The village of Kerawa often used by the Boko Haram fighters to fire rockets into Fotokol has been taken over by the elite force of the Cameroon army known as Le Batailon d’intervention rapide (BIR).

After heavy exchange of artillery fire by both sides last night, Kerawa is now under the full control of the Cameroon military.

Cameroon Concord has learnt that BIR intends to block the water corridor linking Gambaru in Nigeria and Gambaru in Cameroon.
