Unarmed Woman Shot in Leg by Ambazonia Separatists

Tensions in Tatum have reached a boiling point following an incident where an unarmed woman was shot in the leg by armed men identifying themselves as Ambazonian separatist fighters. The woman sustained a gunshot wound to her right leg at close range, witnessed by horrified onlookers. The attackers accused her of being a “blackleg,” a derogatory term used for individuals perceived as opposing the separatist ideology. Their allegations stemmed from claims of her romantic involvement with a soldier.

Witnesses reported that the woman screamed in excruciating pain as she was shot in the right leg. Her current whereabouts remain unknown, triggering widespread condemnation and debate across social media platforms.

“This is not the way to gain support,” remarked Tiamuligh Desmond on Facebook. “If they [the separatists] were treating our people well, our people wouldn’t be cooperating with our enemies.”

The incident has reignited discussions about the nature of the conflict in the North West Region, with some residents arguing that the violence has strayed from its original cause.

“It is no longer the Anglophone crisis, but rather the North West crisis,” wrote Akwa E Teh on social media. “Anglophones in Bamenda have killed their brothers more than what the military has done. If you want to convince me that what you’re doing is correct, convince me to believe you. Don’t kill me to believe you.”

Others expressed despair over the deteriorating situation. “Oh God, how did we get here?” commented Marion Arrey, echoing the sentiments of many distressed by the violence.

Ernest Platini condemned the attackers, emphasising the sanctity of human life. “Idiots, their own crimes are worse than that woman’s. A woman represents humanity; harming her is an everlasting curse. Mama, God is in control, but I advise you to leave and make a home elsewhere,” he posted.

The incident underscores the deep divisions and ongoing violence in the region, with many calling for an end to the bloodshed. The uncertainty surrounding the woman’s fate emphasizes the urgent need for resolution and peace in the troubled area.
