Cameroon “torturing” English speakers in new “genocide”
Summary
1) Cameroon torturing English speakers in new genocide
2) Spiralling violence is gripping Cameroon with a damning report by Amnesty International laying out a string of rights abuses committed by the countrys armed and security forces.
3) The government has made its own counter claims, accusing separatists of targeting those who refuse to support the breakaway cause. President Paul Biya has condemned all acts of violence, regardless of their sources and their perpetrators. But is this simply a way for the president to retain his 35-year grip on power? And are protestors right when they say whats happening in Cameroon is a genocide?
4) Though unverified, harrowing images of violence are circulating on social media, underscoring the claims by the English-speaking demonstrators that they are being systematically targeted. The Anglophone minority claims they are being persecuted by an unjust French-speaking majority, keen to maintain the colonial past and that their plight is being ignored by the global community. Are they right? And what of the accusations by the army that the separatists have blood on their hands?
