Cameroon slams Death Sentences On 89 Boko Haram Members.

Cameroon’s Local Newspaper L’Oeil du Sahel reports that 89 members of the Boko Haram  Terror Group were sentenced to death at a high court in Maroua Far North Region of Cameroon. Over more than 1000 captured insurgents are still awaiting their fate as trial goes on.

 Cameroon has become a major target for Boko Haram attacks. Communication Minister Issa Tchiroma Bakary said earlier this month that the insurgents have killed nearly 1,200 people since they began attacks in Cameroon in 2013. Tchiroma has frequently said that "the days of Boko Haram were numbered." But the most recent attack suggests otherwise. Cameroon is part of an 8,700-member Multinational Task Force to fight the terrorists, and the United States has contributed 300 troops as well as equipment to assist.
