Boko Haram

=== 2022 ===
In March, Catholic Church sources in Cameroon, near the border with Nigeria, claimed that they had been attacked regularly by Boko Haram militants since September 2021. In one attack "they managed to reach [[Mount Oupay|Oupaï]] by coming through Douval. They killed two people, burned the houses and carried off clothing and small animals. Since mid-February four of the seven areas of the parish have been paralysed. We thought they wouldn't be able to reach Oupaï because it is right on top of a mountain, but we were wrong!" According to an anonymous priest, the attacks seemed to be mostly focused on obtaining supplies. "In the past they entered villages, ostentatiously yelling war cries, but recently they have come discretely, taking advantage of the full moon, to surprise people in their sleep. They kill the fathers of the family and the teenagers, especially the boys. Then they pillage the family's property and destroy everything they can't carry off."<ref>{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=2022-03-31 |title=Cameroon: Boko Haram raiders devastate villages |url=https://acninternational.org/boko-haram-raiders-devastate-villages-in-cameroon/ |access-date=2022-11-10 |website=ACN International |language=en-US}}</ref>
