For decades, cross-border crime has been a major security concern in Central Africa in general, and more particularly in the triangle of death. Long embodied by the phenomenon of road cutters, this form of crime has undergone significant changes in the eastern border area of Cameroon since 2010, following the Central African crisis. In addition to the explosion of road cutters, there has been an increase in cross-border crime, resulting in new forms of threats that have been perpetrated on Cameroonian territory by armed groups, undermining security in this area. In response to this increase in cross-border insecurity at the Cameroon-CAR border, Cameroon has strengthened its security apparatus by setting up a special operation and, above all, by creating and activating new Defense and Security Forces units. In addition, it has increased its commitment to securing the CAR through the participation of its contingents in stabilization missions in that country.
