There has been intensified insecurity in the crisis regions of the Northwest and Southwest of Cameroon as security mount hunt for suspected supporters of separatist fighters, especially teachers and lawyers accused to have triggered the Anglophone crisis in 2016 following their protest.
Human rights report say many Cameroon Anglophone youths who were involved in the crisis either directly as separatists fighters or supporters have fled from their different abode for safety as they have become prime targets by security forces in the wake of the ongoing Anglophone Crisis in the Northwest and Southwest of Cameroon.
This crackdown reflects escalating tensions between government security forces and Anglophones fighting for Ambazonia liberation, a prominent organization within the Anglophone movements advocating for self-determination.
