On June 24, 2025, Cameroonian security forces reportedly killed five men and burned several homes in the Anglophone region town of Ekona. The incident is part of the intensifying conflict between government forces and separatist groups in Southwest Cameroon, which has escalated since mid-2023.
Local sources and human rights observers have documented similar clashes, noting that houses in multiple villages have been destroyed, displacing families already struggling amid the ongoing crisis. Calls for accountability have come from civil society groups and international advocates urging restraint and protection of civilian lives.
