For nearly a decade, there has been a violent crisis unfolding in Cameroon. It’s a conflict between Cameroon’s security forces and armed separatists over the country’s two English-speaking regions; a conflict that has subjected the local population to property destruction, unlawful killings, rapes, abductions and much more.
Cameroonian journalist Blaise Eyong, who has been reporting on this story since the unrest began in 2016, takes us into the heart of one of the world’s most neglected crises — bringing us face to face with both its victims and its perpetrators.
