Cameroon Military Arrests 100s in Anglophone Regions After Civilians Killed

Moki Edwin Kindzeka

   YAOUNDE - Military forces arrested several hundred people in Cameroon's
   North West and South West regions this week as they searched for those
   behind the killing of at least 13 civilians in the regions, including
   aid workers.

   Public sentiment was inflamed when videos of beheaded women and
   civilians stabbed or shot to death were shared on social media.

   The government blames separatist forces for the deaths, and the U.S.
   Embassy in Yaounde on Friday condemned what it called the horrific and
   senseless attacks by armed separatist fighters.
