Cameroon says
multinational forces fighting Boko Haram have arrested over 300 Islamic
extremists and freed at least 2,000 people from their strongholds along
Cameroon, Nigeria and Chad borders.
Associated
Press report continues:
Cameroon's
commander of the joint forces, Bouba Dobekreo, said Tuesday that during the
three-day operation, forces also destroyed a Boko Haram training and logistic
base about 35 kilometers (22 miles) north of the Nigerian town of Kumshe.
The
governor of Cameroon's Far North province, Midjiyawa Bakari, has asked that all
displaced people be directed by the military to the Minawao refugee camp in
northern Cameroon to be better tracked.
Cameroon, Nigeria, Chad,
Niger and Benin have contributed about 9,000 troops to fight the six-year
insurgency launched by the Nigeria-based militants. More than 1,000
humanitarian workers have also been deployed.
