Growing tension in the two Cameroonian English-speaking regions has led to the killing of over a dozen government troops by Anglophone activists who call for the independence of the minority community in the Central African nation. President Paul Biya has declared war against the separatists, describing them as “a secessionist group”.
Julius Ayuk Tabe, the Nigeria-based chairman of the Governing Council of Cameroon’s Ambazonia separatist movement, was taken into custody alongside six others at a hotel in Nigeria last weekend.
