Cameroon Separatists Attack Bus, Kill 6 Civilians

Bangourain, Cameroon — Military officials in Cameroon say armed separatists killed at least six people and wounded nine when they attacked a bus on a highway in the country's troubled Southwest region. The military has deployed scores of troops to track down the rebels. Locals say there has been heavy fighting between the two sides since the Tuesday attack.

These are voices of Cameroon government troops pulling people out of a bus, asking what could have prompted separatist fighters to kill innocent commuters. [...] The Cameroon military has confirmed that the video is of its troops helping victims after separatists opened fire Tuesday on a bus at Ekona, a village in Cameroon's Southwest region.

Ferner (von Ende September) eine bedenkliche Meldung: Offenkunding schwappt der Konflikt, wenngleich auch auf relativ kleiner Flamme köchelnd, zunehmend nach Nigeria hinüber, in die dortige Region Biafra, die ja bekanntermaßen eine sehr blutige Geschichte hat...

Escalating conflict in Cameroon: civil war looms in the region

The conflict in Cameroon keeps escalating. Chris Anu, a long-time spokesperson for Cameroon’s self-declared Republic of Ambazonia, said that he was elected president of the separatist movement on September 10, 2022. His election comes at a time when the movement appears to be losing support among southern Cameroonians, due to allegations of infighting, corruption and human rights abuses. [...]

Anu said that the movement will take the fight to the territories of the Republic of Cameroon (French speaking part of the country). He promised to also review the movement’s much-criticised policy of closing schools. [...] The conflict keeps escalating with the death of soldiers last week in a rocket attack on their convoy in Manyemen Koupé-Manengouba, a subdivision in the Southwest region. [...]

The Nigerian separatist group the Indigenous People of Biafra, under pressure from the Nigerian military, confirmed an alliance in its waging of a sometimes violent campaign for autonomy in southeastern Nigeria. Cameroonian rebels frequently crossed into Nigeria to purchase weapons and other supplies for themselves. [...]

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) was formed as a breakaway group of the Movement for the Actualization of Biafra with the sole purpose of completely severing ties with Nigeria through non-violent secession. These two separatist forces, leveraging on cultural and historical sentiments, as they share a common history and heritage, are banding together to present a more formidable front to national forces in West Africa.
