Fotokol is a town and commune in Logone-et-Chari Department, Far North Region, Cameroon. It is home to Fotokol High School. The town is about 300 meters across a small river from the Nigerian village of Gamboru, where Fotokol residents often go for supplies. In 2014, the Gamboru Ngala attack by Boko Haram killed 300 people, endangering Fotokol residents as well.〔 As of June 2014, "Soldiers and paramilitary officers have been deployed in ... () to provide security for residents and allow children to safely attend school."〔 〕 In September 2014, the United Nations announced that it was making efforts to move 5,000 refugees staying in Fotokol to safer locations, to avoid cross-border incursions by Nigerian insurgents. Over 8,000 refugees had already been moved to the Minawo refugee camp. On 29 and 30 January, 2015, fighting between Chadian soldiers and Boko Haram was reported in Fotokol and surrounding areas. In early February, Boko Haram launched a counterattack, in response to a Chadian assault, on Fotokol, killing 81 civilians, 13 Chadian and 6 Cameroonian soldiers. ==See also== *Communes of Cameroon 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fotokol」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
