Cameroon: At Least 79, Mostly Children, Kidnapped by Rebels
-----------------------------------------------------------

In Cameroon, armed rebels kidnapped at least 79 students and their
principal, according to local reports. The kidnapping in northwestern
Cameroon was reportedly orchestrated by separatist fighters who have
been calling for a secession of Cameroon's anglophone regions, which
they say are politically disadvantaged in the predominantly
French-speaking nation.
