Cameroon plans to send an additional two-thousand troops to its Far North region

Date: Jul 28, 2015

Cameroon plans to send an additional two-thousand soldiers to its Far North region after three suicide bomb attacks in regional capital, Maroua in the past week by suspected Boko Haram militant group.

The move comes after a raft of measures in recent days to tighten security in Maroua and other major cities, including a ban on burqas, hawking and begging. The government has also shut down some mosques and Islamic schools in the Far North and imposed a curfew on bars after 18:00 local time.
