ISWAP fighters
At least 12 Chadian soldiers have been killed near Lake Chad following an attack on their base by Islamist militants, local authorities say.
Forty jihadists were also killed after the attack on Monday morning in the Kaya district, according to local governor Mahamat Fadoul Mackaye.
The area is also home to a base for Islamists groups including Boko Haram and the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), AFP reports.
In another development, at least five people were killed during Tuesday’s protests against the military takeover in Chad, prosecutors said.
“There were four deaths in N’Djamena,” including “one killed by the demonstrators”, AFP news wire quotes the capital’s prosecutor Youssouf Tom as saying.
A fourth person was killed in the southern city of Moundou, another prosecutor told AFP.
