Anthony fled his village for the relative safety of #Buea in SW #Cameroon, but he says military harassing older men there, too: "They put the gun next to the ear of the Pa and shot it. He now has hearing problems." https://t.co/4y4H8K7flN #AnglophoneCrisis#Cameroons#Cameroun

"Everything is changing, and it is affecting women seriously because they have never experienced this kind of situation ... Everyday women give birth in the bush, there is gang rape, and women have been tortured -- it’s terrible."
