Cameroon - November 2023

After several months in which the level of violence in the long-running conflict between anglophone separatists and the central government of Cameroon had decreased, there was a significant increase in violence in November. In one particularly notable event on 6 November, gunmen identified in press reports as anglophone separatists killed at least 20 people in the village of Egbekaw, in south-western Cameroon. The attack took place on the 41st anniversary of the beginning of President Paul Biya’s rule.
