Francophone army kills 5 in Kumba 0
The Francophone army has killed at least five Southern Cameroonians in Kumba, the chief city in Meme Division in the South West region. The Anglophone freedom fighters were killed today Friday during a protest. Government forces have sealed the city and are currently carrying out what eye witnesses have described as a massacre.
Several other people have been seriously injured in a shootout between the troops and civilians armed with catapults. The Francophone elite forces involved in the operation are performing a precursor operation aimed at getting rid of all forms of Anglophone resistance in the South West region. Our reporter in Kumba has confirmed that two bodies have been identified at the Kumba General Hospital.
