The Population of Bamenda, the capital city of the North West Region of Cameroon are yet to get out of the shock of the killing of 4 teenagers in Meta Quarter.
In what has become an almost normal phenomenon, these four teenagers were reportedly killed in a raid which was aimed at targeting separatist fighters residing in the area.
Killing has seen an increase in recent times. Soldiers and the separatist have unjustly killed civilians across the two regions on several occasions, most often going unpunished.
This also comes at a time when young persons in these regions and elswhere in the country have been particularly targeted by these elements for extortions and harassments.
The authorities are yet to give an official statement on the killing of these teenagers at their prime. What crime did they commit that didn't deserve a second chance to life.
Since 2016, the 2 English speaking regions of the country have been seeking to create a new nation called Ambazonia. Clashes between the military and separatist fighters have left more than 4000 civilians down and close to 250,000 displaced both national and international.
Cameroon which was once recognized as one of the most peaceful nations in the world is today a no go zone especially in the Anglophone regions, Northern regions and the Eastern frontier.
What could be a possible solution to end the Anglophone crisis? Drop your comments below.
