Children among the many killed in attack on Cameroon village
The United Nations has said a massacre in an anglophone region of Cameroon has left many villagers dead, including up to 14 children. An opposition party is blaming the killings on the army. The Northwest and Southwest regions are home to the country's large English-speaking minority. Separatists in the regions have been fighting the central government for three years. The conflict between anglophone forces seeking to break away from French-speaking Cameroon has claimed more than 3,000 lives and forced more than 700,000 people to flee their homes. For more, Newsday spoke to James Nunan, a local official of humanitarian coordination agency OCHA.
