With the rate of insurgency in Borno State, many lives and families have been severely affected, with thousands being displaced and forced to live in internally displaced camps (IDP). A mother, who has lost neighbors, family, friends, and loved ones still in captivity, shares her heartbreaking experience of living in constant fear. She calls on the government to provide more basic amenities to help her and others in the IDP camp in Chabbol village, Borno state.

Abductions are a new fundraising method used by separatists, analysts say. Over 30 women were taken last week for "allowing themselves to be manipulated by Cameroon's government," according to the insurgents themselves.
