Three soldiers of the Rapid Intervention Force were killed early this morning in the Far North Region of Cameroon by militants of the Nigerian Islamic sect, Boko Haram. Information that filtered from the military says the soldiers were patrolling from Zelevet to Mora when their vehicle exploded from a mine widely believed to have been planted by Boko Haram.
Cameroon Concord is aware that two soldiers were seriously injured and three others missing reportedly taken hostage by Boko Haram. Our informant in Maroua hinted a few hours ago that the Cameroon military is not getting the desired cooperation from the inhabitants of the Far North region in areas such as intelligence gathering and non state policing.

By Elmer Lunga in Southern Cameroons Territory
The Chairman of the Social Democratic Front with followers in La Republique du Cameroun has threatened the ruling CPDM government over its new terrorism law. Said Chairman Fru Ndi “If Mr.Biya wants to abuse Cameroonians, let him try and see”
The Southern Cameroons National Council has announced that the Kumba assembly will be transformed to an All Anglophone Conference. Similar to the build up to AAC1 in Buea some decades ago, Southern Cameroons Mayors, MPs, Diplomats and traditional rulers have been invited. Cameroon Concord has gathered that the Kumba assembly will elect a new National Chairman.
The fear of Boko Haram incursion into Southern Cameroons territory has prompted the president of La Republique Paul Biya to order 400 elite force from the BIR battalion to be stationed at Bui-this is in continuation of the policy of occupying Southern Cameroons territory using a predominant Francophone Beti-Ewondo army.
Concerns are being expressed in Southern Cameroons that the new terrorism law of La Republique is aim at Southern Cameroonians and their leaders including media practitioners.
Veteran journalist and Vice National President of the National Communication Council of La Republique du Cameroun Peter Essoka is expected to copy the behavioural patterns of arrogance and impoliteness in La Republique by not appearing in front of the high court to answer charges levied against Jean Pierre Amougou.
The Sub Divisional Officer for Bankim Sub Division in Adamawa Region who recently arrested and detained a Juju/Masquerade from the Wimbum community of the North West Region during the Wimbum Annual Cultural Festival organized in La Republique territory in Sonkola in Adamawa has been going around begging for forgiveness after being told that he will die.
Policemen in Fiango Kumba recently abandoned a notorious thief Bissong Michael to an angry population on grounds that each time he was arrested and locked up at the Central Prison in Kumba, his brother who is a Magistrate releases him.

The Boko Haram Islamist militant group raided a cement facility owned by the French group Lafarge as part of an attack on two towns in northeast Nigeria on Thursday, witnesses said. "The gunmen kept shouting 'Allahu Akbar' (God is great) and firing guns haphazardly. They went into the cement factory and took away some vehicles," said Samail Adnan, who lives in Ashaka, in Gombe state.
A company staff member, who asked not to be identified, said the factory was evacuated before the raid. Lafarge is a leading producer of building and construction materials with 23 production sites and more than 11,000 employees in Africa.
It was the latest militant attack in northeastern Nigeria, where Boko Haram maintains a stronghold. At least five people were killed on Monday when two female suicide bombers blew themselves up in an attack targeting a crowded market in the northeastern Nigerian city of Maiduguru. Two teenage girls blew themselves up at the same crowded market a week earlier, claiming the lives of at least 44.
