        As much as I am totally against any form of kidnaping, it is a disgrace from Cameroun gov to lie. This is why the #AnglophoneCrisis will only get worst.

        @BBCAfrica these are lies. "Rebels" have been fighting against rogue regime military agents. No tourists have been taken hostage, NONE

        Eighteen tourists kidnapped in Anglophone #Cameroon on the same day that the PM held a meeting to promote tourism. The upside: the army rescued the hostages within hours https://reut.rs/2GBc58S
