Boko Haram


With the continuous growth of concern surrounding the
Boko Haram attacks of Northern Nigeria making

headlines, the Nigerian government has gone publicly to

state that it’s neighboring nation Cameroon, has failed to

assist in stopping the violent rampages. However, due to
Boko Haram allegedly fleeing and taking residence in

neighboring countries like Congo, Chad, Cameroon etc,

Cameroon has taken lead and gone on the defensive.

When President Paul Biya ordered 1,000 military officers

to the Northern borders of Cameroon, to ensure that the

terrorist sect does not invade the nation, or use it’s

grounds as a secret base for their operations. Within it’s

first active week in the battle against terrorism,

Cameroonian militia has reportedly kill 102 armed Boko

Haram members within the joining borders of Nigeria

and Cameroon.


This fact has brought upon a lot of backlash from

Nigerians to Cameroon, several going on blogs to declare

that Nigerian Military is better than Cameroon’s so, the

Reuters publication simply cannot be true. We must ask

ourselves however if at a time of such unrest, our main

focus should be on which nation’s military is better,

especially considering, the two nations are fighting

towards the same goal of eradicating self-declared

kidnappers, molesters and murders.

We must all keep in mind that the most important part

right now is not competition against each other, but

alliance towards a common goal.
