Cameroon Journal, Buea – “Zachary Nkwo’s Ultimate Commentary”, a book written by CRTV’s sports commentator, Ignatius Fon Echekiye to celebrate the life and career of Zachary Nkwo, iconic sports commentator in Cameroon was recently launched across the country.

Ion the book, Zachary Nkwo is presented as a monument and guru of sports reporting in Cameroon, one who inspired many to embrace sports reporting in the country.

“Zachary Nkwo’s Ultimate Commentary” was launched in Yaoundé on Thursday, December 17 and in Buea on Friday, December 18, at the Buea Council Chambers.
Barrister Ashuntantang Tanjong, presenting a paper at the ceremony titled “Sports Journalism in Cameroon,” referred to Zachs Nkwo as a man standing in a class of his own.

In reviewing the 142 page book, another presenter, Azore Opio, said the book is about a man who transformed the microphone into an AK47, adding that Zachary Nkwo is a living encyclopaedia of sports reporting – he remembers every sports action with exactitude of time.

Fon Echikeye

The author of “Zachary Nkwo’s Ultimate Commentary,” Fon Echekiye, gave a synopsis of the book.

“I’m getting into his biography, telling you in 142 pages, eight chapters and five appendixes what Zachary Nkwo is as a political animal, who he is as a family man and a social being and who he is as an iconic professional and how his early beginnings were.”

Echekiye tells budding sports commentators to be studious and open to learn from the rich experience of veteran commentators.

“The take home message for young sports commentators is for them to do their homework well. If you don’t do your homework well, you can’t meet the mark. Don’t forget that every other Cameroonian has become a sports commentator. So you must make a difference by doing your homework. Zachary Nkwo is able to remember every sports action because he does his homework well. We have to do same in order to shine,” Echekiye said.

As per Charly Ndi Chia, Member of the National Communication Council, “We have here two ace sports commentators, and one has written about the other. I think it is a great project that must be emulated by other people. Like the reviewer said, people should not wait until

somebody dies for them to go doing some eulogies. Recognise people when they are still alive.”

Christopher Ambe, Publisher/Editor of The Recorder described the book launch as a celebration of life.

“We are happy to be celebrating Zachary Nkwo while he is still alive. We should learn to celebrate our own when they are still alive. This was a great occasion, a big ceremony and I think other achievers should be celebrated while they live,” Ambe said.

To Franklin Sone Bayen, Publisher/Editor of the short-lived “This is sports, this is football,” also the brain behind “MEDIApeople,” Zachary Nkwo did for ten years what many have failed to do in a lifetime.

“The likes of Zachary Nkwo grew up building a career. He was so great. We are celebrating Zachary Nkwo for the work he did for ten years, 1978 to 1988 while at radio Cameroon. Uncle Zachary Nkwo starred for ten years within which time he did it all,” Bayen said.

Patrick Ekema, the Mayor of Buea Council was chair of the book launch in Buea.

Cameroon Plans to Train Vigilante Groups to Fight Boko HaramFACEBOOK

Vigilante group seen here in Adamawa, northern Cameroon

---

Cameroon Journal, Kidji- Matari – Cameroon’s Defence Minister, Joseph Beti Assomo has said a northern based vigilante group that has taken a frontline role in the ongoing war against Boko Haram will be trained and equipped for more efficiency.

Beti Assomo spent New Year 2016 eve with soldiers at the war front at Kidji-Matari, a border locality with neighbouring Nigeria in Mayo-Sava Division of the Far North Region. Jihadists of the Boko Haram sect have most of the time used the area as a springboard to attacks on Cameroonian territory.

The Defence Minister lauded the efforts of members of the local vigilante groups who often use rudimentary weapons to face the heavily armed militants of Boko Haram. He said government is bound to remobilize members of the groups in order to reinforce their capacity as they collaborate with defence forces on the field to fight Boko Haram.

Far North Governor, Midjiyawa Bakari and the local administrative authorities, Assomo instructed, must take care of members of the vigilante groups to better prepare them to face the enemy. “The Head of State is determined within the available means, to put everything at your disposal,” Assomo assured.

Cameroonian soldiers fighting Boko Haram from every indication should be more determined to sacrifice for the nation, the Defence Minister told them, adding that President Paul Biya devoted 50 per cent of his New Year address to security and defence forces.

Be it in Kidji-Matari or Kolofata that Assomo and the accompanying military officials first visited, the key message was for the forces to maintain discipline within their ranks. In different speeches and working sessions, he further urged them to show exemplary behavior in preserving the army-nation link and build trust with the citizens they are called upon to protect.

During the visit, Assomo inspected the state of military equipment and morale of the troops. He concluded that everything was intact for Cameroon’s forces to crush Boko Haram. For now, there are no clashes between Cameroon’s defence forces and Boko Haram militants. The militants have resorted to suicide attacks using girls and women as suicide bombers.

President Biya’s New Year Message to the Nation

Share the post "President Biya’s New Year Message to the Nation"

President Paul Biya

My Dear Compatriots,
As the year 2015 draws to an end, I would like to invite you, as each year, to review how we have fared as a Nation and to project ourselves into the New Year together, with assurance and determination.

You would agree with me – I believe – that a single word suffices to describe our country during the year that is drawing to an end: RESILIENCE.
I am referring, as you know, to our people’s capacity to resist and to cope with day-to-day challenges, which are acknowledged by all development partners. This attribute, which is fundamental to great Nations, was clearly demonstrated on two major fronts: our country’s economic performance and its security situation. Let us begin with economic performance:

As we are all aware, the present global context is characterized, among other things, by:
– Slow global growth, and
– Dwindling oil and other commodity prices.
In this adverse global context, our economy was able to hold up well, maintaining its 6% growth forecast and curbing the inflation rate at slightly less than 3%. Neither the additional expenditure incurred due to the war against terrorism nor the disruption of economic activity in the areas under attack could prevent us from achieving our objectives… I am aware that this growth is not yet sufficient to significantly transform the daily lives of our grassroots populations. We can do better. We must do better.

However, this excellent effort, which has made our macroeconomic indicators more viable, is commendable. I must also mention that this growth made it possible for our economy to generate 337 660 new jobs as at end-November 2015, against 283 443 the previous year. In this regard, I am pleased to note that 1 175 358 jobs have been created from 2011 to 2015. Obviously, our needs are overwhelming and far from being fully met. However, we should welcome what has already been achieved, while planning to do better and better. I will come back to this.

Concerning the security challenge, throughout the year, our Nation put up a fierce resistance to Boko Haram terrorists. At this juncture, I would like to pay a glowing tribute to our defence and security forces, as well as our people. The courage and professionalism of our forces and the commitment and courage of our people have helped to preserve our territorial integrity. Not one centimetre of our territory has been ceded to the aggressors. Better still, we have, on several occasions, inflicted serious military setbacks on them.

Through intense diplomatic activity, we have also been able to rally a wide array of partners to this fight against Boko Haram. We should, as a Nation, express our gratitude to the various friendly countries that are supporting us in this fight.

In this regard, I would like to specially commend the decision of the United States of America to field 300 troops on an intelligence support mission. We are grateful to them for such mark of confidence in our country and our army.

 The terrorists, who have been driven into a corner, have now resorted to the hideous practice of suicide bombings. Nothing will undermine the resolve of our defence and security forces. Nothing will affect our people’s morale or resilience. To deal with the atrocities of Boko Haram, the Nation’s vital forces are mobilized to firmly say NO to terrorism. Better still, they are contributing to the war effort in cash or kind.

Such massive mobilization has given a special significance to our popular defence strategy. The Army and Nation are working in synergy to defend our territory and our sovereignty.
I have had the opportunity to commend the role of vigilante committees backing up our defence and security forces. At this juncture, we should salute the memory of our compatriots who lost their lives in this legitimate civil defence exercise. They put up a patriotic opposition to the senseless brutality of terrorists and made the supreme sacrifice. In that regard, they are role models for our Nation.

My Dear Compatriots,
After coping so well with the hardships of 2015, lowering our guard now is out of the question. There are still many challenges on both the economic and security fronts. However, at the dawn of a new year, I urge you to, of course, look to the future with vigilance, but also with confidence and a sense of commitment. You are aware that our target is set. We must achieve emergence by 2035.

To that end, we should continue building on our gains in 2016 in order to modernize our country and improve the living conditions of our people. I have enjoined the Government to work towards this, with imagination, determination and the obligation to deliver. My main concern remains promoting the quality of life in our society. I am aware that this hinges on improving our people’s purchasing power. Despite the current economic hardship, I have instructed the Government to implement two key measures:
– review pump prices of fuel downward; and
– review upwards, the amount of family allowances paid to workers.
These measures will take effect on 1 January 2016.

My Dear Compatriots,
Specific projects await our Nation. We will host the women’s AFCON in 2016 and the men’s AFCON in 2019. To that end, we need appropriate infrastructure. I have instructed the Government to work hard towards that.

Our key objective remains accelerating economic growth. Our growth should be more robust, more sustainable, more inclusive and capable of generating more jobs for all, particularly our youth. Our people should reap the spin-offs of such growth.

To that end, as I reiterated recently to the Government, the National Growth and Employment Strategy Paper remains our guide. The Emergency Plan spells out the immediate priorities, without interfering with the normal economic programme of the Government. I am pleased that this long awaited Three-Year Emergency Plan is now firmly on track and ongoing. The outcomes of the actions under way will soon be visible. The major challenge for the country in 2016 will be to create conditions conducive to real industrialization. Emergence is inconceivable without a viable industrial sector.We have substantial agricultural, mining, tourist, cultural and human resources. They constitute a huge growth potential for our country. I have instructed the Government to accelerate the creation of conditions necessary for our country’s industrialization.
Such pre-requisites are:
– availability of adequate and permanent energy supply;
– modernization of our agriculture and processing of its production;
– exploitation and processing of mineral resources;
– constant improvement of the business climate to attract more investors;
– mobilization of the required financing; and
– development of communication and telecommunication infrastructure.
Concerning the last domain, we must rapidly bridge the digital economy development gap. This is a genuine growth driver as well as a niche for new jobs for our youth. We should make the most of it.

In its organization, the Government will give this sector all the attention it deserves.

My Dear Compatriots,
The task is huge, and the projects are numerous. But, I firmly believe that we can take a great leap forward. We have the wherewithal. Through the determination and patriotic commitment of each and every one, I am convinced that we can meet the challenge, in the interests of all. We should not miss out on this decisive turning point.

The Administration is a vital national instrument at the service of the State and the general interest. Yet, it is often blamed by its users and by our development partners. The recent conclusions of the IMF evaluation mission to our country, the respective reports of the latest Doing Business and Cameroon Investment Forum or CONAC are good examples in this regard. Our Administration should remain a prime mover of progress. I will personally follow this up.

My Dear Compatriots,
The challenges ahead are daunting. With the commitment of all, we can meet them. I trust the calibre of people who abound in our country… I know how patriotic you are … Let us work together to make 2016:
– a year full of victories, great victories, for our country …
– a year that brings peace, prosperity and happiness to everyone …
Happy and Prosperous New Year 2016!

See how these Lesbians Reacted after Touching Penis For The First Time (See Photos + Video)

Have you ever wondered what  happens when Lesss*bian women touch a Pen Is for the very first time? Now you have a chance to quench your curiosity.

In a weird social experiment three Lesss*bians women who had never touched a man’s genitalia were asked to do so for the very first time. The build-up was filmed on camera and later shared online by a Lesss*bian couple Bria and Chrissy.

Arielle predicts that it will feel like a bag of raisins, and gets up close and personal to touch Aleks when he takes is underwear off

The video shows three homosexual women and a male volunteer, who generously offered his Pen Is for the experiment. Needless to say, the women were nervous and their reactions were predictably hilarious.

Daylynn can’t stop giggling and soon finds that it doesn’t feel like a snake, as she thought it would

One of the participants said:

“I feel like I’ve gone my whole life trying to avoid this moment.” “I’ve done public speaking and I hate public speaking… I’ve nearly gotten hit by a car… and this is definitely the most nervous I’ve ever been,” another one added.

Bria was surprised by the size of Aleks’ balls and notes after touching him that she is definitely a Lesss*bian

 “I wanted to do it to prove to the world that all bodies are beautiful and you don’t need to be attracted to each specific ones but can still appreciate them. It’s healthy and normal to celebrate everybody’s body for what it is.”

Daylynn, pictured, is very nervous and has to remind herself that it’s just skin

Boko Haram Not The Only Security Problem Facing Cameroon

Boko Haram isn’t the only security problem facing Cameroon, warns Denis Tull. The other risks include the country’s armed forces and their frustration with corruption, the poor training of military recruits, and Yaoundé’s ineffective response to the Islamist group’s cross-border expansion.

President Biya, looking sick and frail has been in power since 1982

---

ISN – The terrorist organisation Boko Haram will determine Cameroon’s medium-term domestic and security agenda. Together with an underestimated structural propensity to crisis and political conflict, this presents the country with a double challenge. The ability of Cameroonian state and society to master both is far lower than talk about this “regional anchor of stability” would have it. Europe should start developing ideas on crisis prevention.

Since 2013 the Nigeria-based Boko Haram militia has successively expanded its terror attacks and bombings into Cameroon. Until then Cameroon had been a safe haven where the authorities tolerated the group in the context of an unspoken mutual non-aggression pact.

In the Sights of Boko Haram

The escalation occurred in two stages, triggered by a formal declaration of war on Boko Haram issued by President Paul Biya after the regional summit on the insurgency in Paris in May 2014. This led to surge of military confrontations in northern Cameroon’s regions bordering Nigeria, with many casualties on both sides and the deployment of two thousand reinforcements by government forces. Boko Haram demonstrated its growing confidence in spectacular fashion in July 2014, when it attacked a residence of the Cameroonian deputy prime minister in the north of the country and captured his wife. French and Chinese citizens have also been kidnapped, with large ransom payments suggesting that the group enjoys a solid financial base.

Boko Haram’s growing base in Cameroon is equally unsettling. It is now relatively certain that the group is recruiting members in Cameroon, and by no means only through coercion. Religious/ideological preferences, social affinities among the Kanuri (who live on all sides of the Nigeria–Cameroon–Chad border triangle), and not least financial and social incentives make the group attractive to some. In a densely populated region with above-average poverty, membership of Boko Haram offers young men opportunities that are other-wise unattainable: income and employment, marriage, social status, etc. At the same time, economic problems are worsening. Given that 80 percent of all consumer goods in northern Cameroon are imported from Nigeria, border closures and other restrictions have negative repercussions on trade and livelihoods.The conflict entered a new stage of escalation in the run-up to the Nigerian presidential elections of March 2015. Increasingly aggressive action by the Nigerian army and the neighbouring states (above all Chad) forced Boko Haram onto the defensive. Since then the group has shifted its strategy from direct confrontation to guerrilla tactics and terrorist attacks, and the number of attacks and suicide bombings has shot up in both Nigeria and Cameroon. Since mid-July Boko Haram has conducted at least three suicide attacks in the Extrême-Nord region, with a total of forty deaths. And the regional capital Maroua, about one hundred kilometres from the Nigerian border, was affected for the first time. That attack in the heart of national territory rang alarm bells, as incidents had hitherto been restricted to targets close to the border.

The government in Yaoundé has responded to each stage of escalation by deploying more troops to the north. Yet the helpfulness of militarising northern Cameroon may justifiably be questioned. Firstly, the effectiveness of regular military units is limited in the face of asymmetric threats. Secondly, Cameroon and Nigeria have yet to agree on effective cooperation. It remains to be seen whether Nigerian President Buhari’s visit to Yaoundé in July has brought about any change on that front. Thirdly, the growing number of Nigerian refugees in northern Cameroon is a bone of contention. The Cameroonian authorities, fearing infiltration by Boko Haram fighters, have moved against the refugees. In early August 3,500 were deported, with another 12,000 to follow. Finally, there is still no regional strategy against Boko Haram. The operationalisation of the 8,700-strong Multi-National Joint Task Force (MNJTF), made up of troops from Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad and Niger (plus Benin), is proceeding only slowly.

Terror Meets Fragility

Boko Haram has without doubt become the central challenge for the Cameroonian government and the dominant domestic political issue. From a political and security perspective, Cameroon is in fact experiencing an undeclared state of emergency, where the external shock of Boko Haram encounters a politically and socially fragile system that less than casual observers regard as susceptible to crisis and violent escalation.

A glance at common indicators of vulnerability to crisis shows Cameroon occupying high and in some cases rising places. De-spite its great wealth of natural resources, the country has been stagnating economically and socially for years. In some regions, including the north, poverty is increasing (the national poverty rate is 40 percent). In view of rapid population growth, mass unemployment and underemployment (69 percent) are socially explosive, especially in the cities. The state’s legitimacy is poor, as is the effectiveness of its institutions. Corruption and a glaring lack of the rule of law characterise almost the entire public sector. This contrasts with the enduring resilience of a regime that stays in power by repressing, intimidating and coopting its opponents, but manages to preserve an appearance of political stability. But violent pro-tests across the country in 2008, triggered by a cut in fuel subsidies and a constitutional amendment lifting the restrictions on President Biya’s term of office, high-lighted the vulnerability of the leadership in Yaoundé. More than one hundred people were killed by the forces of law and order and the elite Bataillon d’Intervention rapide (BIR).

Structural factors aside, the current political constellation increases the potential for crisis. It is absolutely unclear who will succeed President Biya (age eighty-two), who has ruled the country since 1982, and will leave the political stage sooner or later. Although the constitution theoretically offers a route for succession, it is far from certain if this institutional mechanism will be respected. With Biya showing no signs of resigning and public discussion of the question a political taboo, the air of uncertainty can trigger conflicts at any time – whether between rival wings within the regime fighting over Biya’s succession or from the opposition and civil society, which regard the president’s departure as an opportunity for change.

“Known Unknowns”

Boko Haram thus impacts upon an already fragile context in Cameroon, where it could have direct and indirect negative effects.

A key question is what the consequences of the conflict with Boko Haram will be for the cohesion of Cameroon’s heterogeneous society, which has for years tended to be more drifting apart than coming together. To be sure, a wave of patriotism in response

Boko Haram (file photo)

to the threat of Boko Haram can currently be observed gripping parts of the population. One symbol of this atmosphere is a grassroots fundraising campaign for the troops. These and other actions such as solidarity marches represent an attempt to present a nation united against the enemy. But they also betray justified fears of fractures in society that could deepen along regional or religious lines. Instrumentalisation of social identities is a common tool of political and social conflict in Cameroon. For example, local politicians of the ruling party from the central region have accused their colleagues from the north of supporting Boko Haram and seeking to destabilise the government. Even if that discussion has faded for the moment, growing stigmatisation of the politically and demographically important north can by no means be excluded if the threat worsens. And that could unsettle a regime built on ethno-regional architecture.

A second risk emanates from conceivable developments within the security forces. The relationship between the coexisting apparatuses (the regular army and two separate elite units, BIR and the Presidential Guard) is not free of tensions. The pressure placed on the troops by Boko Haram could exacerbate existing problems. Among the security forces there are also indications of unrest over corruption and the lack of opportunities for promotion, and frustration at the ineffectiveness of the strategy against Boko Haram. Since 2014 the government has fast-tracked recruitment and training for more than six thousand new soldiers. In an army that values its professionalism, this approach has met with criticism. As a result of the above, a question mark must be placed over the cohesion of the armed forces – all the more so in the event that the government were to lose its grip and the threat from Boko Haram grow still larger. Open conflicts within the security apparatus, or even a military coup, would no longer be inconceivable.

The internal consequences of counter-terrorism present a third potential problem. An eye must be kept on the application of the anti-terrorism law, which passed parliament with only the votes of the governing party in December 2014. Human rights groups, opposition parties and civil society actors have denounced the law as a tool for curtailing civil and political rights. They criticise the broad definitions of terrorist acts (“disrupt the normal functioning of public services, the delivery of essential services to the public or create a crisis situation among the public”), which could be used to silence opponents of the regime. In view of the already limited freedom of expression and freedom of assembly and the repressive practices of the administrative and security apparatus, these are fears to take seriously.

It is predictable that the reform-resistant government will use the terrorist threat to distract – at home and abroad – from the country’s structural problems and continue to postpone decisions on fundamental reforms that are long overdue.

Conclusion

Great as the Boko Haram threat to Cameroon is, equally large is the danger of a sole focus on terrorism obscuring the structural and political problems facing the country. As outlined above, the two challenges should not be considered in isolation from one another, because Boko Haram has the potential to drive an escalation of existing internal conflicts.

A proactive European foreign policy should firstly aim to prevent or minimise the outlined potential negative consequences of both Boko Haram itself and of the fight against it. Secondly, a strategic approach should be developed to ensure a peaceful and orderly short- and medium-term post-Biya transition that – in the ideal case – would open up opportunities for institutional political reform. It is likely that such a negotiated transition would amount to a pact between regime insiders. Contacts to the relatively unknown Cameroonian power elites would have to be intensified, in order to identify relevant actors. A second objective should be to break the taboo on the question of Biya’s succession. That would mean creating transparency in the sense of public discussions not only about the transition, but also about the challenges and institutional reforms Cameroon will face after Biya. A peaceful transition would be a success, a transition entirely without institutional reforms a tragic missed opportunity.

Even if EU member states were able to agree on a joint approach, Europe’s influence must be regarded realistically. France probably carries the greatest weight with Cameroonian officials, but Paris also finds itself confronted with considerable resentments, inside and outside of the regime. For that reason, an active and visible French role is actually excluded. Not so with the United Kingdom and Germany, which are not met with the same mistrust – or in the case of Germany enjoy a high standing. The fact that Cameroon is not the focus of inter-national rivalry is a positive factor for European engagement – which would naturally have to rely on other like-minded partners among the international community.

The diversity of problems demands a coherent multi-dimensional approach, ideally orientated on a medium-term (for example five-year) strategy to be developed by the EU member states and delegations. A regular review of implementation by the Africa Working Group (COAFR) would be necessary, in order for policies and programmes to work towards shared targets and not just more of the same.

Photos: Woman has her own fat pumped into butt to get Kim Kardashian curves

The Kim Kardashian wannabe spent £7,000 on a Brazilian butt-lift to look like her idol, Daily Star reports. Marlene Chinea decided to go under the knife after 300-squats-a-day failed to give her the booty of her dreams. The 36-year-old spent thousands of hours in the gym working on her behind, but when nothing worked she resorted to having four pounds of fat injected into her bum to make it curvier.

 

"No matter how much exercise I did, I’d never get the results I wanted. I was okay with my bum before but I thought a little more would accentuate my assets. I simply wanted more projection"

"I modelled my butt on Kim Kardashian. Kim is simply beautiful and anything she wears looks fabulous on her."

The nurse from Miami Beach, Florida, had been hitting the gym for several hours between five and six times a week, but medics told her that she had to quit working out and gain weight before they could transform her backside.

Marlene gorged on anything and everything she wanted from pizza to ice cream over the course of a few months so that she’d have extra fat that could be transferred to her booty. 

During the gruelling five hour surgery the fat was sucked out of her arms, back, abs and thighs using liposuction and then injected into her bum. Marlene’s new bubble butt meant that she was too bootylicious to fit into any of her old jeans and shorts.

With a bum to rival Kim K's, Marlene didn’t waste any time and went on a shopping spree to style herlself like her favourite reality star. She said:

"Nothing fits so I've had to buy everything new. I’ve done lots of shopping to replace my wardrobe. Clothes for the most part have to be high-waisted.

 

"I was so excited with my new body that I was sure to buy outfits that Kim K would wear. I bought a couple of bodysuits and pencil skirts like she's always wearing

But this wasn’t the first time that Marlene had enhanced her assets as she also had a boob job back in 2012. Now she’s happy with her body and doesn’t plan on having any more procedures any time soon.

 

"As of right now, I will enjoy my new body before adding any other surgeries," said Marlene.

"I had mixed emotions about the procedure. I was excited, anxious, nervous, happy and scared all at the same time. But ultimately, I was ready to have the body I wanted.

"Overall life is good and I am happy. I’ve also received plenty of attention from both sexes… not just guys either.

 

"Many people in today’s society still ridicule plastic surgery, but I can attest that some results can never be achieved with diet and exercise alone.

"I believe that my results would never have been achieved by exercise simply because of my anatomy.

The butt job was carried out by one of Florida’s most sought-after plastic surgeons Michael Salzhauer, 43, who’s better known as Dr. Miami. And according to him, the demand for round rumps is soaring thanks to big-bottomed celebs like Kim, Beyonce, J-Lo who have "coke bottle" shaped figures.

State Department warns that Cameroon is a high-risk travel destination for U.S. citizens

The U.S. State Department is warning Americans about the high risk of traveling to Cameroon. In particular, the department said, U.S. citizens should avoid all travel to the north regions because of the general threat of violent crime, terrorism and the targeting of Westerners for kidnappings and murder.

The terrorist group Boko Haram continues to be a presence in the region. Since July 2015, the group has carried out at least 14 suicide bombings in the north, the State Department reported. The northeastern Nigerian Islamist group has been even more deadly than Islamic State this year.

Boko Haram extremists struck the northeastern Nigerian city of Maiduguri for the first time in months last week with rocket-propelled grenades and multiple suicide bombers, witnesses said.

U.S. officials remain concerned about the continued threat of terrorist attacks overseas. Authorities believe there is an increased likelihood of reprisal attacks against U.S., Western and coalition partner interests throughout the world, especially in the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, and Asia.
