Work has been brought to a halt at the CDC robber factory in Laduma, Kumba III Sub-Division in Meme Division. This was after some unknown gunmen attacked the factory chasing away the workers. Concordant reports said some properties including cars were destroyed. 

            This happened barely a week after serious confrontations were recorded in Malende and Laduma, between the military and gunmen believed to be elements of the Ambazonia restoration forces on Thursday 7 June 2018. The gun battle led to the death of one uniform officer.

Villagers flee as houses are burnt in Teke near Kumba

            Hundreds of villagers from Teke, a village located in Kumba III Sub-Division along the Kumba-Tombel road have fled their homes following serious gun battles between government forces and the ‘Ambazonia’ gunmen.

            The fleeing men, women, mothers carrying new born babies, grandmothers, children have flooded the streets and churches around the Fiango Three corners and Mambanda quarters in Kumba.

            Arriving in swoops, in the morning of Monday 11 June 2018, the refugees said they were fleeing for their lives as soldiers had stormed the village and were burning houses and exchanging gunshots with Amba fighters.

            We gathered that a microfinance institution in the village was also attacked and its doors forced open.

            Teke village on the outskirts of Kumba has been one of the hottest zones in the current crisis. Most of its residents have fled to safer localities.
