Cameroon: in the shadow of Nigeria

[davidbfpo]

The previous post, in July 2018, referred to a short video clip circulating and allegedly showed Cameroon soldiers killing civilians - which was denied. Now a BBC News investigation, based on a close examination of the video, matching open source information and some sources within the army:

In July 2018 a horrifying video began to circulate on social media. It shows two women and two young children being led away at gunpoint by a group of Cameroonian soldiers. The captives are blindfolded, forced to the ground, and shot 22 times. The government of Cameroon initially dismissed the video as “fake news.” But BBC Africa Eye, through forensic analysis of the footage, can prove exactly where this happened, when it happened, and who is responsible for the killings
