Another law enforcement officer was killed on Monday by Anglophone secessionists in Cameroon, as English speaking Cameroonian activists continue to seek independence with bombs and guns. Since calls for independence by South West and North West regions activists in Cameroon escalated last year, many soldiers and policemen have been gunned down while the Cameroonian military has also killed, arrested and tortured many activists. But it took time and it was only in 1960 and 1961 that Cameroon under France and then Britain became independent. While English speaking Cameroonians want Cameroon to go back to the time before 1972, French speaking Cameroonians argued that Cameroon had always been one country before France and Britain divided and shared it and would remain one country. Violence has continued to escalate for the liberation of the activists and the independence of North West and South West regions in Cameroon.
