Cameroonians accuse military of torching homes
People in the city of Bamenda in north-west Cameroon have accused the military of setting fire to homes and businesses.
The area is at the centre of a five-year-old separatist rebellion which has displaced hundreds of thousands and forced most schools in the country’s Anglophone regions to shut down.
Residents say soldiers torched the properties in Bamenda on Wednesday in response to a rebel ambush.
The Cameroonian authorities have not commented.
