At least 26 people were killed Monday in three suicide attacks in the far north of Cameroon, a region often targeted by Nigeria's Boko Haram group, according to a police toll.
At least 44 people have died from Lassa fever in Nigeria with the death toll expected to rise, underscoring the difficulty in combating deadly viruses in a region still reeling from Ebola.
Nigeria's Boko Haram Islamists have killed nearly 1,200 people in neighbouring Cameroon's far north since 2013, the communications minister in Yaounde said Friday.
