Boko Haram Uses Children as Suicide Bomber in Cameroon

Boko Haram is reportedly using children as suicide bombers in Cameroon. The militants used children-suicide-bombers to kill at the least seven people in the town of Kolofata, close to Nigerian border. Children are "easy prey for groups who want to spread terror", said Mr Lanzer, the UN assistant secretary-general and regional humanitarian coordinator for the Sahel region.

"Once again very young children have been used. Children who haven't had access to the sort of education that one would hope, children who haven't got a particularly bright future ahead," he told BBC.
