Thursday’s Incidents In Wum And Nkambe Central; Casualties You Should Know
Thursday March 14, 2019 was a bloody day in some villages in the North Wets region of Cameroon following a scorched earth policy perpetrated by Cameroon’s soldiers on the population of these areas.
This policy was once defended by former Communication Director at the Ministry of defense, Col Badjeck who said that in cases where some villages are accused of hiding Ambazonia fighters, burning of houses is enviable. This reaction was made after soldiers were caught on camera setting houses ablaze in Azi, Lebialem division. The soldiers have been given green lights to burn houses and in doing so, they kill, loot and destroy. They have even been defended internationally by Foreign Minister as “very professional” soldiers who respect human rights.
So, it all happened that some villages were going to be targets early Thursday March 14, 2019 in a continuous burning spree.

The soldiers went to Zonghontia-Kesu village and continued the burning spree, putting down a small house with four boys inside. CNA has gathered that the boys were taking care of someone’s Coffee farm after the owner had escaped last August 2018, when Soldiers raided the area.
