33 soldiers killed in 6-month Boko Haram fight

The Cameroonian army through the head of the communications division at the Ministry of defence, Lieutenant-Colonel Didier Badjeck, has in the edition of the Cameroon Tribune of this November 11, conducted the first assessment of the war against Boko Haram.

33 valiant Cameroonian soldiers have lost their lives in the far north of the country between May 17, 2014 and November 10, 2014 according to the Ministry of defence who reported these figures in the Government daily, Cameroon Tribune.

In the same communication, the head of the division of communication in the Ministry of defence indicates that this same war has caused the deaths of thousands of men on the side of the Nigerian terrorist group who already occupy several cities in the three Nigerian Northeastern States.

This balance sheet drawn up by Lieutenant-Colonel Didier Badjeck was recorded during the 18 attacks wiped by the Cameroonian defense forces stationed throughout the northern Nigeria border.

Six months of commitment on the war front, Cameroon plays defensively. "We have no offensive moves. We are defending our territory. Whenever there is an incursion, we treat the objective", says Lieutenant-Colonel Didier Badjeck in Cameroon tribune.

Fotokol, Kolofata, Kousseri, Amchide, Mora, Mokolo and Banki, all Cameroonian cities still remain affected in one way or another by the various attacks of the Islamist sect.

The proximity of Fotokol with the city of Gambarou in Nigeria where the Islamists have installed their base forced Cameroon to desert this border town. Schools, health centres and some administrative offices of the locality have closed in fear of rockets fired daily at Gambarou by the Islamists.
