 11 civilians killedin their sleep as Boko Haram terrorists attack a village in CameroonBoko Haram fighters attacked a village in Cameroon’s troubled Far North Region overnight and killed 11 civilians in their sleep, security sources told AFP on Friday. “Boko Haram made an incursion at night in the Tchakamari area. The toll is 11,” a source close to security services in the area said, confirming a report from a member of a local self-defence militia. It was the deadliest Boko Haram raid in recent months in Cameroon. The bodies were “charred”, the source close to security services said, adding that the attackers had burnt the village. The dead included both children and the aged and began at around 10 pm and lasted until about 1 am Friday. The Boko Haram conflict began in 2009 in neighbouring Nigeria and has killed more than 27,000 people and left 1.8 million homeless in the country’s northeast.   The violence has spilt into neighbouring Niger, Chad and Cameroon.The post 11 civilians killedin their sleep as Boko Haram terrorists attack a village in Cameroon appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
