Cameroonian towns and villages near the border with
Nigeria have now been emptied of young men who are
believed to have been recruited to fight for the sect.
Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram is replenishing its
numbers by recruiting youths from the border regions of
Cameroon, security sources say.
Cameroonian towns and villages near the border with
Nigeria are said to have been emptied of young men who
are believed to have been recruited to fight for the sect.
This was disclosed by Joseph Nouma the commander of
Operation ALPHA, a special military operation set up by
Cameroon's government to fight the Nigerian terrorist
group.
"We don't doubt that Boko Haram is recruiting in Cameroon.
Many of them are found across the border in Nigeria,
training with the terrorists," Colonel Nouma told CNN.
"Boko Haram is a permanent metamorphosis, dying every
day but recruiting every day as well, and this complicates a
lot of things for us, " Colonel Jacob Kodji , interim
commander of the 4th Military Region, also said.
"We kill them, but they keep on coming," Nouma said
confirming Kodji's account.
Boko Haram has been attacking Cameroonian border towns
with increasing frequency lately due to its proximity to
Nigeria and in retaliation for Cameroon’s contribution to the
multi-national battle against the terrorist group.
