Cameroon and Boko Haram

Boko Haram: This development has been welcomed by many Nigerians. "I don't think it a bad idea that the Chadians came into Nigeria because there have been discussions going on about how the West African countries can come together to fight terrorism," a resident of Lagos told DW correspondent there. Terrorism is a global phenomenon, he said, "and it is definitely escalating into Chad, Niger, Cameroon and other countries.", according to Deutsche Welle. Fotokol residents said Boko Haram fighters had cut the throats of civilians and set the mosque on fire. After operations against Boko Haram in neighboring Cameroon, Chadian troops are now fighting the insurgents inside Nigeria. On Wednesday 04.02.2015 the Chadian military announced that Chadian troops had killed at least 200 fighters of the Boko Haram terror group in Gambaru in northeastern Nigeria. One day earlier, soldiers from Chad had for the first time advanced into the region controlled by Boko Haram. The Islamist fighters fled across the border to Cameroon where they became involved in heavy fighting with troops from Chad and Cameroon in the border town of Fotokol which is separated from Gambaru by a 500 meter 546 yards -long bridge.
