The Islamic militants
Boko Haram are not the only radical religious group with the potential to cause
conflict in Cameroon. That's the warning from the Brussels-based think-tank the
International Crisis Group.
It
says that traditional Sufi Islam is increasingly challenged by the rise of more
rigorous Islamic ideology, mostly Wahhabism. And
within Christian communities, growing Revivalist Churches have no legal status
and are poorly-regarded by Catholics. Born-again
pastors often preach religious intolerance, it warns.
BBC report continues:
This
comes as at least 19 people have been killed and more than 100 wounded in twin
bomb attacks in northern Cameroon. Both blasts occurred in the town of Kerawa,
one near an army camp, the other in a market.
No-one has claimed
responsibility but militant group Boko Haram has attacked targets in the region
after Cameroon joined the campaign to end the Islamist insurgency.
