Active counter-insurgency operations

Suspected separatist fighters killed 15 civilians, including eight children, in an early-morning attack on Mbororo herders in Cameroon's Northwest Region on January 14, 2026. The massacre in Ndu subdivision targeted the Mbororo, whom separatists accuse of collaborating with the government; the conflict has become a multi-sided war where civilians are killed by all parties.
