Gang of 80 suspected Boko Haram men attack village in Cameroon and kill 23

#bokoharam #cameroon #nigeria #islamicstate A gang of more than 80 assailants stormed the village of Kamouna, located near Lake Chad in the northern strip of Cameroon that lies between Nigeria and Chad and killed 23 – most of the dead are children.
It is suspected to be an attack by Boko Haram militants as reported in zeenews.india.com dated 21 July 2015.

There were hardly seven soldiers guarding the village and they were no match against the gang. The residents of the village had requested the military for more protection last week following raids by suspected Boko Haram fighters on the village and stealing livestock.
Nigeria-based Boko Haram has recently linked up with the Islamic State group and has been targeting northern Cameroon continuously in retaliation for its participation in a regional military effort against the extremists. Last week, bombs had been planted at a bar in north Cameroon by suspected Boko Haram fighters and 14 people were killed in that attack.
