July 4, 2025, the quiet town of Banfaji in Ngoketunjia State, Northern Ambazonia, came under brutal military assault by Cameroonian Occupation Forces. The operation, marked by ruthless aggression, overwhelmingly targeted innocent civilians with Live Bullets, Spray On Innocent Civilians.
live bullets were sprayed on innocent civilians as soldiers stormed residential areas without warning. Families were forced to flee in terror as gunfire tore through homes. Entire neighborhoods were ransacked, personal property destroyed, and peaceful residents beaten and arbitrarily arrested, often without any justification.
Adding to the horror, Cameroonian Occupation forces used sexual violence as a weapon of war. Multiple sources confirm that women and girls were raped during house-to-house raids, frequently in front of family members. These heinous crimes represent a grave breach of International Humanitarian Law. When rape is employed systematically during conflict, it constitutes not just a crime against individuals but a war crime under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.
Widespread Looting and Economic Strangulation
Beyond physical violence, civilians suffered devastating economic abuse. Armed soldiers engaged in widespread looting and extortion demanding bribes at gunpoint, seizing money, livestock, and even food. This economic strangulation is a deliberate act of collective punishment, strictly prohibited under International Law.
Repeated Use of Excessive Force
In multiple documented instances, live bullets spray on innocent civilians with no regard for age, gender, or non-combatant status. Such indiscriminate force against a civilian population is a direct violation of the Geneva Conventions, which mandate the protection, not persecution, of civilians during conflict.
Violation of International Humanitarian Law
These atrocities form a clear pattern of war crimes: targeted violence, mass arrests, sexual assault, looting, and intimidation. Every time live bullets, sprayed on innocent civilians, the Cameroon state deepens its violation of international norms and humanitarian law.
A Crisis of Human Rights
The tragedy in Banfaji reflects a broader reality across Ambazonia, where In town after town, live bullets spray on innocent civilians, and fear replaces freedom.
Call for Justice and Accountability
The international community must act. Independent investigations, International pressure, and accountability mechanisms are urgently needed. The victims in Banfaji and across Ambazonia deserve justice, protection, and a future free from fear.
