Neighbouring Cameroon: Boko Haram and Borno State

neighbouring cameroon: Stealing food meant for starving children is beyond the pale and only adds insult to injury, Barguma said, according to CTV. Boko Haram seven-year-old insurgency has killed more than 20,000 people and displaced more than 2.6 million in Nigeria and neighbouring Cameroon, Niger and Chad. The allegations in Adamawa state centre on officials and market traders accused of selling food items donated by Nigeria customs service, said Hassan Barguma, chair of a committee focused on refugees in the Adamawa state assembly. Lawmakers and officials are already investigating reports that food aid was stolen in Borno state, the birthplace of Boko Haram where the U.N. has warned that tens of thousands of children could die from malnutrition. Nigeria customs service in August released 11 trucks of food aid including rice, oil and spaghetti for refugees in Adamawa state. The reports sparked protests from refugees who at one point blocked a main highway heading into Maiduguri, the northeast largest city. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
