Cameroonian army denies report on armyโs abuses by Human rights watch

The Ministry of Defence said on Wednesday that it firmly rejects what it calls an โoutrageously provocativeโ report by the U.S.-based Human Rights Watch (HRW) on atrocities committed by its troops in the English-speaking region of Northwest. Human rights watch published a report on Wednesday 11th of August accusing the Cameroonian military of destroying properties, executing civilians, and looting. Reacting to this report, the Cameroon Ministry of Defence through Atonfack Guemo stated that, โHRW is known for its loathing against the Cameroonian defense and security forces and its logic which consists in systematically attributing to the Cameroonian army the abusesโฆ based on alleged testimonies distilled by secessionist terrorists,โ โThe defense and security forces remain unperturbed as they carry on their operations across the national territory with respect for human and peoplesโ rights,โ he added.
