Cameroon Separatist Attacks intensify With Bus Ambush

Military officials in Cameroon have said that armed separatists killed at least six people and wounded nine when they attacked a bus on a highway in the village of Ekona, in the troubled southwest region of the country. 

In a video widely circulated on social media, soldiers confirmed that they removed four bodies from the bus, after the separatists opened fire on September 6, 2022. 

The separatist groups say they are fighting to liberate the English-speaking northwest and southwest regions from the rest of Cameroon and its French-speaking majority.

The war started in 2017, after English-speakers protested the domination of French in Cameroon state institutions.
