Boko Haram Terrorists Control Cameroonian Town Near Nigeria

Friday 23 October 2015
Boko Haram Terrorists  Control Cameroonian Town Near Nigeria
Alwaght- Boko Haram Takfiri terrorists have taken control of a town in the far north of Cameroon which lies on the border with Nigeria, security and regional sources said.
Security sources say the Takfiri terrorists seized Cameroonian border town of Kerawa tearly Friday morning with reports saying the country's army had sent in reinforcements.
It was not immediately clear whether troops had engaged in any fighting with the Takfiri terrorists.
Security sources “several people” were killed inside the mosques in the town on Thursday, with unconfirmed report saying 11 people had died during the attacks carried out by Boko Haram terrorists.
Kerawa, which has 50,000 inhabitants, is located in the Kolofata district that is regularly targeted by Boko Haram.
There is a military camp inside the town, which was last hit by a double suicide bombing on September 3, which claimed at least 30 lives.
Cameroon, Chad and Niger have formed a military alliance with Nigeria and Benin to battle the extremists, who this year declared allegiance to the Islamic State.
The terrorists’ grip on the region has suffered as a result of offensives launched by local armies.
But the group maintains strongholds in areas that are difficult to access, such as the Sambisa forest, the Mandara mountains and the numerous islands of Lake Chad.
Also on Friday, at least 28 people were killed in a suspected Boko Haram bombing at a mosque in Maiduguri in northeast Nigeria.
The terrorists have been waging a seven-year insurrection against the northeast of Nigeria that has killed almost 17,000 people. Earlier September, the International Organization for Migration revised upwards its estimate of those internally displaced by the conflict from 1.5 million to more than 2.1 million because of the recent surge in attacks.
In August newly elected Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari  ordered a new set of military chiefs to end Boko Haram’s bloody reign of terror within three months.
The Boko Haram terrorist group, whose name, in Hausa language, means Western education is forbidden, has also pledged allegiance to the ISIS terrorist group.
