Blamed on the Islamic State in West Africa, which is the name Boko Haram uses of itself.

“Suicide bombers kill 32, wound dozens in northern Cameroon,” by Josiane Kouagheu, Reuters, January 25, 2016:

DOUALA, Cameroon (Reuters) – Suicide bombers targeting a town in northern Cameroon killed 32 people and wounded 66 on Monday, one of the worst attacks yet in the Central African nation as it struggles to contain violence blamed on Nigeria’s Boko Haram.

State-owned radio and local officials said four explosions struck a busy market and entrances to the town of Bodo, which borders the Islamist insurgency’s strongholds in northeastern Nigeria, at around 10 a.m. (0900 GMT).

A local official, who said the death toll could rise further as a number of those take to hospital were in serious condition, said the attackers had slipped in under the cover of seasonal, dusty Harmattan winds.

“The Harmattan has been blowing for three days. … The vigilance committees weren’t able to see the suicide bombers, who entered the village in the middle of the night,” he said, asking not to be named.

While there was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, northern Cameroon has become the scene of increasingly frequent suicide attacks as Boko Haram has stepped up cross-border violence that has also spread into Chad and Niger.

Twelve people were killed in an attack on Jan. 13 at a mosque in the town of Kouyape.

Bodo, separated from Nigeria by only a small border river, was previously targeted at the end of December when two female suicide bombers blew themselves up at the town entrance.

Boko Haram has killed thousands of people and driven more than 2 million people from their homes during its six-year insurgency in one of the world’s poorest regions….

    Those Muslims who were jihad suicide/homicide bombers as deluded as they were dangerous and deadly. Nevertheless being under delusion, that is Islamic delusion is no excuse for their murdering violence. They were dangerous and deluded in the they must have ,no doubt actually believes that they will obtain some kind of a paradise by their violence and murderous actions. For after they died in those deadly jihad attacks they had a very harsh reality check. For instead of finding themselves in a paradise ,with or without virgins, they found themselves strapped and suffering in an awful place of fire that the Bible calls hell. As the Bible teaches that a murderer “shall not inherit the Kingdom of God” Galatians 5:21 The jihadists who died in those so called “martyrdom operations” found out the hard way the the promises of the Koran are falsehoods and the imams had taught them false doctrines. Furthermore, as for those Muslim clerics,such as the imams who using the doctrines contains in the Koran 44:54. 55:56. 78:31. ,indoctrinate the belief into the hearts and minds of others the story of a doctrine of a lustful paradise of the flesh with many virgins,houris, in it for the jihad-minded Muslim male who dies in the fight for the cause of Islam as a “martyr.” Such false religious teachers as they are explained and warned about he the Bible. For such a type of false teachers the Bible in Second Peter 2:18 reads “For they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lust of the flesh…” In addition The Bible also warns against listening to and believing in unfounded religious stories. No matter how enticing the religious stories may be. For the Bible warns against giving “heed to fables…” First Timothy 1:4. Moreover, as for the jihadist with is Islamic pipe-dream in the Koranic story/doctrine of a place with virgins, such a man is in great contrast to the Christian who has the reality of Second Peter 1:16. Which reads “For we have not followed cunningly devised fables ,when we made know unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ…” [K.J.V.]

    Unfortunately, liberals in the civilized West are more likely to have a bumper-sticker saying “Feed the Poor” than to actually do something to feed the poor – all they want is to show that they care without going through the hassle of actually caring.

    Who are they getting arms from ?

    And why is Nigeria not talking any action against the Islamic State in West Africa, ( Boko Haram ).

      Corruption. Many of Nigeria’s senior Army officers support Islamic State in West Africa, previously nicknamed Boko Haram. This is Africa.

    For those leaders who are coy about getting involved militarily, for the time being, in the battlefields of Syria and Iraq, there are opportunities to take up the cudgel and gain battle experience on the peripheries of the Caliphates war. It wouldn’t hurt to show some solidarity with the people of Cameroon and elsewhere in West and Sub Saharan Africa as the Jihad mercilessly pushes the boundary of Islamic domination ever further south.

      Boko Haram rebranded as the Islamic State in West Africa. It has been effective in appealing to many more Muslims in the region who now see this as their duty to Islam.

      These West Africans are the descendants of the slave traders. Their goal is to re-establish Muslim hegemony and create a genocide against Christian Africans. It is a tribal war.

      Eventually, the West must intervene and recolonize.

    I wonder if the people in these third world countries where Islamic mass murders are regularly committed are so desensitized by it that they barely notice unless directly affected, even when it’s in their own country.

    I do know that the developed world barely notices Islamic mass murders that dwarf terror attacks in Europe, if the country is in the third world. This one in Cameroon will barely get mentioned in the US media outside JihadWatch and other counterjihad news sites.

    These massive horrific events go down the memory hole, and CAIR et al get a pass, again. Slimy non-Muslim opportunists unapologetically (no need to account for what’s not remembered) collaborate with the political arms e.g., “the Saudis” of the Islamic terrorists to do business, no questions asked.

    Roger Ailes et al should do more to report this. If you’re occupying a position but not fulfilling the position, you’re part of the problem.
