Systematic and widespread attacks by armed separatist groups on students, teachers and schools in Anglophone regions of Cameroon since 2017 have devastated children's right to education, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today.

The 131-page report "They Are Destroying Our Future: Armed Separatist Attacks on Students, Teachers, and Schools in Cameroon's Anglophone Regions" documents numerous education-related attacks by armed separatist groups in the English-speaking north-west and south-west between March 2017 and November 2021. The Groups have killed, beaten, kidnapped, threatened and terrorized students and educational staff; harassed and intimidated families into keeping their children away from school; and burned, destroyed, damaged and looted school buildings.
