Boko Haram push across border to attack Cameroon army
Telegraph ^ | January 12, 2015 | By Richard Spencer

Boko Haram, the Nigerian Islamist group, has pushed on after a rampage through the north of the country that killed an estimated 2,000 people, to attack an army base in neighbouring Cameroon.

At least one Cameroonian soldier was killed in the cross-border attack, according to local journalists, though the Cameroonian authorities said the assault on the base in the town of Kolofata had been repulsed.

The assault followed another surge over the past 10 days by the Islamist rebels known for their brutality and kidnapping of young women and girls.

In a series of raids, they seized parts of Borno province on the far northern borders with Niger, Chad and Cameroon, killing hundreds of people – one report put the final total of deaths at 2,000.

"We came across many dead bodies, some in groups and others by themselves in the bush," one 25-year-old lorry driver, Ibrahim Gambo, who escaped the onslaught around the town of Baga, which lies on Lake Chad, told a local newspaper. . .

2,000 dead black nigerians, mostly Christian and the world mourns a much smaller death toll in France...but the commonality is Muslim Jihadists who are at war with the rest of the world.

I’m so confused...We attacked Libya because a hotdog vender set himself on fire. Nothing for this?

France—where is your Foriegn Legion when they are needed? Send them in and lets see how these barbarians fight real troops! France should Demand the woman (wife of the Murderious Jihadi) who fled to IS be returned—and when Al Baghdadi refuses—Nuke his capital and kill em all! they should demand that Yemen turn over their terrorists or blast the Training camps with Atomic Fire! Lets make this nation a radioactive wastland. France—you got the bombs—do you have the will? Maybe Madam Le Pen has the balls you lack.
