Cameroon military kills dozens of separatist fighters

The military in Cameroon says it has killed 24 separatist fighters during an offensive in the anglophone parts of the country.

Gen Valere Nka said 13 separatists were killed in a five-day operation along a road leading to neighbouring Nigeria.

Eleven were killed in a separate attack on a rebel base.

The military said one soldier had died.

More than 3,000 people have been killed during the three-year rebellion, and 250,000 have been displaced.

The separatists are fighting for an independent anglophone state called Ambazonia.
