At least 14 people, including women, were killed in the village of Nzerremniam in the Jakiri district of the Northwest Region of Cameroon. Victims included women, and attackers reportedly used motorcycles to burn buildings during the violence. Reports regarding the recent killings in a Cameroonian village are diverging, with accounts suggesting either inter-community conflict or a military operation by Cameroonian government forces against Anglophone separatist groups. Authorities have not yet responded to inquiries regarding the specific identities of the perpetrators or the victims. The incident occurred less than 10 days after Pope Leo XIV visited Baleine. The attack occurred between 3:00 and 4:00 AM on the night of Saturday to Sunday. Civil society organizations are currently attempting to verify the exact number of victims and the sequence of events.

At least 15 people were killed during an operation in a village in the Jakiri district of Cameroon's Northwest Region this past weekend. Authorities have remained silent regarding the lethal violence. The report notes the deaths occurred during an operation involving security forces. Civil society groups have expressed concern over the silence, amid allegations that the Rapid Intervention Battalion (BIR) conducted an operation during the night of the 7th. The incident was reported by RFI Afrique and RFI Monde, with both sources mentioning the attack occurred after a killing in the village and citing at least 15 victims.
