“The U.S. also calls attention to the conflict in Cameroon, which @Refugees reports has displaced nearly 680K people. We are deeply concerned by the death of journalist Samuel Wazizi while in Cameroonian military detention & call for an ind. investigation,” the US Mission tweeted.
On their part, the German Mission to Cameroon, focused on the impact of the conflict on the sub region while calling for accountability in Wazizi’s death as well as respect for human life.
