SIX CIVILIANS KILLED BY BOKO HARAM IN CAMEROON'S FAR NORTH



YAOUNDE, Jan. 7 (Xinhua) -- At least six civilians were killed in incursions by the terror group Boko Haram that took place Monday night in Cameroon's Far North region, according to local sources.

The localities that Boko Haram has targeted are Moudoukoua and Here, both in the Mayo-Moskota sub-division. Three people were also kidnapped, according to local villagers who asked not to be named.

Boko Haram has been active recently in the Far North region of Cameroon bordering Nigeria and Chad.

Last week, in the Kolofata sub-division, at least two villagers were killed by the jihadists. In late December, about 50 people, mostly fishermen, were also killed on Lake Chad by the group in this restive region.

More than 2,000 people have been killed since Boko Haram launched attacks in the Far North since 2014, according to security reports.
