Cameroon’s government said Monday that it had begun airstrikes against Nigerian Islamic extremists to dislodge about 1,000 fighters who seized the Achigachia military base on Sunday. The strikes followed attacks by Boko Haram militants on five villages in Cameroon near its northern border with Nigeria and the capture of the base in the same area, the government said.
