Cameroon’s genocidal military by the Paul Biya-led regime committed another massacre of at least six (6) and 10 injured Southern Cameroons /Ambazonian civilians in a snack Bar at Mile 90 Nsongwa-Bamenda (Mezam County)
This is yet another atrocious act committed by la Republique du Cameroun’s military. Paul Biya’s regime attempt to manipulate the local population using media by incriminating the Ambazonian Restoration Forces (ARF) of being responsible for the horrendous atrocity is extremely unacceptable and condemnable. According to eyewitness accounts, they were la Republique du Cameroun’s military forces during the massacre, there were seen gulping looted beer from the snack bar before exiting the scene of the crime.
This atrocious act in Mile 90 Ngongwa, Bamenda, follows many other massacres that have been perpetrated by Biya’s – led genocidal regime of la Republique du Cameroun.

Once more, Southern Cameroons National Council SCNC and other groups continued to urge the United Nations and other international organizations for an immediate intervention to help end the over four (4) years’ war that keep worsening as time persists. We very much believe that the inability to act against these genocidaires by holding them accountable for previous massacres has emboldened them to continue to carry on other acts such as this.
In effect, from 2017 till now, it has been the deadliest period in the Southern Cameroonians (Ambazonia) history and la Republique du Cameroun continues to massacre our people with impunity through the ongoing genocide.
Separatist have been fighting since 2017 to form an English-speaking state within the majority French-speaking country. Consequently, the response of the government forces has always been brutal and deadly. The Mile 90 Ngongwa, Bamenda incident is just one of the many incidents whereby government forces have massacred unarmed civilians in the names of fight the separatists.
Cameroon government forces have persistently violated the Rights and freedom of the people of Ambazonia. The military is known to have been raping women, including those with disabilities, and arbitrarily arresting and beating young men. However, many of these violations have been underreported partly for fear of reprisal from the military.
