The military is said to have stormed the Malende neighborhood in Muyuka, Fako Division, Monday, August 12, 2019 shooting indiscriminately.

“One was shot on the leg and the other person killed as the military raided the area and started shooting rampantly. As civilians were fleeing for their lives, they shot one guy on the leg and the other person was shot dead,” a local said in tears.

Most locals have fled into the bushes to seek refuge as the guns smoke.
All the males in Muyuka Subdivision are now seen as restoration fighters by Cameroon’s security forces.
