Thousands of Cameroonians have fled their homes ahead of a three-week curfew announced by separatist fighters. According to media reports, there was a lot of commotion at a bus station, where people were trying to board a vehicle to escape the curfew.
It was declared last week by the separatists to protest against life sentences given to 10 of their leaders, including Sisiku Ayuk Tabe, the President of the self-proclaimed Anglophone state of Ambazonia.
English-speaking Cameroonians say they are marginalised by the French-speaking majority.
The Anglophone crisis started in 2016 when lawyers and teachers went on strike over attempts to impose French in schools and courts.
