The confrontation yesterday Saturday, November 14, 2015 between Cameroonian soldiers and the attackers from Nigeria, resulted in the killing of at least five insurgents.

For weeks now suspected members of the Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram attack Cameroon repeatedly. Thus, after a slight pause, the almost two years war between Cameroon and the Nigerian Islamic sect is in full swing.

On Saturday night, November 14, 2015, the attackers left neighboring Nigeria to perpetrate another incursion at Afadé, a town in the Far North of Cameroon, the only region that suffers the exactions of Boko Haram. They were taken by surprise.

Cameroon's defense forces observed the movement of the enemies and attacked killing at least five Boko Haram members, according to Guiba Gatama, keeping us very informed about the progress of the war.

Before the unsuccessful raid, the attackers had however managed to hit Cameroon at least twice in 24 hours. Particularly on the night of Friday, November 13, 2015, terrorists attacked the towns of Amchide, Double and Achigachia. Before they were pushed back by the Cameroon military, the insurgents had killed four children, burnt vehicles and two trucks carrying food.

For two weeks in November 2015, at least fifteen incursions were recorded. They were often fatal for the terrorists on Cameroonian territory. This is proof that the war is far from complete in a month of the deadline set by the Heads of State of Chad, Cameroon and Nigeria.
