Cameroon army denies shooting women and children
#MTNshortz3sixtyworld
The Cameroonian military has denied that there are any government soldiers in a video which shows men in uniform shooting dead women and children.
The shocking video, which has caused outrage on social media in Cameroon, shows the men blindfolding a young girl as well as two women – one of whom has a baby strapped to her back.
Speaking French with Cameroonian accents, the men kill the group after accusing them of belonging to the jihadist group Boko Haram.
A source familiar with the area has told the BBC that the video was filmed in the northern region of Mayo Tsanaga where the Cameroonian army has a base.
