It is not known if the woman in question is one of those displaced by the socio-political crisis ongoing in the country’s North West and South West Regions.
Cameroon’s state forces have been battling to dislodge armed separatists who pitched their tents in the North West and South West Regions since Anglophone protests transformed into an armed conflict in 2017.
Corporate demands by Common Law Lawyers and Anglophone Teachers led to protests in November 2016. The street demonstrations later morphed into ongoing running gun battles between state forces and armed separatist fighters in the predominantly English-speaking regions, leading to untold destruction of human lives, their habitats, and livelihoods.
Tit-for-tat killings, kidnappings, arbitrary arrests, arsons, maiming, and outright terror have become part of daily lives in some parts of the English-speaking regions.
According to UN estimates, more than 679,000 people are currently internally displaced in Cameroon’s North West and South West Regions, in addition to the almost 60,000 who have crossed the border seeking asylum in Nigeria.
