Don't have time to help out now with this, but I like the idea! Just a small remark : recently we got high resolution imagery for whole Cameroon from DigitalGlobe. And in the far north along the border with Nigera they face the same problems <http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/nigeria/11341289/Boko-Haram-push-across-border-to-attack-Cameroon-army.html>, and Nigerian refugees are coming too... So it might be an idea to start over there? I now a bunch of ngo's are working in the far north, like French Red Cross, GIZ and Unicef.
Good luck!
