Believers must step up their game in soul winning

This report by the CNN is alarming. The Governments of the concerned nations have a lot to do and must quickly set out to neutralize all avenues employed by Boko Haram to undermine them. Much more than that, believers should step up their game in soul winning as men willingly flock to the to their eternal foe and enemy of the Church, the devil. It is the same case with ISIS. One marvels at what attract young people to join these merchants of sorrow and death.

Cameroon's security forces are predicting a drawn-out battle with Boko Haram as evidence filters out that the insurgents are now recruiting there.

"We don't doubt that Boko Haram is recruiting in Cameroon," said Col. Joseph Nouma, commander of Operation ALPHA, a special military operation set up by Cameroon's government to fight the Nigerian terrorist group.

He says communities bordering Nigeria have been emptied of men between the ages of 10 and 45.

"Many of them are found across the border in Nigeria, training with the terrorists," he told CNN.

This has made it difficult for the country's defense forces to adequately estimate the power of the terrorist group. Nouma said the number of militants may be greater than is widely believed, though there is no reliable estimate of the group's strength.

"Boko Haram is a permanent metamorphosis, dying every day but recruiting every day as well," says Col. Jacob Kodji, interim commander of the 4th Military Region. "And this complicates a lot of things for us."

Nouma agreed: "We kill them, but they keep on coming."
