant because Chad has historically played a leading military role in the region, often deploying some of the most experienced and battle-hardened troops.
A withdrawal by Chad would not only weaken the operational strength of the MNJTF but also undermine the political unity that the force symbolizes. Such a move risked creating a ripple effect, potentially encouraging other member states to reconsider their commitments and thereby eroding the collective framework that has been carefully built over time.
