To this end, Paul Biya is pleased that the Cameroonian government’s peace offer has been followed by many Boko Haram fighters in the Far North of Cameroon. « In the Far North region, several BOKO Haram followers have laid down their weapons and are being cared for in Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration Centres. I am pleased to note that the peace offer I addressed was followed by many of our compatriots, who had once joined the armed groups, » said the President of the Republic.
