VOA慢速英语:博科圣地组织袭击喀麦隆掠夺物资供给

On Cameroon’s northern border with Nigeria, reports say Boko Haram fighters have been stealing food and animals from farmers for the past few weeks. Most of the food producers are now moving to safer areas away from the border.

有报道称在喀麦隆北部与尼日利亚边境地区博科圣地组织武装分子在过去几周里一直从农民手中偷盗食物和动物。许多种植者已经离开该地区前往安全地带。

Midjiyawa Bakari is governor of the Far North region. He said the armed men carry out raids in small groups. He said they steal cows, food and money from Cameroonians living along the border with Nigeria's Borno state.

Midjiyawa Bakari是边远北部地区州长。他说这些武装分子以小组形式进行了突袭，从居住在喀麦隆与尼日利亚博尔诺州接壤边境地区的居民手中偷盗奶牛，食物和财物。

Mr. Bakari said the border between Cameroon and Nigeria is long and there are few border guards. He said this makes it easy for the militants to attack crop farmers, cattle farmers and small businesses.They can quickly cross back into Nigeria after an attack.

Midjiyawa Bakari称喀麦隆与尼日利亚边境地区边境线长且少边境警卫。他说这就使得武装分子的偷盗行为更加轻松。他们可以在抢夺完物资之后迅速返回尼日利亚。

Sali Dairou is a member of the National Assembly from northern Cameroon. He told VOA that the militants have killed some of the farmers who refused to cooperate with them.

Sali Dairou是喀麦隆北部国民大会成员。他告诉VOA记者称武装分子杀害了其中拒绝配合他们合作的当地农民。

There have been fewer major Boko Haram attacks in Cameroon during the last two months. The governor said the decrease suggests that the group has problems. Mr. Bakari said he thinks the new coalition military force of troops from Cameroon, Chad and Nigeria may be weakening Boko Haram.

在过去的两个月时间里博科圣地组织在喀麦隆的袭击行动有所减少。州长称这种袭击次数减少的情况暗示着这个组织面临着困难。Bakari说他认为喀麦隆，乍得和尼日利亚组成的新联盟军可能震慑住了博科圣地组织的嚣张气焰。

Mr. Bakari said he is very sure that this force will stop Boko Haram soon. He said he believes everyone can see that the end of the militant group is near.

Bakari说他非常确定联盟军能够在不久的将来将博科圣地制服。他说他相信每个人都能够看到胜利的日子即将在即。
