Officials in the south-western region of Cameroon have reported a deadly attack on a village by suspected separatist rebels.

The assault resulted in the tragic loss of at least 20 lives, leaving several others severely injured, and homes set ablaze in the Manyu area.

Since 2017, when separatists initiated clashes with government troops, the two Anglophone regions of Cameroon have been marred by persistent violence.

Throughout the conflict, both sides have faced accusations of committing widespread atrocities, leading to a death toll of at least 6,000 people and the displacement of nearly a million others.
