The extraordinary summit of the Council for Peace and Security in Central Africa ends in Yaoundé with member states pledging the sum of 50 billion CFA Francs as support to Cameroon and Chad in the ongoing fight against Boko Haram.

The summit ended with a state banquet offered by the Cameroonian Head of State, Paul Biya and wife Chantal in honour of the six heads of state and four representatives of Heads of States who took part in the Yaoundé summit.

A number of Heads of States who attended the Yaounde summit left Cameroon to their respective countries shortly after the state dinner though others opted to spend one more night with their host.

President Ali Bongo Ondimba of Gabon, Theodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasongo of Equatorial Guinea and Chadian President, Idriss Deby Itno all left Yaounde shortly after the Unity palace banquet.

Before boarding his flight, the Gabonese leader granted an interview to CRTV reporters at the Nsimalen International airport in which he re-iterated the heads of state's determination to eradicate Boko Haram. He however warned that this may take longer than expected.

ECCAS chairman, Chadian President Idriss Deby Itno also saluted the firm engagements taken at the close of the summit; engagements which seek to eradicate Boko Haram from its roots.

Just like at the arrivals, prior to each take off, Prime Minister, Head of Government Philemon Yang was on hand to bid farewell to the respective delegations.
