U.N.: 22 Killed, Including 14 Children, in Massacre in Cameroon
---------------------------------------------------------------

In Cameroon, the United Nations says at least 22 people were killed,
including 14 children, in a massacre Friday in the Anglophone region of
the country. An opposition party has blamed the killings on the army,
which the army denied. The massacre comes amid a conflict between the
Cameroon army and English-speaking separatist fighters, which has killed
thousands of people and has forced more than half a million civilians to
flee their homes.
