Boko Haram: Children Rescued In Cameroon Can’t Remember Their Names
About 80 children rescued from a Boko Haram camp in Northern Cameroon cannot remember their own names or origins, making it impossible for them to be reunited with their families.
BBC reports;
The children – aged between 5 and 18 – did not speak English, French or any local languages, says Christopher Fomunyoh, a director for the US-based National Democratic Institute (NDI).
The children were rescued in Cameroon after security forces – acting on a tip-off – raided what was thought to have been a Koranic school.
Mr Fomunyoh told the BBC’s Randy Joe Sa’ah in Yaounde that he had visited an orphanage that was helping rehabilitate the children.
He said the children had spent so long with their captors, being indoctrinated in jihadist ideology, that they had lost track of who they were.
“They’ve lost touch with their parents,” he said. “They’ve lost touch with people in their villages, they’re not able to articulate, to help trace their relationships, they can’t even tell you what their names are.”
