a écrit le 18 janvier 2018 à 16h41 Update on the Cameroon Arrivals, Issue #4 (External), 16 January 2018
More Cameroonians are arriving through Cross River, Taraba and Benue States in South-South and Middle-Belt Nigeria. Those crossing over continue to use informal entry points because official borders between Cameroon and Nigeria remain closed in the above mentioned states. By 12 January of this year alone 9,620 asylum seekers from Cameroon had been officially registered.The receiving communities largely are Amana, Akamkpa, Agbokim, Ikom/Ajasso and Boki in Cross River State and Abande in Benue State. The asylum seekers are mainly coming from Akwaya, Otu, Eyumojock, Nsan, Dadi & Bodam in Cameroon’s South-West Anglophone region. Women and children represent 80 percent of those registered so far. UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, remains generally concerned that, as the crisis in Cameroon continues, and the government adopts extra security measures, more asylum seekers will arrive.
