“An attack by Cameroonian soldiers on March 1, 2020, has come to light in which soldiers raped at least 20 women, including four with disabilities, arrested 35 men, and killed one man,” Human Rights Watch said. “The attack on the village of Ebam in the South-West region was one of the worst by Cameroon’s army in recent years.”
