For many years now, terrorism has been a major threat to peace all over the world. Not only have terrorist organizations increased in number, their members take delight in persistently victimizing innocent citizens of different countries. They either kill their victims outright in sporadic attacks or kidnap them.
Happily enough, Cameroonian authorities have not gone to sleep. Through their valiant national army, they are putting up a spirited fight to ward off the terrorist onslaughts and possibly exterminate Boko Haram.
While we commend the efforts ofthe government ofCameroon we think that the fight to eradicate Boko Haram must not be left in the hands of the military alone. The sensitization and education of the Cameroonian youth on the danger of adhering to this terrorist sect, or condoning their actions, would help in no small way to put a final nail on their coffin. That is the main aim this book.
