Despite a decrease in deadly attacks, Cameroon said
suspected Boko Haram fighters have been seizing food and
livestock from farmers and cattle ranchers on its northern
border with Nigeria for the past few weeks. Most of the
food producers are now relocating to safer areas away
from the border.
Midjiyawa Bakari, Governor of the region of the far North,
said the armed insurgents carry out raids in groups of 5
to10 - seizing cattle, food and money from residents along
Cameroon's border with Nigeria's Borno state.
He said the very long and porous border with Nigeria
makes it possible for the insurgents to attack crop
farmers, cattle ranchers and small businesses and quickly
make a getaway.
Sali Dairou, a member of the National Assembly from
northern Cameroon, told VOA some of the farmers who
refuse to cooperate with the assailants have been killed.
But the governor said the inability of Boko Haram to
organize a major attack on Cameroon for more than two
months now is an indication they are finding it very difficult
to regroup themselves in Nigeria due to the offensives
carried out by the new regional military force with troops
from Cameroon, Chad and Nigeria.
He said he is very sure Boko Haram will be terminated
soon and that today, everyone can see that the end of the
terrorist group is near.
The last major attack by Boko Haram on Cameroonian
territory was on January 10, 2015 at Fotokol - when about
300 assailants killed 500 people.
