6. In his massage to the troops, the Force Commander MNJTF commended the efforts of the troops and especially the commanders for their coordination of these operations, he urged them not to relent in degrading the BHT/ISWAP logistics couriers which would have an overall impact positively on our counter Insurgency operations. He reminded them that the insurgency is almost collapsed and urged them to collectively deal a death blow on the insurgents. He reassured them of the support of Headquarters MNJTF always and called on the population of the Lake Chad Basin to be observant and report any suspicious activity to the Security forces.
