The Anglophone crisis as we all know has been existing for seven years now and counting and there has been no solution to the issue to date. This has led to the loss of many lives as people are dying every day.
On Sunday, July 16 gunmen killed 10 people and injured two others at a busy junction in the city of Bamenda called Nancho Junction.
A witness said the attackers arrived in vehicles late on Sunday, ordered people onto the floor with accusations of failing to back local separatists, and opened fire as some obeyed while others ran.
The Ambazonia Defense Forces (ADF), the main separatist group in the English-speaking region which has been fighting since 2017 in protest of alleged marginalization by the majority French-speaking government, denied responsibility for this act which is where everyone is confused as the Military also deny responsibility of this act.
The witness further said the gunmen were in military uniforms when they arrived in two vehicles to storm Nancho Junction where restaurants, bars and shops are located, at around 7:30 pm (18:30 GMT).
They shot at people indiscriminately living everyone confuse still because the gunmen wore military uniforms. The witness said, “Before taking off that, there is a possibility that it could be revenge killing, considering what had happened in the same Nacho the previous day where six young boys were killed by the military, who were said to be separatist fighters”.
Civilians and people especially families who have lost loved ones plead with the Government of the country to look for a solution because they are tired of losing their loved ones to death every day.
