Cameroon Splinter Groups Blamed For Killings, Abductions
In a video widely circulated on social media platforms, Cameroon's English-speaking separatists have for the first time acknowledged deadly clashes between splinter rebel groups.
Capo Daniel, the deputy defence chief of the Ambazonia Defence Forces, one of the main separatist groups in Cameroon's English-speaking western regions, said that rivalry among fighters has greatly weakened the separatists' struggle to create Ambazonia, the name they want to give their breakaway state.
Both the Cameroon government and separatist leaders have confirmed that the videos are those of rival separatist groups in Cameroon's English-speaking western regions.
Rights groups have accused both Cameroon's military and anglophone separatists of killing civilians and torching their homes in the conflict. Both sides have rejected the accusations.
