(Business in Cameroon) - On 13 January 2016, the morning prayer at the Kouyapé mosque, located in Kolofata, Extreme-North Cameroon, turned into a tragedy.

From security sources, we learned that a young kamikaze who managed to get inside this place of worship, after praying with the faithful, activated a bomb. The attack officially resulted in 13 deaths, including the kamikaze.

After several attacks in Cameroon at the beginning of the year, Boko Haram has been facing the retaliation, for some months, of the Cameroonian army deployed along the border shared with Nigeria.

In addition to the deployment of Cameroon's armed forces, is the arrival of the multinational mixed Force, made up of soldiers from the Congo basin countries victim of Boko Haram attacks.

Caught in the middle, the Boko Haram rebels are resorting more and more to kamikaze attacks, which have already resulted in over 100 deaths in the Extreme-North region of Cameroon.
