Boko Haram terrorists have attacked Gwoza refugees from Nigeria for the second time in a week t in the very UN refugee camp where they have been for a dozen years.
Thousands of Christian refugees are stuck in Cameroun after waiting 12 years because the U.S. government canceled their airlift despite being approved to resettle there.
Some went back to Nigeria three weeks ago after being lured by the Borno State Govt and were killed when Boko Haram attacked Pulka last weekend.
However, breaking news provided to international human rights lawyer Emmanuel Ogebe reveals that Boko Haram attacked and killed some of those remaining in the UN camp in Cameroun where he had visited them 12 years ago.
Lawyer Ogebe had petitioned USA to resettle 58,000 Gwoza refugees in Cameroun abroad and decried their repatriation to Borno and the “whites only” immigration policy in December 2025, writing:
“U.S. SHOULD URGENTLY ASSIST RESETTLEMENT OF NIGERIAN REFUGEES CURRENTLY IN CAMEROUN IN THIRD COUNTRIES
“A priority humanitarian intervention recommended for urgent attention is the critical Gwoza refugee population in Cameroun.
“While you were in Nigeria, the Borno government is trying to incentivize them back to an unsafe region after over a decade. Apparently he just visited them in the same Camerounian Far North camp I visited in 2014. As you know, Gwoza is still occupied by terrorists so this is a set up for disaster.
“They are now eligible for international resettlement in western host countries but Zulum’s action undermines their relocation abroad.
“I urge the USG to prioritize these persecution refugees’ resettlement in your humanitarian response proposals.
“While thousands self-repatriated from Cameroun, those who came back to Nigeria are suffering in camps outside Abuja as they can’t return to Gwoza. Please see a new report on the conditions of camps even in Abuja https://mikearnold.org/new-report-internally-displaced-persons-in-the-federal-capital-territory-abuja/
“Our assessment indicates that some of the Nigerian refugees were resettled abroad from Cameroun:
- 97 in the USA.
- 106 in CANADA
- 7 in ITALY schooling
- 125 in FRANCE
“Unfortunately while others are in the process of resettling in the US and other countries, an executive order has just been signed partially restricting Nigerian immigrant and non-immigrant visas.
“That’s the point of making this high priority post-CODEL recommendation. It was already problematic that only white South Africans were eligible refugees and that the U.S. had capped the amount of refugees for 2026. This policy dissonance is apparent when the executive action directly contradicts its problem identification.
“Since 1990, less than 2,000 white farmers have been killed in South Africa.
“In the last two years, 2,000 Christian farmers were killed in Benue state alone in Nigeria. That’s 2000 in 35 years in one country compared to 2,000 in just one of 36 states in another country in two years!”
Commenting on the recent atrocities, Ogebe said: “This is a new low for insecurity. In Benue state, IDPs have been attacked and killed in IDP camps but for Nigerian refugees to be killed abroad in Cameroun is totally devastating.
“Sources say it may be orchestrated to force them back to Nigeria because they refused the government’s enticement of N500,000 to return.
“Whatever the case, US refusal to airlift them has exposed them to these attacks.
“I urge the USA to airlift them immediately and also secure the UN refugee camp.”
