Pemberontak bersenjata menyerang desa Madegoua, dekat kota Makary di wilayah Far North Kamerun, pada dini hari minggu ini, menyeret laki-laki dari rumah mereka dan membunuh mereka. Jumlah korban tewas meningkat menjadi 15 setelah dua korban lainnya meninggal akibat luka-luka di rumah sakit di Makary, naik dari hitungan awal 13 orang. Otoritas setempat mengatakan penyerang menargetkan penduduk saat mereka tidur sebelum mundur.
Serangan itu memicu gelombang pengungsian dari sedikitnya 10 desa sekitar, dengan ratusan orang melarikan diri menuju kota Kousseri, Mora, dan Waza dekat perbatasan Nigeria. Banyak yang tiba tanpa makanan atau sarana keamanan, menambah tekanan pada komunitas yang sudah tertekan oleh bertahun-tahun ketidakstabilan di wilayah tersebut. Belum ada kelompok yang mengaku bertanggung jawab atas serangan ini.
Wilayah Far North Kamerun, yang berbatasan dengan Nigeria dan Chad, selama bertahun-tahun menghadapi kekerasan dari Boko Haram dan kelompok bersenjata lain yang beroperasi di Cekungan Danau Chad. Analis keamanan meyakini salah satu kelompok ini kemungkinan bertanggung jawab atas serangan tersebut, yang menambah pola panjang serangan terhadap warga sipil di wilayah perbatasan meski operasi militer berulang kali dilakukan untuk mengusir para pemberontak.
