GENEVA, Jan 29, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Over 30,000 people fled the Nigerian town
of Rann and across the border to Cameroon over the weekend amid fears of
renewed attacks by Boko Haram militants, the UN said Tuesday.
“All the population seems to be panicking and they are on the run as a
preemptive measure to save their lives,” UN refugee agency spokesman Babar
Baloch told reporters in Geneva.
