US missionary killed in restive northwest Cameroon

An American missionary has died after his vehicle was “riddled with bullets” in Bambui township, in northwest Cameroon’s restive anglophone region, a religious official from the local archdiocese tells AFP.

A hospital source confirms that the unnamed man “died this afternoon” of his wounds, following the attack. The two anglophone regions in western Cameroon are the site of an uprising by armed separatists, who have also called for a boycott of local schools. They argue that the French-language education system penalizes English-speaking students.
