The conflict between non-state armed groups and government forces in the Lake Chad region has been ongoing for 10 years. People in north-eastern Nigeria have borne the brunt of the violence, but those in neighbouring Cameroon are not spared. Today, there are more than 297,000 internally displaced persons and almost 114,000 Nigerian refugees living in Cameroon’s Far North, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and UNHCR.
