On November 18, 2025, in Pondo Balue, Ndian State, Southern Ambazonia, the Cameroon Occupation Forces abducted and executed two innocent civilians, Nakoko Malike and Nanje Henry. These killings were carried out without any legal process, highlighting a blatant disregard for human life. The extrajudicial executions of Nakoko Malike and Nanje Henry represent one of many atrocities committed against civilians, underscoring the systemic abuses faced by the people of Ambazonia.

Violation of International Laws

The killings of Nakoko Malike and Nanje Henry constitute a serious violation of International Laws, particularly the Geneva Conventions, which protect civilians during armed conflicts. Arbitrary abduction and execution of non-combatants are considered war crimes under International Humanitarian Law. By targeting innocent civilians, the Cameroon Occupation Forces have breached fundamental principles of distinction and proportionality, cornerstones of International Laws designed to limit civilian suffering.

Human Rights Abuses

Beyond International Laws, the Cameroon Occupation Forces’ actions infringe upon core human rights, including the right to life, security, and freedom from torture or cruel treatment. The killings of Nakoko Malike and Nanje Henry are part of a larger pattern of human rights abuses, including arbitrary arrests, intimidation, and violence against local communities. These actions create an environment of fear and insecurity, preventing civilians from living with dignity and safety.

Impunity and Calls for Justice

Local communities continue to mourn the loss of Nakoko Malike and Nanje Henry while condemning the impunity that allows the Cameroon Occupation Forces to continue such crimes. The absence of accountability undermines trust in justice systems and perpetuates cycles of violence. Residents and human rights advocates are demanding urgent International intervention to ensure that perpetrators are held responsible and that victims’ families receive justice.

Need for International Accountability

The systematic targeting of civilians, exemplified by the killings of Nakoko Malike and Nanje Henry, calls for immediate action from the global community. International courts, humanitarian organizations, and advocacy groups must investigate, document, and prosecute these atrocities. Holding the Cameroon Occupation Forces accountable is essential to protect human rights, uphold International Laws, and defend the dignity and freedom of Ambazonia’s people.
