Clashes Between Rival “Amba ” Camps Leave Three Dead, Others Wounded.

By Raymond Dingana.
 Three suspected "Ambazonian" fighters from Babessi have been killed in Bangolan, Ngoketunjia Division of the North West Region of Cameroon, Saturday November 02, 2019. Though the circumstances surrounding their death still remain unclear, eye witness accounts are indicating that, the three were killed when they were on one of their routine controls at the Bangolan market and met with stiff resistance from those in Bangolan.
The resistance later degenerated into a serious clash between the two camps leading to the death of three of those from Babessi while two others sustained life threatening wounds. Reports are also indicating that, one of those killed, abducted four of his uncles for being against his ways of doing things and took them to an undisclosed location last Friday November 01, 2019.
Mohammed who hails from Babessi told DrayInfos that, those from Babessi have always been a thorn in the flesh of the population of Bangolan. He cited an instance where the fighters from Babessi disrupted the supply of electricity to the population of Bangolan thereby depriving them of electricity, asking for huge sums of money before electricity could be reinstated. 
Another native who opted for anonymity, disclosed to DrayInfos that, about two months ago, some fighters from Bamunka-Ndop were overpowered by the population of Bafanji when they came and attempted destroying the bridge linking Bafanji and the West Region of Cameroon.
