At least eight children were killed Saturday and several wounded in attack on a school in Kumba, in the English-speaking part of southwestern Cameroon, the United Nations said. An initial report by a local official had given a death toll of four students. "These people will be caught by any means," said Chamberlin Ntou'ou Ndong, the prefect of the Meme department. He did not say if the attackers were suspected separatists in a region that has been hit by unrest since 2017. The conflict between anglophone separatists in two western districts and government security forces has claimed more than 3,000 lives. In early September, the army launched an operation against separatists in the English-speaking Northwest region, which along with the Southwest region complains of decades of discrimination by the francophone majority. jbk-amt-wai/pma
