The Geneva Conventions aim to protect civilians during armed conflicts. The abduction, rape, and extortion carried out by Cameroon Occupation Forces are grave breaches of these conventions.

These actions not only infringe upon the safety and dignity of civilians but also contribute to a pervasive climate of fear and instability in Ambazonia. The use of force to exploit and detain civilians violates their fundamental human rights and underscores the urgent need for accountability and justice through International legal mechanisms.
