Called a “special clean-up operation,” Cameroon Defense Minister Joseph Beti Assomo says that between last Thursday and Saturday, they “neutralized” more than 100 Boko Haram militants along the border Cameroon shares with Nigeria.
The operation released hundreds of hostages and gained a number of arms.
Assomo explained over national radio, “[Troops were able] to release almost 900 hostages [and] seize a large stock of arms and munitions as well as black-and-white Islamic State flags.”
While the Minister’s claims are yet to be verified, the Central West African country has landed in the cross hairs of the Nigeria-based terror organization since it joined forces with its neighbor to fight the Islamic terrorist group in 2014.
