This is news that shook Cameroon in the early morning. Early this Monday, around 1 a.m., the town of Darak in the Far North region was the scene of a terrible attack perpetrated by Boko Haram terrorists. Results: two Cameroonian soldiers lost their lives defending the homeland, a security source reports to 237online.com.
The victims are the main Engozo’o, originally from Ekondo Titi in the South-West, and the master Tabi Tabi of COPALCO (Compagnie Polyvalente d’Avant-garde Légère et de Combat). Two heroes fell under the bullets of Nigerian insurgents, leaving behind grieving families and a country in mourning.
Darak, recurring target of Boko Haram attacks
This deadly attack once again highlights the vulnerability of the locality of Darak to the terrorist threat. Located on the border with Nigeria, this town is regularly targeted by Boko Haram fighters, who take advantage of its strategic position to launch deadly raids on Cameroonian territory.
Despite the efforts made by the Cameroonian army to secure the area, it is clear that Boko Haram continues to sow death and desolation in this martyred region. A real security challenge for the authorities, who are struggling to stem the terrorist threat despite the significant resources deployed on the ground.
The nation’s tribute to its heroes who fell at the front
Principal Engozo’o and Master Tabi Tabi join the long list of Cameroonian soldiers who fell under the bullets of Boko Haram. Men and women who, every day, risk their lives to protect civilian populations and preserve the territorial integrity of the country. A total commitment that commands respect and admiration.
But beyond these symbolic gestures, an entire nation must stand together in the face of the terrorist hydra. Because as the proverb so rightly reminds us, “When just one finger is sick, the whole body suffers”. Today more than ever, Cameroon must stand together to defeat Boko Haram and bring peace to the Far North. It is the most beautiful tribute we can pay to our heroes who fell at the front.
