Cameroon: Boko Haram suicide bombings

[Luiz 4,253]

Yaounde, Cameroon (CNN)Four suicide bombers blew themselves up in a northern Cameroonian town near the Nigerian border Saturday, killing at least six people and injuring about 12 others, a Cameroonian military spokesman said.

The Nigeria-based terror group Boko Haram is suspected to have been behind the attack in the town of Fotokol, Cameroon army Maj. Nlate Ebale said.

Boko Haram has increasingly asserted itself, not only in its home base in Nigeria, but also in other western and central African countries, including Cameroon, Niger, Benin and Chad.

Fotokol in particular has been a frequent target. In January, Boko Haram militants slaughtered more than 400 people in door-to-door gun and knife attacks in the town, residents said.

The attacks have happened despite a multinational military force of 8,700 people set up to fight the insurgents. Boko Haram attacks in Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad and Niger had claimed the lives of at least 3,500 people from January to September, according to Amnesty International.

yes there's oil, a lot

from Wikipedia :

Nigeria is the 12th largest producer of petroleum in the world and the 8th largest exporter, and has the 10th largest proven reserves. (The country joined OPEC in 1971). Petroleum plays a large role in the Nigerian economy, accounting for 40% of GDP and 80% of Government earnings. However, agitation for better resource control in the Niger Delta, its main oil producing region, has led to disruptions in oil production and prevents the country from exporting at 100% capacity.[116]

Yeah I see that now.

"Pipeline vandalism, kidnappings, and militant takeover of oil facilities have reduced production."

So why is no one doing anything?
