THE HUMAN RIGHTS SITUATION OF THE NORTHWEST AND SOUTHWEST REGIONS FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE 2022 AS CAPTURED BY CENTRE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS AND DEMOCRACY IN AFRICA.

In the month of June, multiple attacks were recorded against civilians and civilian objects in Cameroon’s Northwest and Southwest Regions, including the massacre of at least nine unarmed civilians in Fungom by the Cameroonian Defence and Security Forces (DSF) and the burning of Mamfe District Hospital by non-state armed group (NSAG) fighters. In early June, armed separatist fighters also attacked a military post in Njitapon in West Region. This attack is particularly worrisome as it occurred in the Francophone part of Cameroon and could cause a spillover in violence. A military operation in Boyo Division, Northwest Region, also witnessed the killing of young men, burning of houses, and looting of stores. In the Southwest Region, a large massacre occurred, which led to the death of at least 30 civilians and the razing of over 50 structures. This attack was allegedly perpetrated by the Manyu Unity Warriors in the village Messaga Ekol in Ballin community in Akwaya Subdivision.
