7 dead as military, separatists impose terror on Ntarbah again!

Ntarbah village in Donga Mantung Division in the North West region of Cameroon is in the news again.

After the Ngarbuh massacre of 14 February 2020, the village has once more gained notoriety for violence and grief.

Inhabitants of the village were once more forced to shed tears last Monday after what they describe as “military/separatist wickedness” on them.

This follows the killing of seven civilians by the military. The army, however, says those killed were separatists.

A source in Nkambe, headquarters of Donga Mantung division is quoted as saying three of the seven people killed were hostages (a truck driver and two assistant drivers) earlier kidnapped by Ambazonia boys.

The separatists launched an attack on two trucks kidnapping all the occupants before setting ablaze the trucks with all their contents.

Following the burning, military men launched an attack on the separatists at the Ntarbah Hill, killing all they came across. One of the hostages wounded in the process is receiving treatment at the district hospital in Nkambe.

Donga Mantung division hitherto considered as an island of peace is today one of the epicenters of insecurity.

Residents say military- separatist confrontations are recorded on daily basis with civilians suffering the pains most often.

The people are pointing a finger at top politicians of the division who have armed some groups of boys working with the military to combat terrorism. They argue that the boys armed with weapons have been abusing their original mission to maintain peace.
