MSF stops most work in Cameroon’s North-West

The NGO Medecins Sans Frontieres has decided to pull most staff out of Cameroon’s North-West region, after failing to reach an agreement to end a suspension of activities imposed by the government last year. Around 3,000 people have been killed and a million more have fled their homes in Cameroon’s English-speaking regions, where armed separatist groups have been fighting the military.

Plus, one year on from violent protests in parts of northern Sierra Leone and Freetown, during which dozens of people were killed by the security forces, questions persist as to why the authorities have not looked into the incidents.

And several thousand protesters have marched through Ghana’s capital Accra, with demonstrations taking place under the slogan ‘Fix The Country’.
