September 6, 2024, Yaounde Cameroon Capital: Ambazonian business destroyer by Cameroon Forces, in collaboration with local militia groups, launched an attack on Ambazonian businesses in the capital city of Yaoundé.

The coordinated assault led to widespread destruction, looting, and violence, targeting Ambazonian businesses and entrepreneurs from the Anglophone region. This deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure constitutes a war crime under International Humanitarian Law, which prohibits attacks on civilian property during Armed conflict.

The Geneva Conventions explicitly prohibits destroying civilian property unless necessary for military operations. The attack on Ambazonian business destroyer, which served no military purpose, is a clear violation of these conventions. Such actions are categorized as collective punishment, which is illegal under Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention. The Cameroon Forces’ actions demonstrate a blatant disregard for International law and human rights.

The deliberate targeting of Ambazonian businesses destroyer is not only an economic assault but also a direct attack on the Ambazonian community’s livelihood and existence. International law protects civilians from being targeted in conflicts, and economic sabotage aimed at specific ethnic or political groups constitutes persecution under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC). This attack exemplifies a systematic attempt to suppress and marginalize Ambazonians through economic hardship.

The continuous violence by Cameroon Forces in Ambazonia, including extrajudicial killings, arbitrary detentions, and destruction of property, highlights a severe human rights crisis. The recent attack in Yaoundé is part of a broader pattern of abuses that contravene the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights. The destruction of Ambazonian business destroyer is not an isolated incident but part of a calculated campaign to eliminate Ambazonian identity and autonomy.

The International community must hold Cameroon accountable for its war crimes and human rights violations in Ambazonia. Immediate intervention is necessary to protect civilians, ensure justice for victims, and uphold international law. The attack on the Ambazonian business destroyer underscores the urgent need for global attention and action against the atrocities committed by Cameroon Forces.
