More
reports say Yaoundé is negotiating with Boko Haram, as a prominent MP reports on
the condition of the hostages
The government sent
a ruling party MP, Abba Boukar Malla, to negotiate with the
jihadist militia Boko Haram for ransoms for the hostages they seized in
a raid on Kolofata village on 27 July, Africa Confidential has learned.
But all contact with Boukar Malla,
who has acted as an intermediary with the militants before, was lost until he
was 'released' by Boko Haram on 26 August. He brought 'good news', he
told the press, that Françoise-Agnès Ali, wife of the top
minister and confidant of President Paul Biya, Ahmadou Ali, and other
hostages were safe and well. The government denies negotiating with Boko Haram or paying ransoms.
