In a letter dated August 29, 2022, the Secretary General of the Presidency of the Republic of Cameroon, Ferdinand Ngoh Ngoh, authorizes the Minister Delegate to the Presidency in charge of Defense Beti Assomo to deploy “a detachment of special forces in the theaters of operations of the second and fifth joint military regions (RMIA 2 and RMIA 5) Journalist and whistleblower Boris Bertolt wonders because Cameroon has already deployed all its elite units in the English-speaking regions of North- West and South West of Cameroon The journalist believes that there is confusion at the top of the state.
“In Cameroon, there is a tendency to confuse elite forces and special forces. General reserve units such as the GP, BHQ, BTAP, BASS, BBR and REGEN are sometimes presented as special forces. They are often added the Fusiliers Marins Commandos (FMC) and the Fusiliers de l’Armée de l’Air (FAA).
However, the size, configuration and profile of the members of these units make this doubtful. The BIR is an elite force with a special unit, the CAT (Counter Anti-Terrorism). “, did he declare.
“This type of unit carries out discreet, rapid, daring operations, based on decoys and the effect of surprise. They have the capacity to carry out occult operations for which they have been trained, instructed and trained. We also have the GSO for the police and the GPIGN for the gendarmerie. However, the BIR, the GSO, the GPIGN are deployed in English-speaking areas. From then on what special forces Ngoh Ngoh Ferdinand is referring to. ? “, he concludes
