Cameroon’s North West and South West regions have been hit by sporadic gunshots and fierce confrontations between security forces and pro-independence fighters this October 1, 2018, which marks the independence day of Southern Cameroons.
Though over 90% of the population stayed indoors following a-48 hours curfew imposed on them by government officials, the sounds of gunshots have been the frustration of many.
Gunshots were heard early today along the Mbonge road leading to Kumba, in Mile 14, Dibanda, the Baptist area near street 2 Buea, Bambui in Tubah Sub Division, Bafut, Kumbo.
“It is hot here in Kumbo, denizens are all on the floor… Gunshots are coming from all directions…” a local wrote to Mimi Mefo Info at 11am today.
Tension mounted in Bafut amid reports of military invasion of homes in search of Amba boys. Calm is yet to return to the area like in neighbouring Mile 90 where gunshots were heard.
In Bafut in Mezam, and Fundong chief town of Boyo Division, pro-independence fighters hoisted Ambazonia flags.
