Fotokol is a town and commune in Logone-et-Chari Department, Far North Region, Cameroon. It is home to Fotokol High School. The town is about 300 metres (330 yards) across a small river from the Nigerian village of Gamboru, where Fotokol residents often go for supplies. In 2014, the Gamboru Ngala massacre by jihadist group Boko Haram killed 300 people, endangering Fotokol residents as well. As of June 2014, "soldiers and paramilitary officers have been deployed in ... [Fotokol] to provide security for residents and allow children to safely attend school."

  • Fotokol es una comuna camerunesa perteneciente al departamento de Logone-et-Chari de la región del Extremo Norte.​​ En 2005 la comuna tenía una población de 36 893 habitantes, de los que 11 787 vivían en la capital comunal homónima.​ No obstante, no es posible determinar con certeza la población de la comuna en años posteriores porque, al ser un lugar fronterizo con Nigeria, el grupo terrorista nigeriano Boko Haram ha intentado utilizarlo como punto de entrada al país vecino. En 2014 y 2015, la zona de Fotokol se convirtió en un lugar caótico en el que se produjeron desplazamientos de miles de refugiados,​ atentados terroristas​​​ y combates entre terroristas y militares.​​ (es)
