Cameroon

Boko Haram militants kidnapped the wife of Vice Prime Minister Amadou Ali and her maid from Ali’s home in Kolofata, killing at least three people in the attack. The militants also attacked the home of Kolofata’s religious leader and mayor, Seini Boukar Lamine, and kidnapped him as well. A court yesterday sentenced 14 Boko Haram members to jail terms ranging from 10 to 20 years. Late on July 24, Boko Haram killed two Cameroonian soldiers in a cross-border attack at Balgaram.
