On Thursday, October 1, the anniversary of Cameroon’s reunification, the anglophone regions of the Northwest and Southwest observed a “ghost town” day.
This mobilization was called by anglophone separatists, according to RFI. In response, Cameroonian authorities deployed security forces to patrol several towns in these regions.
Economic and social activities were slowed in major towns, with residents mostly staying at home, reflecting the scale of the call for civil disobedience.
