SECURITY
forces in Cameroon killed some 40 Boko Haram militants in clashes in
the country’s far north, state radio said on Sunday.
This came shortly after the release of two Italian priests and a Canadian nun suspected to have been held by the Islamist group.
According
to Reuters, a presidency source confirmed the clashes, which took place
west of the town of Kousseri, in the region bordering Nigeria and Chad.
Cameroon,
it will be recalled, deployed some 1,000 troops to the far north last
week, in a bid to step up the fight against the Islamist militants.
