"If we don't eradicate them, we won't be capable of saving our Lake Chad," he said."...
"Chad's leader has called for the urgent creation of a regional force to tackle Nigerian Boko Haram militants.
The Islamist group operates in northern Nigeria, but President Idriss Deby said it was posing a threat to its neighbours around Lake Chad.
"Our basin is exposed to insecurity because of the permanent threat posed by Boko Haram," he said.
Nigeria has been struggling to contain attacks by the militants who want to impose Islamic law in the country.
On Monday, a suicide attack on a police station in Taraba state, which borders Cameroon, killed at least 11 people. No-one has claimed responsibility for the bombing, but Boko Haram militants have carried out many similar attacks.
They have targeted government institutions, churches and bars as well as mosques belonging to rival Muslim groups across northern Nigeria over the last 20 months.
Last year, the group also attacked the UN headquarters in Nigeria's capital, Abuja.
"I am demanding the creation of a joint deterrence force. We have to make this decision here today," President Deby told a meeting of the Lake Chad Basin Commission, which includes Chad, Cameroon, Niger, Nigeria and the Central African Republic.
If we don't eradicate them, we won't be capable of saving our Lake Chad," he said."...

Ed. note: If it's taken over by terrorists, no amount of US taxpayer money could fill the Lake back up. Also UN Sec. Gen. Ban Ki-moon uses Lake Chad to sell global warming.

UN courts Hollywood, asks for global warming story lines:
2/21/11, "Global warming: the United Nations courts Tinseltown," LA Times blogs, Greenspace
"The United Nations has long courted celebrities for its peace-keeping and anti-poverty efforts, from Mia Farrow and Ricky Martin to George Clooney and Angelina Jolie.
It is a mutually beneficial arrangement.
Hollywood stars grasp at gravitas; the U.N. pushes for publicity.
Now the beleaguered multi-national agency, fresh from a disappointing round of climate negotiations in Cancun, wants something more concrete:
- actual story lines in movies,
- television and social media drawing attention
to the dangers of global warming.
The push comes at a time when public concern over climate change has plummeted in the polls and Congress has rejected federal legislation to curb greenhouse gas emissions.
“Usually I speak to prime ministers and presidents, but that has its limits” said U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who arrived in Los Angeles on Monday for a high-profile outreach effort.
- “Movie producers, directors, actors — they have global reach.”...

"The Green Climate Fund, which is supposed to help mobilize as much as $100 billion a year to lower global greenhouse gases, is seeking a broad blanket of U.N.-style immunity that would shield its operations from any kind of legal process, including civil and criminal prosecution, in the countries where it operates."...
