Two villagers were publicly "executed" by separatist rebels in western Cameroon. The conflict between the army and Separatists from the English-speaking minority has been ongoing for almost seven years. The rebels, who demand the independence of the two regions, are known to carry out targeted assassinations of civilians, particularly civil servants and teachers. Amnesty International has expressed alarm over the "atrocities" committed by both security forces and armed separatists, including extrajudicial executions, homicides, torture, and rape. The conflict has resulted in the death of over 6,000 people and forced more than a million people to flee.
