YAOUNDE, Aug 30 (NNN-IRIN) – At least two Cameroonian government forces were killed, in an ambush by suspected separatist fighters, in the country’s restive Anglophone region, local defence sources said, yesterday.
The incident occurred in Lipenja, a village of the South-west region, on Saturday.
A senior military official said that, bodies of the two government forces were recovered, after the gunmen ambushed the security check point in the locality.
Two other members of the security forces were injured in the attack, said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The separatist fighters have been clashing with government forces since 2017, when they declared the “independence” of Cameroon’s two Anglophone regions of North-west and South-west.– NNN-IRIN
