Unidentified armed men have slaughtered a civilian woman in Muyuka, Fako Division of Cameroon’s South West Region, a viral video shows.

The 26-second video believed to have been shot on Tuesday, August 11, 2020, at the Makanga neighborhood in Muyuka shows the lady sitting on the fringes of the tarmac that links Buea to Kumba with her hands tied behind.

With her back to the ground, she begs her abductors to give her a listening ear but they would not budge.

The armed men believed to be separatist fighters loyal to the putative state of Ambazonia are heard ordering the lady to put her head on the ground as one of them brandishes a machete.

With the aid of the machete, the lady’s neck is cut twice as the armed men throw invectives at her. With blood oozing vigorously from her neck, one of the executioners pulls the lady’s body and places it in the center of the Buea-Kumba highway.

The woman in her late 40s is accused by the armed men of being a blackleg, someone who serves as an informant for the state forces.

“Fresh from the Makanga Muyuka Fighters. Another blackleg down. From now on, we are going to clean Muyuka from all blacklegs. Her husband was beaten and sent out of town by us. She took her husband’s position as a blackleg,” a Facebook user, Amba Ganster said in a post accompanied by two photos of the lifeless body of the slaughtered woman.

 Shortly after the chilling video went viral, Belgium-based Cameroonian activist Mark Bareta published a tweet which puts responsibility at the doorsteps of the rebels.

“If you hate the struggle, ignore it and go about your business like some. Do not blackleg it. It's a dangerous business to blackleg. Like in any war or revolution, blacklegging pains, it has a cost and most often blacklegs are treated worse than the enemy because it hurts,” Bareta tweeted.

Today’s incident in Muyuka is akin to the killing of Ayafor Florence, wardress at the Bamenda Central Prison on September 29, 2019. Ayafor was kidnapped in Pinyin and her head chopped off the next day by rebels.

Earlier today, armed separatists murdered a man in Ngoketunjia Division, North West Region on allegations that he is an informant for the state forces.

On Friday, Pastor Tanjoh Christopher Fon, a community leader and humanitarian aid worker with the local nongovernmental organization Community Initiative for Sustainable Development was killed by the separatists.

Cameroon-Info.Net recalls that on May 18, 2020, Tibor Peter Nagy Jr., the United States Assistant Secretary of State, Bureau of African Affairs, Department of State, took to twitter calling on the belligerents in the conflict in Cameroon’s North West and South West Regions to “stop [the] violence and start talking.”

He said the killing of civilians is inexcusable.
