Paris - Chad's president Idriss Deby has accused Nigeria of downplaying the threat from Boko Haram and failing to co-operate with the regional coalition battling the jihadists, saying there had been zero contact between their armies.
"The whole world is asking why the Nigerian army, which is a big army... is not in a position to stand up to untrained kids armed with Kalashnikovs," Deby told French magazine Le Point, in an interview published this week.
Chad, Cameroon and Niger have joined forces since January to battle Boko Haram, whose insurgency has claimed more than 13 000 lives in northern Nigeria since 2009.
