The 25th of January 2016 is a day that Cameroon will never forget. Our nation and its people both at home and in the diaspora experienced one of the deadliest attacks in terms of loss of life and injuries. The attacks deep inside the homeland came from the Nigerian Islamic sect, Boko Haram. To be sure, four suicide bombers including young girls, blew themselves up in a market square located in the beautiful town of Bodo in the Far North region. Agents of the Cameroon Concord Intelligence Unit operating in Maroua, the capital of the Far North region reported that 32 people were killed including the four suicide bombers. Correspondingly, more than sixty innocent Cameroonian citizens were wounded-this is the price we are paying for being neighbors to a country where no leader takes responsibility, no leader ever dare to apologize to us and no leader pays compensation.
Since January the 2nd 2016, the lifestyle of our people in the Far North and the East regions has been disrupted following the rhythm of incursions by members of Boko Haram and the so called rebels from the Central African Republic. Within the last 26 days, the Nigerian Islamic sect, Boko Haram have conducted 19 attacks in the departments of Logone and Chari, Mayo-Sava and Mayo-Tsanaga in the Far North region of Cameroon without any strong condemnation from the APC led government of Buhari in Nigeria. These vicious and malicious attacks have claimed the lives of 74 Cameroonian citizens. Economically, the material losses are enormous for our people and also for our defense forces. Our chief correspondent in Abuja, Nigeria hinted that it is all business as usual. Retired General Buhari simply does not care about a terrorist group that his quest for power helped in creating in Northern Nigeria. He is everything in today's Nigeria including acting as Head of State and Minister for Petroleum.
The Boko Haram war that began in 2013, has largely been mismanaged by successive Nigerian military officers who go around with loud sounding nothing titles as Brigadier Generals. The loss of life is getting heavier since the beginning of 2016. We of this publication believe and fervently too that the time has come for our political leadership to consider invading the Northern regions of Nigeria. We have been fed political rhetoric from Abuja that Boko Haram will soon be a thing of the past. However, during this year and January alone, Boko Haram has killed more Cameroonian citizens that cancer, HIV, malaria, Hepatitis B and C combined. Our brothers, sisters and children in the Far North region most affected by these Boko Haram atrocities have lost sleep. A recent explosion at the 1st sector of the Joint Multinational Task Force against Boko Haram headed by an inexperienced Nigerian army general saw our people;women and children escaping towards the mountains. They are aware that we are facing an enemy that does not sleep. We of Cameroon Concord understand that Boko Haram is now a big business in Nigeria and has eventually made many Nigerian citizens billionaires.
In a country where elections are rigged even in Boko Haram held areas, where armed robbery is a daily routine, where human life has no value and where political killings are rampant, the APC/PDP billionaires are helping Boko Haram militants to be smart and to exchange strategies over time. So, recently they concealed explosives in containers transporting fruits. Our men and women in uniform are gradually adapting to the constantly changing tactics of the members of the Boko Haram but for how long?
On January 26, 2016, our Special Forces captured nine Boko Haram terrorists in Achigachia and a Nigerian town of Gakara and killed a dozen others during an operation. They also succeeded in destroying three armored vehicles operated by Boko Haram. The Chadian soldiers have left amid speculation that their coffers are empty and that the French were planning to topple President Idris Deby via his son who is also a general in the army. There exist no proper collaboration with the Joint Multinational Force whose only small stock piles of ammunition have been destroyed by an imaginary fire at Mora. As we write today January 28, 2016, our military informant has announced a new attack in the city of Kerawa precisely in a camp hosting Nigerian refugees. There is talk of an act of terrorism involving suspected Boko Haram suicide bombers. As our intelligence unit prepares to provide you with the balance sheet of this new attack, we are saying that the time is ripe for a complete military action in Northern Nigeria.

The United States is urging the invited Syrian opposition groups to participate in the upcoming talks in Geneva “without preconditions.” The talks on a ceasefire were supposed to have started on Monday, but they have been put off until Friday due to disagreements over who should sit at the negotiating table. At a press briefing on Wednesday, State Department Spokesman Mark Toner called on opposition groups to seize "a historic opportunity" to show up in Geneva and propose practical ways to implement a ceasefire and ease the humanitarian crisis. "We believe it should seize this opportunity to test the [Syrian] regime's willingness and intentions and expose before the entire world which parties are serious about a potential peaceful political transition in Syria and which are not," Toner said.
Opposition groups concluded their meetings in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday without reaching a final decision on whether they would attend the Geneva talks. The so-called High Negotiations Committee has postponed until Thursday a decision. The Syrian government delegation will attend the talks. While the United States says representatives of the Syrian government should participate in the talks, it insists President Bashar al-Assad cannot be part of Syria’s future. Russia and Iran, two participants in the talks, say that decision is up to the Syrian people. The US, Saudi Arabia and over two dozen other countries are taking part in the talks.
Russia’s foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, said Tuesday it was “the biggest mistake” to set “irrelevant conditions” instead of focusing on the fight against terrorism. “When there are attempts to put conditions for collective fight against terrorism, conditions that are irrelevant, such as ‘if you agree to a regime change, for example, in Syria, then we will for real begin to fight terrorism collectively’... that is, I believe, the biggest mistake,” he said. On December 18, 2015, the UN Security Council adopted a resolution, calling for a nationwide ceasefire in Syria and the formation of a “credible, inclusive and non-sectarian” government within six months. Syria has been grappling with a foreign-backed militancy since early 2011. More than 260,000 people have reportedly been killed and almost eight million others have been displaced.
