A new terrorist attack in
Cameroon by the Islamist group Boko Haram killed 10 fishermen from Lake Chad at
the north of the country, local television reported. The attack against these
workers in the district of Darak, is part of an offensive of the terrorist
group, the source added.
The Nigeria-based militant group, Boko Haram, has increased its actions in the region. Last Sunday, the group conducted an attack against the southwestern town of Bosso, Niger, during which 32 were killed and 67 were wounded.
Boko Haram spread in 2015 to other countries of the region, such as Niger, Chad, Nigeria, Cameroon and Benin. These countries formed a coalition with 8.700 soldiers to fight against the group.
According to official numbers, the fundamentalist organization has caused more than 17,000 deaths and displaced 2.6 million people since it began operating in 2009 in Nigeria with the objective of imposing an Islamic state.
