Boko Haram Threatens To Bring War To Cameroon


VOA/Reuters: Boko Haram Threatens Cameroon With Violence in Video

WNU Editor: These fanatics do not see borders .... so Cameroon is an obvious target. But there are probably two reason why Boko Haram will have problems in making inroads into Cameroon .... (1) the military appears to be slightly more professional than the Nigerian military, and (2) Muslims are a minority in Cameroon (less than 20%).

Looking at the map I'm reminded of how close Boko Haram is the fighting in CAR, and it makes me wonder if they are looking into recruiting the Muslim militias there.

I'm also wondering how dedicated that 20% would be to Boko Haram if continued in Cameroon?

A few pointers to note for Nigeria in 2015.
– AFRICOM now has a presence in Liberia due to Ebola.
– A large unwelcome US intelligence presence in Nigeria with no noticeable gain yet increasing Boko Haram activity
– Pending elections in Nigeria 2015. Ex military ruler vs. Civilian president
– Boko Haram (false flag terrorism) in Northern Nigeria/Cameroun.
– US training inciting Nigerian army personnel to mutiny (coup?).
– Potential conflict in the Southern Oil fields – Niger Delta

Boko Haram, is a tribal grouping based on the Hanasas Sultanate that the Brit's empowered when they ruled Nigeria, and the Sultanate, predates the Colonial Borders.
