Suspected Boko Haram killers gunned down at least four people in Cameroon on Monday night in a sustained escalation of mass murder by a group of ruthless terrorists who have killed tens of thousands, displaced millions and kidnapped scores of women in recent years.
Local newspaper, L’Oeil du Sahel, said the four civilians were killed
in the locality of Bame near Kolofata in Cameroon’s far north along the border with Nigeria where the terrorists are based.
Although the Nigerian authorities are claiming that Boko Haram had been “technically defeated” since last December, the militants have continued to plan and launch deadly attacks into neighbouring countries from Nigeria.
More than 25,000 people have been killed in Nigeria within seven years while at least 1300 have been murdered in Cameroon, including at least 70 soldiers there since 2013.
More than 500, 000 children remain out of school and many kidnapped women and girls, including the Chibok girls are still out of sight, almost two years after they were abducted in their school.
President Paul Biya of Cameroon has vowed many times that the military will crush the terrorists within months but with the killings and bombings continuing, many are wondering if the 83-year old leader who has been in power for 33 years still has anything to offer to a country bent by poverty and gargantuan corruption, and now by terrorism.
