There are bodies everywhere. The whole city reeks of the smell of decomposing bodies, said one fisherman Baga, Nigeria.

After sowing terror in the Baga area on Nigerian shores of Lake Chad, the Islamist group Boko Haram launched a major attack Monday, January 12 against a military base in Kolofata in the extreme north of Cameroon.

The Cameroonian government has acknowledged the attack Monday night giving a review of 143 terrorist criminal sect Boko Haram killed for only a Cameroonian soldier died. No report of independent source could not be established.

If the group had already attacked this area several times in recent months, this is the first time he is attacking Kolofata since the Rapid Response Battalion (BIR), the elite unit of Cameroonian army, it is deployed. The fighting was intense, but they were pushed, said an official of the BIR.

The Minister of Communication and spokesperson of the Cameroonian government, Issa Bakary Tchiroma said the fighting had lasted more than 5 hours near the military camp and other hotspots of the city” and that the Cameroonian army had put the Islamist fighters in disarray towards the border with Nigeria.

This attack even within the territory of Cameroon shows that the Islamist group implements its recent threats against Cameroon, which for the first time in December led air strikes against Boko Haram. In a video posted on YouTube, the leader of the Islamist group, Abubakar Shekau attacked the Cameroonian President Paul Biya, in early January.

Paul Biya, if you do not put an end to your evil plan you’ll be entitled to the same fate as Nigeria. Your soldiers can do nothing against us, he said.

The group controls a large territory increasingly expanded in the north-eastern Nigeria , but he is very active in the border areas with Cameroon , Chad and Niger, which worries neighboring authorities and populations.

You can see the black flag of jihad floating on the other side of the border, and early January deplored the mayor of Diffa in Niger Hankaraou Biri Kassoum.

Nigerian side, the group is still present in Baga, more than a week after having stormed the commercial hub of the Northeast, and “there are bodies everywhere” in the city, reported a resident Monday.

I entered Baga to 2 am today and the town is still occupied by Boko Haram, said Borye Kime, a fisherman Baga aged 40, reached by phone at Dubuwa, Chad neighbor, where he found refuge.

The Islamist group launched its first assault on Baga, on the shores of Lake Chad, north of Borno State, January 3 before returning several days later to completely raze the city and a dozen villages around .

Local officials reported a large number of deaths but no record could not be confirmed. Some 20,000 people fled to Maiduguri, capital of Borno State, less than 200 km to the south or to neighboring countries, according to the rescue.
