Unidentified gunmen have carried out a deadly attack, resulting in the loss of nine lives, including that of a recently married couple in the city of Bamenda in Cameroon. Authorities are attributing the attack to separatist rebels, who struck at a busy junction. A day before these latest shootings, troops attacked a residence in the same neighbourhood of Nacho, killing five young men. Amnesty International recently published a report detailing alleged murders and rapes by both sides in the Anglophone armed conflict and urging the government to investigate. Although no group has claimed responsibility for the killings, some separatist Ambazonia leaders in the diaspora have been urging their fighters to go after those they brand as "black legs", without mercy.
