• Christians Trapped in the Midst of Conflict

  

  As the West African nation of Cameroon faces conflict on two fronts, Christians are finding themselves trapped in the middle.

  In northern Cameroon, the government has been fighting to stop the insurgence of Boko Haram terrorists who are moving south from Nigeria. In the process, members of the notorious group were raiding and pillaging villages throughout the area, forcing many Christians to flee for their lives. Numerous reports have been heard of pastors being attacked and killed by the militant Islamic group. Issues with Boko Haram also affect other neighbouring countries, including Chad and Niger.
