        Your reporting is sensationalist, racist and biased. Have you reported the burning of villages in 6 of #FreeSouthernCameroons #Ambazonia divisions by #PaulBiya 's soldiers? Did you hear of Mami Appih and other burned parents? Did you hear of #refugees giving birth in forests?

        Many thanks to the government of Cameroon for your relentless efforts to secure these lives. Besides, do whatever it takes for peaceful Cameroon.

        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
