Cameroon

Suspected Boko Haram militants kidnapped two Italian priests and an elderly Canadian nun in the Maroua district of northern Cameroon near the Nigerian border. The Nigerian military recently confirmed that it is working jointly with Cameroon in efforts against the terrorist group. Mining Minister Mbonde said Cameroon is deploying more border staff to address the increasing flow of “blood diamonds” used to fund armed groups in the Central African Republic.
