The Nigerian terrorist sect, Boko Haram, are increasing their attacks on Cameroon, targeting new villages with their increasingly advanced weapons, and the army worries about more violence in the approaching dry season.

“We’re convinced that the establishment of a ‘caliphate’ (by Boko Haram) is aimed not only at Nigeria but also at Cameroon,” says Leopold Nlate Ebale, a commander for an elite battalion in the border zone.

Until recently, says Vanguard newspaper, Boko Haram had focused its attacks on several Cameroonian border posts across from towns it controls in the Nigerian state of Borno.

It has also been using Cameroon as a place to rest and stock up with arms and food.

But its attacks are now spreading further south into the country.

Members of the group have slit the throats of market-goers in broad daylight near the northern city of Mokolo, according to Cameroon’s army.
