At least five people, including a senior official and a mayor, have been killed in Cameroon
Reports from Government and security sources have confirmed a senior government administrator, a mayor and three others have been killed by a detonated improvised explosive device (IED) on Wednesday in Cameroon’s southwest region which is predominantly English-speaking.
The victims’ convoy was “targeted in an attack by separatists” on the motorway between Ekondo-Titi and Bekora, according to a senior police officer quoted by AFP.
Some Anglophone groups took up arms in 2017, demanding independence from the rest of the country where French is the main official language.
