May 24, Mamfe Mamyu, Southern Ambazonia. VICTIM OF CAMEROON BRUTALITY IN AMBAZONIA In the early hours of Sunday, May 25, 2025, at approximately 12:30 a.m. residents of Mamfe in Manyu State, Southern Ambazonia, were subjected once again to a horrifying episode of violence perpetrated by Cameroon’s occupation forces. Eyewitnesses recount how heavily armed troops stormed a civilian residence, forcefully breaking down the door without any warrant or legal justification. The victim, accused of false charges, fled in fear for his life, only to be hunted down and shot at close range with live ammunition. Military trucks and a bus were used in the raid, indicating a calculated and premeditated attack.
