Called “Taanli” (“cohesion” in the Gulamanchema language), the operation, which has been going on since June 10, was planned by a joint staff between Burkina Faso and Niger.
as reported from Ouagadougou, Yaya Boudani
This operation mobilized ground and air forces from both countries and several hundred men, according to the General Staff of the Burkinabè armies.
As a result, the General Staff announced the neutralization of one hundred terrorists. Weapons of war, shotguns, about 100 motorcycles and vehicles were seized and destroyed. Bars with explosives, sulfuric acid, detonating cords and other materials used in the manufacture of improvised explosive devices were also seized.
For General Salifou Modi, Chief of Staff of the Nigerian Armed Forces, these results meet expectations. “A large part of their logistics has been destroyed, and in particular the means used by these terrorists to slow down our troops,” he said.
According to General Moïse Miningou, commander of the Burkinabé armies, the people will live quietly for some time in the areas affected by the operation. “And we think that’s what’s important,” he added.
General Moïse Miningou promises that a second operation of the same kind and more will be carried out in connection with the fight against terrorism.
