  • Cameroon's army said Wednesday it killed five separatists in one of the country's insurgency-hit English-speaking regions, including the leader of a group that massacred seven schoolchildren during an attack on a school last year. Cameroon has been torn by violence since October 2017, when militants declared an independent state in the Northwest and Southwest regions, home to most of the anglophone minority in the majority French-speaking country. Both the separatists and government forces have been accused of atrocities in the fighting, which has killed more than 3,000 people and forced over 700,000 to flee their homes. But even against the backdrop of this brutal conflict, the slaughter of the seven children on October 24 shocked many. Gunmen on motorbikes rode up to a bilingual school in the Southwest town of Kumba and opened fire on girls and boys aged between 12 and 14. Army spokesman Cyrille Serge Atonfack Guemo said on Wednesday on that "the leader of the barbarian horde" responsible for the attack was killed in a military raid in the Southwest's Balangui on Sunday. The raid aimed to "put out of harm's way armed terrorists gathered to plan attacks on the town of Kumba and its surroundings", he said in a statement to AFP. A "violent clash" ensued, in which five separatists were killed, others were wounded, and weapons and ammunition was seized. Schools have become a target in the separatist insurgency, with education among the areas that some Cameroonian anglophones have built up a decades-long resentment against the largely francophone government. In November 2019, the UN Children's Fund reported that some 855,000 children were not attending school in the anglophone regions. About 90 percent of state-run primary schools, totalling more than 4,100 establishments, and 77 percent of the state-run secondary schools were not functioning or completely closed down, UNICEF found. rek/dyg/mm/dl/har
