11,000 displaced in 2 days of Boko Haram attacks

The rate at which people are pouring into Cameroonian is posing a frightening situation by the abuses of the Islamist sect Boko Haram, these last days in Gambarou (Ngara) in Nigeria.

The horror of the atrocities of recent weeks is at the premise of this massive rush into Cameroon. The locality of Fotokol in the Logone and Chari has already recorded in the space of 48 hours, nearly 11,000 displaced. A situation which comes at a time when the difficulties associated with support of refugees from Nigerians installed throughout the far North is expanding.

"Boko Haram kills everything that moves to Gambarou-Ngara for a couple of days now. People fleeing the terror take refuge in Cameroon. It is virtually impossible to stop this migration", said a local authority under the heat of the action.

A police source said that a Cameroonian who lived in Gambarou (Ngara) has literally been executed during these abuses. Alhadji Modu Bassama was killed together with a dozen other people in the Nigerian village. The body of the Cameroonian was transferred to Fotokol for burial. After nursing chaos in the border area, Boko Haram insurgents, have besieged and plundered homes and other merchants spaces.

A few days ago, terrorists did explode the bridge connecting Gambarou (Ngara) in Maiduguri.

At the time where the Nigerian people flock in numbers on the Cameroonian soil, these same Nigerian forces rely on the Cameroonian army to hunt down infiltrations. In the current state of things, the far North region is also at the edge of a humanitarian crisis.
