This is one example of routine acts committed by Cameroon’s military especially in the English-speaking regions. No reaction from international community. Instead, the west is asking Cameroon to investigate. They’re basically asking Cameroon govt to cover up its atrocities.
Video clearly shows Cameroon military shooting at mother with children. Same as hundreds of other incidents. What’s there to investigate?
Condemn the actions and let the govt face consequences.

- pjc50 8y agoCameroon has not ratified the treaty joining it to the international criminal court. This puts it along with a very small number of other states where there isn't an international legal process for dealing with this kind of crime.
